That is much more clever than saying: "If you are stupid, please send me your name and street address."
Most everything now a day is a hustle, con, rip-off, half true, or scam. Greed seems to freed everything. Where are the character building shows like The Andy Griffith Show? Churches seem to be drying up & avarice is taking over. GOD helps our kids & Grandkids.
Hey, wait a minute! The sample from Brooklyn (one assumes NY, not MS) in the Google fraud article offered $50. Where's the other $30? Dumb *AND* cheep are a really bad combination.
9:00am says "churches seem to be drying up..."
Really? Everywhere I look I see another huge church being built.
Everyone I meet tells me to "have a blessed day."
The church parking lots are packed on Sundays and Wednesday nights.
How much more church do you want? The problem isn't the lack of church. Instead it's the people that attend the churches aren't listening. But that's not a new thing.
My point exactly PithPhanther. Every church has a building project with the express GOAL “Make it Bigger to bring in the bucks”. This is all on borrowed money. More Avarice. Another examples; To use the internet you need to pay for an internet provider, rent/buy a cable modem, rent / buy a wifi router, and have laptop, tablet or desk pc to view the internet on. Then pay for some operating system (Mac or Windows), internet browser (Edge or Safari), virus protection software, and cloud data storage. “And what do you get for such an expensive setup? “ Web pages that send you spam, malware, popups, redirect pages, & blogs that collect your ip address, & other info so you can’t really stay totally anonymous. Money pushes everything. Money pushes most people to go to college, marry well, & have high dollar friends. Money pushes most people to attended big churches with big building projects. I attended a Baptist church in Ocean Springs, MS & the size of it was 2000 square feet. I was baptized in the OC bayou. Good times.
Yeah, those bad churches are always grubbing for more money so they can feed poor, provide flood relief, etc. Too bad the churches and Salvation Army can't get out of the way so the postmoderns and atheists can be more effective by demanding that government raise taxes on everyone to provide more bureaucracy that makes us all feel better about providing help rather than by actually helping the poor and disaster victims. We want the appearance to trump reality.
I'd bet a smooth hunnert this guys uncle is a prince in Nigeria who has inherited a huge sum of money and just needs my DOB and social to send it to me. "Trust me this is legit".
Money grubbing churches? My brother is a pastor. He has Masters and Doctoral degrees, 40+ years experience and makes less than 100K per year. I have less education and I make a boatload more money than he does. I work long hours, but my brother works longer hours.
My brother's church raises a lot of money. His church also provides a lot of services for the community they serve and beyond. I suspect the church provides better services and at less cost than the government. Volunteers tend to be more passionate.
