TEMPLATE OF A ‘FOR PROFIT’ BUSINESS CALLED – CHURCH

1. Instead of calling it ‘tithes and offering’,
let’s call it weekly investments and have
profit sharing based on how much you
invest.

2. Instead of saying the ‘church owns this
and that property’, it becomes, ‘WE’ own
this and that property and even if we leave
the particular church, our ‘investment’ is
intact and can be sold to someone or
cashed in.

3. Instead of having a ‘general overseer who
collects’ from a conglomerate of companies,
sorry churches, we will have an MD and
respective fund and project managers who
manage our portfolio of investments and
they can be removed for non-performance.

4. Instead of questioning ‘where all the
money raised truly went’, we would all have
access and a part to play in where the
money really goes.

5. Instead of having ‘ridiculous money lines
for healing’, we can all contribute to a fund
that will create financial miracles for those
who need to pay for expensive procedures
to save their lives. The in house and
outdoor miraculous healings will be free.
6. Instead of pastor being ‘the only one
driving around in the ‘gift’’ every exorbitant
gift is sold and re-invested so that ‘ALL’ can
partake.

7. Instead of ‘bodyguards’, surround the
pastors that feel their lives are being
threatened, with children, trust me, no one
wants to harm children,

8. Instead of building a school that ‘those
who have contributed to the fund cannot
afford to send their children to’, set it up in
such a way that members and contributors
pay a bare minimum and non-members help
to subsidize it, or better still, these
conglomerates have enough money that they
can afford to pay the teachers and maintain
the schools with ease without asking for
fees.

9. Instead of building ‘humongous elaborate
edifices’, how about using that money to
send some of our brighter ones to the best
schools, training them to be real leaders, not
just deacons and associate pastors in the
confines of the church, and then shooting
them into the world as arrows for CHRIST.
They cannot be denied access, because they
are qualified, they will be part of the law
making process so that we can effect for a
morally balanced society in regulating what
is shown on TV, what affects our children,
corruption et al. (it will be money well spent,
though it may start totally being effective
with our grandchildren, but still better than
the alternative, those buildings will be old
fashioned, burnt or even destroyed by then)

10. Instead of pastors claiming that ‘they
have been called’ and therefore must make
all decisions and have autonomy, people
can take back their investments from such
and shop for a better setting, or shall I say
‘soil’

11. Instead of that ‘puny over priced private
jet’, we could go for a bigger and more
practical 737 or something, so we can take
a team of evangelists to those hard to
pronounce places pastor talks about
needing evangelism and he needs the luxury
of a PJ for.
This is an unfortunate burlesque…
