Apostle(HIM)

The pastor of your local church. The one that stands on the pulpit in front of you every Sunday. He’s the biggest scam victim and that’s why you argue this. This is how a church works.. they plant a new branch and pick an overzealous man with charisma to lead it. He raises the building from his pocket, gathers the members, collect their tithe and offerings, removes necessities and sends it to the higher ups and they’ll do the same till it’s back in the General Overseer’s pocket. When times are tough, he’ll reach into his own pocket to keep the church afloat. His life is the church and his wife and children only get whatever time or money is left. Maybe he does it cause he believes so much. I can’t say. I doubt it tho. I believe he does it cause he’s been told by said higher ups he’s been called by God.. and he’s told everyone same…he’s not gonna let that supernatural calling fail. The sunk cost allows him to delude himself to any and all extents to keep the members in the church. He is now making some success but a new target has come from the zonal headquarters and he also has to keep this hard-work, and members he’s gathered from dwindling…. He’s only human after all, so he keeps giving, and building and growing until he eventually looses sight of why he joined the church. All that matters now is the vision and mission of the organization. His core members(the church workers) would follow him too and somewhere along the line, fellowship becomes less important than the organization’s targets. If you need spiritual balance, you have a better chance finding it at home than at some building. If you need community, gather like minded friends. Any church where the money flows upward and the accountability for how that money is spent doesn’t flow downwards, it’s safe to assume it’s just another scamming business and stay clear.
