I don't blame them. Being a 'pastor' is the best gig going!! The 'church' pays for your house, your food, vacation, your kids college tuition, etc..
and you 'work' one or two hours, ONE day a week. Its better than welfare.
If you are smart, you can REALLY make it pay.
All you have to do is convince a bunch of folks that the pastor and his family are the modern day
tribe of Levi and should get 10% of everyone else's wages.
Serves the folks right for not reading their Bible themselves to learn the truth of it. (I Peter 2:9) lol
