this site has some interesting stuff on it also...
I think I was a regular member of a small pentecostal church in texas when this began to grow...
I also think that there is another aspect to it, although I really don't have any proof.
the thought always came to me while I was in that church....
if you want to become rich, then devout all you wealth to god, deal only with those "God" desires you to....(keep christian wealth within the
christian community, in other words) I wouldn't be surprised if they are somehow doing this, and well all that "faith-based" charity what little
there is of it is being distributed under some such philosophy. give it to those whom "God" would desire to have it....in other words, those who
believe like us!!!
If I went a little further into the little "voice" that kept trying to lure me with wealth, and describe some dreams, and well, maybe you would
understand why I have this hunch, more than likely you would think that I'm nuts. But, well, I think this group has been gathering alot of wealth
throghout the past couple decades and passing around amounst themselves...
ya know, like the senator does his little voodoo dance, get the government to give the guy a few hundred million for whatever, the guy then goes out
and hires just his buddies, the whatever is a non-profit group that then commences to help other buddies......all, of course have the right values and
beliefs.
but again, this is still just a hunch, based on what most would consider insanity...so....
