You won't be getting any of that either, numbnuts.
Meanwhile, all mega-churches in particular are a bunch of phony shills who could not survive if they actually sought to serve the truth. It's not like many small churches are any better, but the big ones do take the cake.

I agree about religion being a joke. However, any church that doesn't release a full financial statement every year and make its leaders salaries public is a special breed of scam. Solomon and his family profited off his parishioners for years, and the guy who succeed him is doing the same.

What're the typical franchise fees on one of the larger chain megachurches?
It seems like the principals in many of the larger franchises do fairly well.
Do the franchises compete for star performers in the market?
Are there big money agents involved in contract negotiations?
Does free agency exist for any of the star performers?
At higher levels, does a criminal past garner big-dollar contracts?
Ostensibly, these franchises are not obigated to pay taxes, yet they have huge weekly gatherings and they pull in massive gates! How is it possible?
Depending on the franchise fee and franchise agreements, could such an investmnt provide decent returns?
Can anyone recommend a megachurch franchise for novice franchisor?

MBC is one of the most outwardly looking churches around, using their resources to help those in the DC community, and around the world. Platt came on board and took zero salary for the job (he already gets enough revenue from books and other ministries). Solomon also is the real deal legitimate in it for the ministry, not money, pastors.
There's so many mega churches and little church pastors you can point at as milking believers out of money for their own riches, but MBC definitely isn't one of them.
