Actually, if these CEO’s were taking in that kind of money for a regular business they would be grossly underpaid. I am sure there are a few of them that get the jet as a status symbol, but as much as some of them travel it could be both practical and economical to have their own jet.

Your tag name says it all!

Therefore,I can only assume that your are joking!!

I could certainly picture the uproar from the "sheep," in every Catholic church with the size of 5K membership if their pastors were driving Mercedes/Bentley or similar status cars, having their own Lear Jets with 2 full time pilots and living in "mansions" paid for by the "flock"!!!

Do you have any idea of the salary of a catholic priest???

Do you have any idea of the opulence that exists in the Vatican?

Some of these people travel full time. Perhaps it makes sense to have their own plane and perhaps it doesn’t. Don’t give to that church if you think its a waste. Its really that simple. Nobody is forcing you to give money to these churches. The state forces you to give it money and then wastes it at a much higher scale.

The vast majority of these evangelists are very good people who manage the resources they have very well. The church will police itself and needs no help from government.
