Southern Mega-Church Refuses to Hand Over Financial Documents
Posted by Gian on December 7th, 2007
The best part is the minister’s name: Creflo Dollars. With a name like Dollars, you know he has to be hiding something. In order to prove and maintain a church’s tax-exempt status, they are required to turn over financial documents proving the donations they receive are used to support lavish lifestyles.
I think it is so ridiculous that churches have tax-exempt status. Way too many use the pulpit for political and personal gain. Think of how much additional government money would come from taxing churches. The money could be used to support low income and homeless people. Things the churches should be doing, rather than creating multi-millionaires. What ever happened to the vow of poverty? I love how this specific ministry preaches that god wants people to have the best in life… yet the majority of these churche’s attendees are impoverished. Maybe they should edit their mission statement to read that they want their ministers to have the best at the hand of the poor.
