You don't remain in most of these churches if you don't present your check stub to the staff. Membership for most of these churches require that you donate to the church.
Pastors receives a salary, it may not be enough to live off of, some are, but it can be a residual income for these pastors.
200k is not a lot of money for the things that have to get done. 30k followers, dude may have more than that, if each gave 5 dollars that's 150k,
5.00 from 20k of his followers, he may have 40k, but if 20k give 5 dollars each week, he'll get it. Yall acting as if people are giving 2000k a pop, if they are, salute to them, they must have it like that.
Niggas buy 3 and 4 chicken sandwiches every week for 5 dollars a pop
Bruh I don't even go to church but i know enough research to know that your 1st sentence is pure bullshit. Your average local church ain't in there requiring a pay stub to attend. Especially given the average person attending church in a black community are women, regardless of single or married most women attend church alone, and older folks on fixed incomes already. Or are they out here checking their youth summer pay stubs in order for them to attend too? That donation can be either money or time and the latter is what most give instead of money. If you're going to shit on the church which im all for because I detest shady preachers who prey on innocent folks at least be accurate and don't just make shit up that's easily disproved.
