$600,000 a Week?
Lakewood church and Pastor Joel Osteen got ripped off on Sunday night for the approximately $600,000 in the church’s safe that was taken in on Sunday. I dunno know if my math is correct, but that means they bring in about $32 million a year just on Sundays. Tax free.
Bubba Jr calls Lakewood, which meets in Houston’s old basketball arena, “Six Flags Over Jesus.”
Osteen makes even more money with books, trinkets, and assorted whatnots.
Ain’t it time to tax churches?
