Black Churches = $$$

[TwistedMetal]

It could be any mega church but I just saw this online

I already know about the big money behind religion. These people are getting PAID millions of dollars to preach the "word", got mansions, cars, private jets...

Sometimes I do think if they really about that gospel life
or are they about that paper

I don't know if I could live a life of guilt knowing I have a cult of people paying me stacks preaching and shyt


Knowing damn well I'm just jibber jabbin' and countin them minutes til them offering plates gets circulating in my 10,000 sq church with thousands of people










Makes a nikka rethink about the church grams use to take me as a youngin

Jesus was suppose to be a humble man with nothing, I expect the same from preachers. The more extravagant, the more in touch with the devil they are.

You think the dude who dresses as the Easter bunny or as Santa Claus gives a damn if he's deceiving the children that sit on his lap to take pics? He's just there for the bread. I know it isn't on as grand a scale as those preachers but it's the same concept. People want so hard to believe in anything, if someone is going to fill that void and there is money to be made why not them?



Also this problem isn't exclusive to black churches breh.

only on the coli are black churches making money, Majority of churches have a board, pastor aint digging into the tithes and offering like these dudes think.

most of these extravagant black preachers are making their money through books, cds, speaking arrangements not through preaching, most pastors don't even draw a salary.

man ive been through so many black churches in my life that could barely stay afloat, nikkaz putting 5 dollars for tighes and offering and the high ass rent churches have to pay due to being zoned in the worst areas.

Example church i go to now is small just like 25-30 people, every week the rent is 300 bucks, plus greedy ass keyboardist gets another 100

90% of people that show up throwing a loonie or toonie in the pile,

If I was a christian, I don't know why i'd go to a broke church.

I'd seriously wonder WTF was wrong with this nikka's preaching

who cares?

I ain't even mad.

I don't even like hearing christians bytch about how much money their pastors make.

They got that money VOLUNTARILY.
