I've never stepped foot inside a church. Do they pass a hat around for donations at most Churches? I would like to check one out sometime. We have a very famous one here. The Santa Barbara Mission. People come from all over to see it. I live about a 1000 feet away from it.
I love that place illini.

An hour away from the outside world will do you good. Even if you are not into church that much

It would blow your mind to find out how much money some of the churches take in. I'm on the board of a local bank that handles some of the larger churches in the area, and the weekly amounts they pull in from the offering alone is staggering. The pastors are basically CEO's of a midsize corporation. The tax breaks alone are incredible.
opie i want numbers on Fellowship on Grapevine. Ed Young Jr looks like a scoundrel and i bet he's double dipping. i have to have a jet or I will get mobbed sitting in coach

The sheer amount of actual "cash" some of these top preachers bring in weekly make it almost impossible to stay "pure" as far as compensation.
These guys like Young are basically rock stars.
Unreal.

Opie I was a Deacon at Houston 2nd Baptist 1999-2003 and cleared 150k a year tax free working under Ed Young Sr.
Opie do you know of any church openings in the Metroplex you can hook me up with? Opie Osteen banned me while in Houston so no megachurches as I'm on the not for rehire list. I was set up there too
