God needs money like we need a hole in our head


Correct! God says to FEED His sheep, not fleece them for profit. Some self-appointed shepherds will have ALOT of explaining to do one of these days.

Yes, if the money that is going to all the TBN organizations, these Benny Hinn type "ministries" and these abusive ultra-tithe churches- was actually going toward needy people, there would not be one hungry, cold or homeless person left in America. The church has become wasteful because it's profits are gobbled up by greedy, gluttonous wolves in sheeps clothing and monstrosity church buildings.
Who are these people behind the stained glass windows? Have they forgotten just what they came here for? Was it salvation or "scared of hell" or
an assembly of a social get-together?
