So doesn't it really matter what opinions they have, follow the $$$$$.
Tuesday thru Saturday they practice the Sunday Sermon that's important big time, all about the delivery = the Donations = the Life Style = Living Large.
Monday's ? Rest the vocal chords.

I am not the person to preach to anyone. I happen to like and love a lot of friends who seek and find comfort in churches of every kind. I find their piety honest and their efforts to follow Christian teachings endearing. I am pleased that their use of the ten commandments helps keep the entire world heading in a good direction.
I don't think any of them support tele-evangelists or any other showmen. I don't know of any who say that their priest or pastor has the big house and fancy car. Churches have bills. Bills need to be paid. Many outreach programs churches have to help the truly needy (and some sneaky not so needy) have to be funded.
I don't like for people to diss others for practicing their religion that does no harm and much good. I worry about anyone giving money to anyone for almost any causes. I absolutely loathe go fund me's. I mistrust every parking lot beggar and freeway exit bandit.
BUT....All this flippant criticism for those who put their buck in when they pass the plate is a bit much for even me the tight person.
It is wise to be careful with your money. Always. Very careful. But there are many, many, many good communities that worship God together.
