[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked as a CPA for a very popular mega church who at the time had a very "famous" pastor.  They contracted us out for some work as they grew under this new pastor.  Let me tell you this: these places make MONEY.  Lots and lots of MONEY. Ive served on my own (catholic) parish council so I know about church budgets but these mega churchs' do not even compare.  The pastor/CEO of this operation made a flat 350k and then a percent of the overall "profits". He was easily clearing 1.5 million a year.  And this isn't a pastor/preacher the average person has heard of so Im sure people like Joel Olstein are making 10s of millions. The whole experience made it very clear that they are a business first and the religion is the product. They are driven to get as many people to buy buy buy buy.  [/quote]

+1000 Those of us in the financial services industry who know what these people make....it is really disgusting. Especially knowing that a far amount are low income/elderly parishioners who consistently tithe.[/quote]
