    Dude it's donating $1,800,000 to charity ... How is that bad?

    okey dokey...


    You should be able to sit in the front even if you can only afford $1 to donate to charity (or none at all). Fairly simple.

    Wow is all I can say.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    But what if part of the $1.8M goes to helping the person who can only afford $1......everybody wins.

    ever seen pictures of the vatican? like any capitalist system... the money stays at the top.
    probably

    but the money we collected with the tithes were all used for a 15 acre land that we were going to build a church on.

    it wasn't until things got pretty heavy for us in the family that we went through some tough times so my dad resigned. and it was then when those "capitalists" began to appear.

    about two years ago we heard the folks who took over the property and the house where we had church services, began to use it for their own benefit.

    considering where you're coming from, i understand. but sometimes dude... just sometimes, there are humble, faithful and sincere believers who do things justly. cause it was until after then that the headquarters began to speculate corruption within that small area where my father was over.

    ironically, those who were found scheming each other and the church were the one's who spoke "ill" of my father. you know, the same ol' hypocritcal and judgemental dudes that many folks, particularly like you, speak out against.

    luckily, we got out in due time. otherwise, who knows. i'd of probably ended up being a dick just like the rest of them. and then i'd be a real bigot saying that "god hates f*gs", or something.
    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.

    i dunno.... didn't mean it as an offense. i'm just saying it probably is an honor to a jew as opposed to someone who isn't a jew.... i mean, isn't that what the article is about?

    $180,000 and all to charity?...not exactly...nice parroting...but stop pissing up my leg already.

    pass the plate for 180 large? Which state?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
