This is why a lot of people on the-coli need to free them selves from mental shackles and actually think for themselves. Especially since most people here are black (or I would hope so) and realize that the same way they look at church as crooks, is the same way white people classify us as scum of the earth. Maybe 10% or so of black people are scum, ratchet, in prison no good, but you would believe that every-single-black-man are animals.
I know this is the internet though and in the microcosm which is the-coli...most earn 6 figures, most have it certs, most think all women are whores, most hate black women, most are atheists, most think nas lost, etc etc etc etc
Of course all megas aint bad, but just as a human being, once you get that kind of money flowing it has to be awfully hard to not floss or get caught up.
one of my wife and I's high school friends went to school at the ITC (Interdenominational Theological Center) out at the AUC after he got his bachelor's so that he could become an preacher (his grandfather was a big AME preacher back where we lived in SC). The stories he had about the fukkery (LITERALLY) going on at that school with both male and female students studying to become preachers was rediculous.
I do think the majority of preachers are doing and start out wanting to do the right thing, but the money can fukk you up.
The thing I always ask myself though when looking at these affluent pastors is, and I'm not trying to be funny, "What would Jesus Do???"
I doubt VERY seriously he would be rolling around in a bentley and having his church members struggling. I doubt he'd have a million dollar house(s) with homeless people everywhere, etc. This is why I personally can't get with a mega church.
