If only all the Protestants knew how their pastor was getting rich off their tithing.

28 Years of Ministry Destroyed In Just 20 Minutes

This happened in one of the largest and fastest growing churches in Orlando, Florida. Services were packed out every week - standing room only. Miracles were taking place [yeah, right] and members loved their pastor. The Board of Trustees said they would always be with him through thick and thin.

One sunny day, the pastor called his secretary to ask her for a telephone number that he had left on his desk. When Kathy walked into his office to retrieve the number, she saw a sheet of paper that had everyone's salary and housing allowance listed. Kathy shared the information she had stumbled upon with the other office workers. They decided to make a copy of the information, as well as the pastor's giving record. When Sunday morning came around, three women went through the parking lot and placed the confidential information on the windshield of every car.

On Monday morning, the church telephone began to ring; members were very upset. Attendance immediately began to drop. The IRS was called in. The churh lost over 1,800 members, 1/3 of its original size.
