Frankly, I find that organized churches are more about collecting $$$ and not saving souls. I see far too many preachers who live rather well. I recall being at the Moon Valley Country Club for some meeting and happen to notice the membership fees. First, you had to be invited and then the dues were in the neighborhood of $40,000 per year. Funny, but the dues for a pastor, preacher were only $12000. Still quite a bit, but what kind of preacher can afford to throw away $12000 on a golf membership when that money could be used at his church. Seems that the richer the flock, the richer the preacher. Isn't that how it goes? I am a catholic by baptism. I didn't have a choice. Not that it matters. I don't go to church because it is the same thing year in and year out. I really find that most churches are "cliques", so to speak. Look around and you will a lot of cliques in any particular church. Just seems to me that many preachers act as if they are "entitled" to a life of luxury.</p>dan1964Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:01:50 -0000
