I am a former bookkeeper from our small town mega church. I was fired after insisting that pastor's daughter turn in receipts for over 5k in credit card purchases. My eyes were opened to the corruption, bit by bit. I didn't want to believe it, but I was fooled by the pastor I had loved. So many of these videos have opened my eyes to all the false teachings I have believed over the years, assuming my pastor was knowledgeable and had a heart for God. Turns out he was just in it for his and his own family's comfort. Every opportunity he had to address sin, his heart hardened and he and his family became more and more wicked, even to the point of turning away my 5 year old from vacation bible school. It hurt deeply, but now I see that God didn't want us to be in a false church. We now have a small group home church and are being spiritually fed. I appreciate these videos and am learning much. Thank you.

I was in police work for many years. My cops all used to say, "If you want to get rich quick, found a church or new religion and people will be throwing money at you." Years later when I worked for a ministry, I found out how true that was. So many people would send in donations. Their prayer requests were all along the lines of "I'm planting a seed. Please ask God to not let anything bad happen to me ever again." It's sad. I got very discouraged and out of the "business" when after taking these $1000 donations from people on Social Security, the pastor spent $80K on a new desk for himself.

The true payoff (and this is hard to say) - is to get the elderly to commit a good portion of their estate or trust when they die. We had one very nice older lady pass a few years ago and she gave $100,000 which helped pay off a 2nd mortgage of the church. Since being involved at my church - I have seen things change since covid. We still have good attendance but we have less stage decoration, less visible church impact and I think more outgoing to the community - which is what I want to see more of. Recent spending on new security gear for the building. But also, there are mission trips planned and in some cases, they are more like vacations than actual work (John Crist kind of has a funny video on that topic). We really have messed up what the intention of religion and following really is supposed to be. I have been to Lakewood and met Joel there. Nice place. It was basically what I said to him "You got a real nice place here".

@@ephraimdennisk9410 Thank you for a civil response. Most of the responses I get are demonic, wherein a Bible quotation is argued to be my interpretation (my enemies proffered an unintended compliment...how wonderful is our Lord). The cardinal rule in hermaneutics is absolute harmony: say there exists 10 Bible passages that address a specific topic. If the interpretation of one passage harmonizes with the other nine, the interpretation is probably correct. Otherwise, either the interpretation is flawed or God is fallible. Take your pick. A pre-tribulation rapture is congruent with all related eschatological verses, such as Jesus' statement, "My people are not appointed to wrath." A post-trib rapture conflicts with Jesus promise, for the seven year period of great tribulation is one of God's wrath. But as our dear Lord warned, no prophecy is of private interpretation. In seminary, I got an A+ on a paper citing many verses that dismantle the myopic mid-trib and pos-trib views, and some my professors authored text books on Hebrew and Greek lexicons. The best scholars were textual critics, theologians that are not only authorities on ancient languages but also qualified historians. But scholarship can be inadequate, for God can enlighten a child to humble a professor as I once painfully learned after graduating.

When they say ‘put god first’ they mean them - that, because they supposedly have a direct connection to a god, they should be treated as special - and of course worthy of all the riches & power that ‘god’ has given them. For this scam to work, someone has to be at the base of the pyramid, giving money and time for free, in the vain hope that, one day, god will reward them,,which cleverly, those at the top tell them not to expect until ‘the afterlife’. Religions only work by establishing an underclass of subservient, unquestioning shills who will ‘put god first, others next (those higher up) and self last.

What Images is On our money today? Certainly not God's. There are many images on our money today. And God is not one of them. There are many graven images on money today, God does not want your money. He wants us to be kind to our neighbors and help the poor.

I had never heard a preacher quote from the OT book of Malachi until the day I joined a Pentecostal church. Neither had I heard an 'offering talk' before the main message. The newly appointed pastor insisted on us tithing 10% of our gross income to his church, quoting Malachi 3:10. He told me to stop giving to other Christian ministries. He bought a new Harley Davidson from church funds for his dad. His father didn't know how to ride a motor bike, so the pastor rode it everywhere. He spent money freely. He took several overseas trips every year, with a fondness for Disneyland. He gave money to bail out his friends' ministries as they were nearly all in financial distress. The church went broke within five years. The building was sold to prevent the lender from foreclosing on the mortgage. The pastor left the country to reside in the US. We were left to deal with the mess he created. It was at that time that I stopped drinking the Koolaid. Men, do not cede control of your lives to pastors. Your first duty is to your own family. If you don't look after them, nobody else will.

I was a very strong "Christian" since childhood for much of my life. But having read the Bible thoroughly I am now very certain that the Bible and Christianity are the biggest and the most successful SCAM ever devised my very powerful men to 1) To control the masses, 2) Maintain their (these men's} power and 3) Enrich themselves. I really feel sorry for all the people who have been and being taken for a big ride by these conmen and women. Now a days I am a very happy Atheist.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul. When you leave this world the only thing you take with you. Is your soul. And Christ will decide where it with God. If money is your God you might want to search your heart.

Most religion is based on the narcissism of those at the top levels of the organisation. When they say ‘put god first’ they mean them - that, because they supposedly have a direct connection to a god, they should be treated as special - and of course worthy of all the riches & power that ‘god’ has given them. For this scam to work, someone has to be at the base of the pyramid, giving money and time for free, in the vain hope that, one day, god will reward them,,which cleverly, those at the top tell them not to expect until ‘the afterlife’. Religions only work by establishing an underclass of subservient, unquestioning shills who will ‘put god first, others next (those higher up) and self last. Isn’t is weird how all the ‘higher ups’ in the hierarchy don’t have to wait till the afterlife to reap the earthly rewards of their religion?

I used to be like them. Without going through the story of how I got out of this mess, I will just say one night God called me out and told me to follow his scriptures instead. I swallowed a bitter pill that night. Altho, I am still a continuist, I am fairly educated in theology and disagree with their teachings. This makes me a reject from either sides. But I will say, the charismatics lack the deep understanding and richness of the word of God that the fundamentalists have.

Giving is a Godly thing to do, and not just in money especially if you dont have money to give. You don’t have to give to your local church a KZbinr, a community center, homeless shelter or love ones in need. But if God puts it on your heart to give in more ways than just money that is between you and God. Glory Hallelujah to our KING. 2 Corinthians 9:7, KJV: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

@The ready writer That has nothing to do with my comment. I'm supporting a wonderful idea and I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Bible but we're also commanded to give to and support God's servants involved in ministry because they're spreading the gospel. Not only that, most missionaries are poor themselves because a good portion of their income goes into the ministry and assisting the poor in the community they're serving. In God's economy, saving souls is the most important thing we can do and support, as saving souls brings eternal life so we should never stop at just feeding the poor and needy. Worst case scenario, we should do both.. It isn't a one or the other type situation.

@The ready writer What?? You're saying that sending financial support to missionaries does more harm than good? Make that make sense, as it's Biblical to do that for God's servants who spread the Gospel. I've known many missionaries as well and they always struggle with a lack of funds, so they have to take time away from the mission field just to try to raise money for the upcoming year. Prayer is first and foremost but if you're discouraging people from supporting missionaries financially, I'm afraid you're wrong.
