Preachers of L.A. Trailer: Coming This Fall - YouTube

I guess the Atlanta Preachers were smart enough to turn this one down....for now.

It's funny. I know rich and "poor" people.

Poor people always assume that rich people got their $$$ illegitimately (especially rich ministers). And then rich people always assume poor / middle class folks are too lazy to do what it takes to become rich, esp so that they can teach it to their kids.

**Both are assumptions that could ultimately be wrong, or right, depending on the person. Plenty of rich people (even pastors) got their $$$ legitimately, but of course some didn't. Not calling out any guys in this video because I have no proof either way, just like y'all don't.

And saying the pastor should not have a "better" lifestyle than his members is c-r-a-z-y. What if the pastor is a 'go getter' businessman and he has several lazy members and don't work a lot?

My pastor gets like $15-20 million off books sells. He's not gonna drive a 1995 Corolla, I think he has a 2-3 year old Lexus. He gives millions (way more than 10%) to the church. Who cares, why hate on him?

Well said Like the "Little Red Hen"or Hard Working Ant stories, when one is the worker they should reap the reward.

Sad to see, but I do believe poor as become a lifestyle of people, some people are becoming proud to be in that status. There will always be poor among us, our government shouldn't be working to provide more of these poor people and encouraging this way of life.
