Who cares what the churches spend their money on. Sure some of it is over the top but the only people with a real beef are those that actually donate.

Well, since in this case the security guard was a former police officer, doesn't that change things a bit? as far as knowing the laws of when and where you can bend a rule in order to shoot, yes. actual firearm qualification, no. we both use the same state mandated standardized testing. (200 out of 300) (i scored a 287 texas has some of the strictest score and knowledge requirements. places like oregon and california have the lowest score requirements (160 out of 300) -------------------- |

Uh... they're tax exempt? Spending money on Rolls Royce car rental, $5,000/night penthouses, $23,000 toilets are excessive. That's why there's a probe into church finances to see if they are abusing their tax exempt status. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

I've been to a lot of churches and never seen the bolded... I have seen the flat panel TVs and that makes me angry. As far as projectors go, would you rather them have a projector to put music/lyrics on the screen or print out thousands of sheets of paper that will go in the trash? youre obviously not jewish. -------------------- ![]() |

Well who is buying the toilet? The church or the pastor? If it's the church then yeah it's prob a legimate bitch, but if it's the pastor then who cares? Is the pastor himself tax exempt too or just the church? |

Dauss has been bitter since the priest wouldn't molest him like he did the other boys.

Tithes are not always for helping the needy, they are also to pay for building, the bills, and to give the staff paychecks.
