I don't I have in anyway been manipulated or brainwashed in anyway. When I chose to become a follower of Christ, I made that decision under my own will, no human was present. I don't think my churches uses our money for their own gain neither the elders or the minister are rich. Before they take offering the remind non church members that they don't need to give anything. Currently we are collecting money for the crisis in Iraq and Sudan and we collect food to give to the elderly, this isn't a way of the elders gaining money. There are a number of times in the Bible when God showed himself to people not just elders. Jesus is one of the main points to Christianity, how did he gain power and wealth by dying on a tree for his teaching.
