   That is a twisted understanding, most pastors are paid by their local   
   churches, as is their bldgs. And what is inside. the Bible says the workman

   church/

   I heard one of them who lived nearby and was moving to a different area and   
   his truck rolled over with all his goods right in front of my home. He   
   climbed out of that truck screaming and cursing.

   Prove it? You are going by the history of your previous church the RCC, and   
   so you assign their sins to all.
