I didn't want him to be eaten by locusts. I wanted to see him tied into a Stryker frame, flipped front to back on a schedule, while simultaneously relying on a noisy, cantankerous ventilator to carry oxygen to his rapidly-dying lungs before he perished in pain and agony.
I read and collect Western novels. I'd like to see the asshole stripped naked, covered in honey, and staked to an ant hill. I have Souix, Cherokee, Navajo, and Comanche in my veins.
That reminds me of an old movie -- "A Man Called Horse."
I'd be down for that.....if we could use fire ants from our yard to populate said ant hill. And cheap honey -- not Tupelo honey. That stuff is too fucking good (and expensive) to waste.
You know where to find churches? On the Republican sex Offender registry and those who enable it. The Mormans and Catholics paying billions. The registry is long but your mouth will drop open because of the depravity if people you know
Not one megachurch worth millions of dollars collecting from their parishioners donated a thin Penny to the hurricane five states were affected it's time to tax these mega churches they are a business
Scientology has millions maybe billions. Their members are indentured servants to the cult and are paid $47/week. They live on the church grounds and work…they traffick humans and children. They bilk every dime of their parishioners money even taking out credit cards in their name.
Aww,absolutely adorable bless you, I hope you're having a lovely Winter Solstice and warmest wishes for the new year blessed be to you with all my heart ❤️ 🧚♀️✨️...
ESPECIALLY mega-churches. I've been to several smaller congregations that do more of the Jesus stuff -- food pantries, clothing closets, visiting the housebound, etc. -- but megachurches are another animal entirely.
Mega churches for sure, simply for operational costs hiding true profit margins, but even on a smaller scale modern franchise churches. I grew up w/ traditional churches. Having worked in some of the smaller modern churches, they have office staff there conduction 9-5 church business like any other
The problem happens when the business side of things overtakes the people part.....when putting butts in the seats so the offering is larger matters more than being compassionate or meeting the needs of those attending the church....when the pastor's salary is undisclosed & he has no accountability.
You can't just throw open the doors an hour before service & have things run smoothly. The choir needs to practice. The music leader needs to communicate with the head pastor. The facility needs to be cleaned & maintained. Supplies need to be stocked. There's nothing wrong with a business office.
There are certain logistical things that need to be carried out during business hours. Bulletins, financial matters requiring an accountant, communication, maintenance, repairs, scheduling, counseling, support groups, food pantries, daycare centers, and more require staff and facility availability.
Here's the problem: Dipshit Donnie cut IRS funding by 18% the last time he was in office. This cut resulted in a loss of enforcement personnel, which was exactly his goal. As a result, the IRS doesn't have the staff necessary to investigate complaints of churches engaging in political activity.
He was just getting started last time. This time around it will be MUCH worse. I doubt most of us have any idea how bad it will get. I have an inkling, and that's more than a lot of people. Fascism run by oligarchs isn't a walk in the park.
I agree wholeheartedly! I feel like I’m one of the only people to realize how catastrophic this could all be. I’m grateful to see other countries standing up to him. If only our leaders could.
We still have a voice. Support/volunteer organizations who have defended against him successfully in the past such as the ACLU and Indivisible. Call on your governor and mayor to use their power to defend democracy and let your Congress people know you are watching them.
I am so sick and tired of these asswipes making fortunes preying on gullible people. It is a business and it should be taxed. Wake the duck up America.
There's enough money in the Vatican to wipe out world hunger! The impossible ultra-religious are truly psychotic. Poor @real Jesus. One hopes he has other planets.
It is indefensible why churches do not get taxed. I would like anyone try and explain it to me.
By the way: whatever they spend on charities will still be deductible.
It is the part they do not spend on charities that bothers me.
Most larger churches spend very little on charity. Hell, they don't even want to help their own members unless they are willing to submit a spending record, take a financial management class, sign a contract promising to pay their tithes and offerings, and follow a budget designed for suffering.
A real church serves the community with all of its resources leaving no profits. And the members of the church do not skim the resources intended for the community before calculating the profits. Nonprofits mean no taxes. So churches should not have any problem with losing tax exemptions.
I attended maybe 4 churches over a period of 48 years that actually did what they said they were going to do with excess funds.....feed the hungry, help those in need, and support missionaries in foreign countries. None of them had more than 100 members. Two had less than 50.
it isn't a church!!! BUT IT IS A TAX ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT...
just watch when dickhead starts running low on funding and he discovers how much he can squeeze from your pedophile christian congregation-
THEN YOU FUCKERS WILL SEE THE LIGHT.
amen. go fuck yourselves.
Call Joel Osteen Ministry and ask for a free resource or a free prayer-- You will find he has nothing free, and you will be asked at least 5 times for money!
A regulatory process for #FBOs n #Nonprofitfaithcommunities. But must ensure #NoFearOrFavor applies equally for the poor little neighborhood synagogue, Buddhist temple, Islam mosque n ELCA church serving homeless
migrants LBGT community doesn’t get the fascist shaft.
I recently read the Joel Osteen lives in a $12million home, had a custom garage built for his 20 rare cars. Not too many priests or pastors that I know of can say that.

If there truly were a god, Trump would have been eaten by locusts during covid.
Hypothetically, of course.

Priests should not be wealthy in any way.

Yikes!
Worshipping the Republican penis and it's results beit a law suit or anchor baby, is NOT penis envy.
It's narcissism.
Manufacturing costs are minimal.
Mega-churches are entertainment venues and should be taxed accordingly.
Spotlight Operators ain’t there for the “religion.”
They pay far fewer people than you think.
Most of them are "volunteers" coerced into giving their time as a way of demonstrating their faithfulness.
BTDT.
Churches will hire my Union for big Load-Ins, like “Christian Rock,” etc. It’s a business.

Me either.
The whole reason for going into business is to MAKE A PROFIT.
Mega churches are raking in massive profits!

Criuse and Sceintlogy saga? Still on?

Mega-churches that have their own cable TV channel. There's definitely no viewership or ad revenue right?? That's all non-profit right?
Don't forget to tithe (aka church tax) while you're here!
