He raised $83k for a app that never came out, his excuse was pretty much that he was in over his head, his donors were okay with that reasoning

I don't know too much about launching an app, but I'd imagine $83k wasnt gon cut it.

Many people feel that pastors represent their congregation and want their pastors to be taken care of. A pastor is aspirational for a congregation in that way. If a congregation is fine with their preacher living in luxury, because they feel it represents them, then that’s entirely on that congregation.

With that said, I come from a denomination where the *priest’s* salary is set by the canons (laws) of the Diocese and approved by a governing vestry board. So the priest can’t take it upon himself to pay himself more or to set his own salary. He has no say in his salary at all. It’s already set at a base and every year will get a cost of living adjustment. Interestingly, our priest also presided over a historically wealthy congregation and is a real estate development CEO himself. So yes, he drives foreigns and lives in a mansion in Obama’s neighborhood but his money comes from his business not from his salary as Priest and the mansion is owned by the church. Once he retires, he has to leave the mansion and the new priest will take up residency. I sat on the board of my own church and helped set budgets and know the salary that was allocated to the Priest and although in the six figures (after 30+ years of tenure) it was not enough to maintain an expensive lifestyle.

The problem that you see is that many black pastors, especially mega church pastors, start churches not within denominational structures. So there is no denominational oversight or hierarchy that is providing oversight. A lot of these pastors churches are their businesses. And with that, they are basically CEO, have a lot of power, and can do what they want, like set their own salaries. That’s where people feel that they may be taking advantage. But when your church is not part of a denominational structure or have to adhere to the laws of a denomination then that’s what you get, a church that has no top oversight where all the power is centralized in the hands of the pastor. If people don’t like that, they need to switch to churches within legitimate Christian denominations that dictate the policies of how they are ran.

That's the Problem with Creflo and them and that's the problem with Tariq but if the church members are OK with it then I can have my reservations but I can't be that mad. I also went to a "independent" Black Church and I found that church owned real estate was controlled by the pastor ( who did rent it out below cost to elderly people) and the vast majority of people didn't tithe, It was estimated that only 10% of the congregation actually kicked in the their 10% even I didn't kick in my full 10%.

Again, his customers seem pleased. Ppl spend money on dumb shyt everyday. So what?

Ppl spend money on dumb shyt everyday, yea they do and they get what they bought, those who donated aren't getting a museum

Cool, if you gave a relative $83k for a business venture, and they came back and said sorry fam it just didn’t work, you’d be okay with that? Would you give them more money?

Tell it to the ppl still stuck in the country you fled while you safely ensconced in the arms of the wm.

Nope, that's why *I* dont donate to his campaigns.

Yes and no. There's random apps made everyday, but making an alternative to Facebook? Not with 83K

That being said BlackMans Travels is developing an app now too, If they think they can make something that will compete with facebook and whatsapp I don't think they'll be successful.

 

[FeverPitch2]

I have no idea I’m not his accountant, maybe he’s really moving units like that.

i do know he has at least two Bentley’s (which he’s recently deleted from his IG) and stays on vacation abroad. He moves like a pastor

All you're saying is that you're mad that he's got money.
You're not actually making a point.

 

[HarlemHottie]

As I said, I wish you good luck & good health

I wish the same for the ppl in the country you fled, no jokes, dead ass serious.

 

[Black Bolt]

I wish the same for the ppl in the country you fled, no jokes, dead ass serious.

And for your country too , the anti blackness there is no joke. Has some of the black folk running around with colonised minds

activists shouldnt be getting money like this.

fwiw, I don’t believe tariq is a true activist, he just cosplays one for low self esteem having black folk

 

[HarlemHottie]

And in your country too, anti blackness is global

If you really felt that way, you'd respect our newfound sense of self determination along the path to freedom. Instead, you're interjecting yourself into a conversation in which you have no business...

while also contributing to a brain drain that is crippling black countries worldwide.

So, no, I dont believe you and please keep your 'wishes'. Its bad luck for ppl who don't like you to be praying over you.

What does your opinion of his activism that have to do with the money that he makes from his books, films, appearances, and lectures which he's been doing for 20 or so years now?
