That's one of the things I like about my church. Everything is posted in the weekly bulletin. Every dollar collected, the weekly and monthly budget and yes this includes salaries. About 1/3 goes to staff and the building, the rest is given to projects like benevolence/feeding the members of the community, various camps, and schools, mission trips and even some seed churches we started in other countries. there are also third party organizations that churches subscribe to if they don't want to open their books to the general public that ensure that no one is dipping their hand into the till.

Care to speculate on what John will do with the money? Ya know he's gonna get some.

Maybe he'll continue his correspondence with that faith healer guy. You know, just to see where things go... Tongue

I just imagine the room in the mega church where the little colorful oils and mountain shapes are just being shoved into envelopes and the checks being stacked into a nice little pile.

For Jesus.

You know, I wonder if, when you donate money, Oliver sends you cloth cutouts of the space sex gecko? Or perhaps sputum coughed up by Jeff the Diseased Lung?

Whose got some spare cash and wants to find out for the rest of us? Big Grin
