Yea, Money Cometh!

Of course this kind of nepotism never happens on old time Oneness Pentecost!

Re: Televangelist's Family Prosper's From Ministry
 

The salaries and monies paid are not at all out of line with the size of the organization or compensation paid to executives of a comparable size corporation. Matter of fact, they are very conservation in comparison.

Re: Televangelist's Family Prosper's From Ministry
 

But, the Church is not a corporation. It is the church, period. All that money is wasted!

Brother, it takes money to do the work of the kingdom, the Copeland's raise more money in a year than most churches do in a lifetime. They invest in what they believe is the work of the kingdom. I am not particularly a fan of the Copeland's, but the idea that a para-church organization should not generate enormous amounts of money and pay the leaders well is ridiculous.

I live in Boyd, about 10 miles from this compound. It is ridiculous, they have armed gaurds on church property at all times.

I have a man who works for me who attends that church, (he moved from Virginia just to attend the Copeland church). I asked him about the armed gaurds, he said that when they take up the offering, they also have armed gaurds who escort the ushers.

This same man also lived in someoneone's back yard for 6 months while all of his tithe and offering went to people living the high life. Did they help him? Oh yeah, they rented him and his family a motel room for 2 weeks, but that was it.

Amazingly, He still goes there, and believes that those people are the most righteous of all christians.

"Pay the leaders well"? I think that the idea that church leaders are entitled to be paid well is ridiculous.

Pay the leaders fairly, yes. But where does it say church/ministry leaders must be paid well?

Jesus wasn't paid well, neither was Paul, or any of the other apostles, as far as we know.

Ridiculous is living in a 6 million dollar home, and living a life of luxury, while the people under you are hurting. Ridiculous is having the ability to do so much more for others, but instead you live the easy life. Give me a break, Copeland needs to re-read Jeremiah.

Okay, I said I am not a fan!
