    you should check out The Salvation Army

    They're Christian and ALMOST EVERYTHING they do is to help people in trouble.

    They REALLY practice what they preach. Nothing fancy for their leaders - - just giving out food and clothes wherever it's needed.

      Seconded and they don't extort money from people either. The SA really does help the needy.
      So what happens to all the money that the big churches make? Nowadays churches are big businesses.

    PEOPLE are greedy. Churches are run by people, ergo Churches can be greedy just like any other business run by people.

    I agree with everyone here, I am a born again Christian, and do not attend church, but serve My Saviour privatelly at home. REASON, BECAUSE CHURCHES ARE NOTHING BUT PHONY AND POCKET THE DONATIONS AND NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE DESGINATED TO DO.

    I think tons of ppl think churches take their money but think about it ... Not only do they need to pay water bill .. AC bill or heater and other stuff to keep us comfortable .. I mean not the main purpose, but also they help tons of ppl too... :p idk that's how I see it ..

    Seconded. Practice what you preach outside the church. Help whoever needs it. You very rarely hear of any good works done by the church concerning the poor, though they are always asking for money to help them. Is their help so discrete that no one sees it?

    ^ it's in the story description charliesmom..

    Anyway... I think if people want to help they should help in their own time and convenience ... And not always with money.. That is the lazy way out I guess u could say. ( not always) but to be imposed on like that I think is not right.

    Depends on what they do with it. I was a Baptist for 17 years. All they did was build bigger churches. But it is all about money. I'm very turned off by organized religion.

    Unfortunately, I believe you are right. One of the large churches in my area audits their members to make sure they tithe 10% of their income.
