I attend Hill Country Bible Church which is a non denominal Christian Church. When I lived in Los Angeles I attended Fellowship Monrovia which is also a non denominational Christian Church.
Cool!

WOW, not only is that a wonderful story, but that's a SHITLOAD of money! Good for your neighbors & friends. Very heartwarming story. And you're dead on about the cult being a money-grubbing corporation. They have no heart; your story confirms that most humans DO have heart. Thanks for sharing!
I still don't get it.
Not to be an argumentative prick, but that's not really a lot of money. With 1000+ parishioners its really just short of 300 bucks head on average. If that church was smart, it would buy the debt from the creditors for pennies on the dollar and absolve it. A quarter-million-dollars then can be leveraged to clear nearly 2 million in debt. That is the economy of scale that can be leveraged from communal funds.
Also, I work for incredibly wealthy people, so I am biased. I legitimately spend a shitload of their money on a monthly basis and they rarely blink an eye... and its hardly anything when compared to the money they rake in.
Thanks for this wonderful thread, Dean

no comment?
anyone?
ok i will bite. LRH was a con man. crisschins don't condone con men. Well, reall crisschins; televangelists excepted. But as Phil Robertson said, it is fer Gawd to decide.
well you can't prove hubbard was a con man by me as i was never conned by him
i was challenged to examine his work and i did
i bought courses which were delivered as advertised and i received benefit which has continued to be of use for more than forty years
i refer all christians reading here to the ninth of the ten commandments and stae i am not going to bear any false witness against the man and i suggest serious christians hould consider whethr they might be accepting as true false witness against l ron hubbard as true
i also refer christians to his parting address, Mission Earth, which has a strong elegantly understated underlying theme and constitutes ron's confession
the piece is ron's fictionalized autobiography and though it overflows with gross pulp fictio flaws, it is also magnificently deft in it's virtues. begin by understanding he uses as a literary device thre alter egos; heller, gris and penwell...
