In response to "I drive by a *huge* church that went up a couple years ago that on it's grounds has a huge house where the minister lives." by Spawn

mostly black baptist, and we do the accounting.

i think most of the parisheners should know exactly how much the church spends, but they dont.

sometimes no one does but the pastor/bishop/whoever.

That's a governance problem in the church, not a problem with it being tax-exempt. -- nm - spamlet Jun 28, 09:26 8
- yes and no, they say a lot "the government doesnt require us to do yearly reporting, so we wont do it, no matter what" its a very common sentiment - Truman Jun 28, 09:31 3
  - Then you are in the wrong church. Ours is fully open for finances and publish the budget and quarterly updates for any member. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:34 2
    - yours is the outlier, not the norm. maybe you havent been to enough to seen that, and i am happy you found that sort of place - Truman Jun 28, 09:37 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 09:40
- do churches have like BoD or BoT? because if only the pastor is making decisions, there *is* no governance. -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 09:27 3
  - depends on the chuch type probably. most baptist groups have deacons, or similar, and have a few "boards" - Truman Jun 28, 09:33
  - They should. Again, that's a problem with governance of the church. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:32 1
    - look, all i think is that they should have to file some sort of informational return. - Truman Jun 28, 09:35
The dude switched to a new caddie *every* year. I honestly wanted to ask him, "Just how dumb are your members?" -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 09:25
