So in summary - wiccan "ministers" are hypocrites, liars and now beggars.

No wonder they are regarded as such a joke.

I think we can finish this thread right here.

You took that one too far. I suppose anybody, religious or not, can be hypocrites, liars, and beggars. Not just wiccans and British.

You are the only one laughing... Well, maybe Pensacola is too, but he laughs at everything.

Sounds like pretty much every Protestant minister that I ever met. Maybe the Wiccans are modeling after them.

P.S.: My apologies to those of you who would like to have seen this be a civil and serious thread but it seems that ship has sailed.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

Considering every Christian denomination accepts donations to provide for their churches and their clergy to have a more comfortable life as well as provide more for the congregation to experience...

Hmmm....Then from what Gary just said there, then like you said that would pretty much make 'Chrisitan clergy' beggers as well...

I think everyone here has heard enough news stories about Christian clergy that misuse funds, don't follow what they preach, or commit other atrocious acts. Yet nobody here, especially those of a Pagan path, would paint all Christian clergy or followers with the same broad brush Gary likes to use on non-Christian people.

If there are real classic big bad preachers, one should look no further than men like Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, and others who would fleece the flock. Talk about those and some others flaunting the IRS.

Then we have flamboyant preachers like the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jackson, and even Obama's former preacher, Jeremiah Wright.

I think the greatest thing a minister can do, Tigerwiccan, is to be a living example of your religion.
