Texas church to give away millions in prizes


Posted: Apr 3, 2010

Hope the IRS is checking on this church's "non-profit" status!   I know he claims this was all donated to them, but 16 cars, including a BMW?  Seems to me it would have been better to raise $4 million in cash and give it to the poor for things like food and clothing, medications, keeping their homes, etc.

that no one is going to attend just for the prizes, he is terribly naive. You are right, nothing like encouraging the money-grubbing mindset this country has found itself in. If this guy is persuasive enough to talk people out of $4 million in prizes, he should be able to get them to ante up to donate MONEY to actually help PEOPLE IN NEED.
