Eric, You need to research your stories better. You sound foolish talking about the televangilists non-compliance.

And as for Senator Grassley, He's the one that introduced the legislation that congress cannot ask for church nor non-profit financial records directly but must go through the IRS to recieve that information. The reason being: if the records go directly to congress then every contributer's personal information becomes public record. That legislation passed with flying colors back in the eighties.

I, for one, do not want my personal tax deductions or name address, nor amounts of my donations to ANY Non-profit made public. Including boy-scouts, red-cross, or the NAACP.

He asked for the records in an illegal way. He should have gone through the IRS to recieve the records, then there would have been no trouble with compliance.

I actually am a part of a Mega-Church that has an Angel Food Outreach. We feed over needy 100 families every 2 weeks with free angel food boxes. My husband was laid off for over 4 months last year and our mega-church helped us pay bills, gave us angel food boxes, and was there for us. But we weren't the only ones. A lot of people were hit with hard times in our area. My own family who talk about mega churches like you guys have wouldn't even lift a hand to help us. They just kept sniping about, "Where's Your Faith?"

Have you ever heard the old addage many hands make light work. One or two people couldn't have helped us and all those other families out of the financial pit we were in. But our mega church members, compelled by love did.

And now we are in the position to help others. And through our Mega Church we will do it.

By-the-way, Mega Churches were the first to get help to Hurricain Katrina Survivors and the last to leave. Not the Red Cross or FEMA.

THANK GOD FOR MEGA CHURCHES AND ANGEL FOOD.
