Take note of the last few scores of posts that Tzaph wrote to you.
They are the posts that actually corrected you.
Get hip to that...and you will really be getting somewhere.

Credit goes to Siamese for correctly identifying the glaring inaccuracies in the opening post.
there is no "church" and there are no "parishioners" and there are no "parsonages"

I see them on sale at Walmart, KMart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. Many people buy them, not just Christians. That's probably where a lot of her wealth comes from. Beyond that I don't know. But let's at least start with the facts.

If not, too bad. The abuse has gone on long enough.

The relevant point is not what her homes are called, but the fact that she pays no property taxes on her 5 homes, as they are owned by her non-profit ministry.

If the homes are called parsonages, then I, and perhaps others, have a picture in our heads of poor folks in an alleged "church", headed by Pastor Meyer, passing the offering plate to afford Ms. Meyer these homes. That is not the case. Words mean things.

First of all, she's no pastor. Women are prohibited in Scripture from being pastors. She is what I'd call a "Pastrix", and a bad, money-grubbing televangelist one at that. She shouldn't have 1 parsonage much less 5.
And yes--there are people condemning her for it and calling her out on her sin if you only take the time to look.

You occasionally show you do have a voice of reason. It would be great if you showed it more often. For some, it is a longer journey than others.

It made me smile.
The part I put in bold is funny!!
And Vizio, good one re "money-grubbing televangelist".
