But these preachers live outside the tax laws, get huge allowances for living expenses and pay little to no expense out of pocket. I was shocked when I was on the board of my church and discovered that a minister for a 500 or so congregation was given a compensation package of, when all tolled, about $175k. And most of it was tax free. It's a sham WOW...

And then they give cover to people who act ruthlessly in the market place by allowing them to tithe their way into the heart of god. If RW is different, then I stand corrected. But to me, most of these entrepreneurial preachers are living and enjoying the abundant life without contributing all that much to the greater good through taxes.
