All churches have hidden wealth. They are not obligated to disclose how much money is donated.
Those who preach on television are millionaires or more.
Yet, you rarely hear that disclosed. Live in mansions better than most world leaders. Yet, they show starving people they know that because of political ramafications could never deliver to them ask for donations to help the starving people. Religion is big buiness. Don't kid yourself. If you don't like it don't donate.
If you want to help poor people give it to them directly.

And what would advertising the land, artwork and manuscripts to non-public creditors particularly benefit? there's a clarification why societies fee museums and libraries - they are not approximately gathering wealth yet keeping awareness and offering thought. and whether it have been achievable to sell each thing, the money does no longer even start to be a drop interior the bucket in international poverty.

It just WOULDN'T have come from ME because I am smart enough to stay away from church and I have known for YEARS that churches are corrupt and they swindle money and they do all the things they tell the world not to do.
Bottom line - DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN CHURCH.

I would be thankful that other people have better lives and not be jealous and go about with my own business because it's pointless and annoying if people stick on everyones businesses esp. when I have nothing to contribute in it.
