ACA??? please... that stopped being decent journalism and is now on a par with TT which does reports on 'free energy machines' and the like.

Hillsong gets press like this because it is big - the biggest in australia and because its musice division is the biggest in the world. Did you know that Hillsong has more gold albums than any australian performer in history? And of corses there is all that 'feed the poor' stuff that never gets mentioned.

if you want to know where their money goes then ask for their financial reports. They are actually available. Try that with most other multi-million dollar companies.

So if i give a few cents to the poor and then make a song that tops the charts and makes a lot of money i shouldn't have to pay tax either?

that's right attack the messenger as usual.

did you actual watch it ? Of course you wouldn't because you might have actually seen some poor homeless people that are being fed by anyone other than HillSux. Isnlt that what a church is supposed to do and not just keep collecting money and stash it away in a bottomless pit fior no benefit to anyone else except themeselves Sad

You know those homeless that walk the street that you never see at HillSux church raising there arms and giving money ?

true they do spend a LITTLE bit of money on outreach programs. not nearly as much as the catholic church i might add.i dont like prosperity christianity and consider it a heresy.
there is also the churn factor with hillsong, they do tend to churn people through as true believers followed by truely disenchanted.
are they an evil organisation...not really, no more evil then the public service which pretends to be serving the public but is actually serving its own intersts.

and at least donating to hillsong is voluntary, unlike our political "hillsongs" who would jail you if you dont cough up for their evil programs Wink

hillsong: 40,000 members. Catholic Church: 1B members.

as for the rest... it's just made-up nonsense

where did you pull those figures from, the streetvans that serve the homeless in the cbd of brisbane are nearly all run by the salvos and st vinnies.
i would also add the 7th day adventists are pretty good and will provide free weet bix and so good to any poor people turning up at their factory in brisbane.

hillsong target young disillusioned teenagers , this seems more a recruiting drive than anything.
i havent heard of them under the story bridge with the cask wine and metho drinkers.

i havent seen a lot od cask wine and metho drinkers at their services either.
they seem to be extremely well groomed and dripping in jewelry.

and attaching cinemas, day cares and coffee shops to your mega church.

are they a religious organization or are they an offshoot of westfield Wink

then you are clearly quite uninformed. in fact, it seems that most of your posts on this topic are nothing more than you opinion based on a few articles and a few stray comments from people. Fact is, Hillsong and the like do a great deal of social welfare but even then, that is not the point. Where do you get off criticising a church because it doesnt do as much as another?

most of your posts are dopey and this is no exception.

well no,
1 you dont know what i do Wink

2 i pay 100's of 1000's in tax which mite help some of the poor. i'd imagine brian houston and his barbie doll wife earn about the same but pay virtually nothing Wink

3 hillsong should recieve a tax deduction for their charitable works (fully documented).
if brian wants to be a motivational speaker and preach "prosperity christianity' (a heresy that says god has blessed the rich and wants them to be richer still), he is operating outside of a reliogion and should be fully taxed on his earnings from sales of cd's etc etc.

please document their spend on charities and their total income.
you do know brian's father in new zealand is in jail.
do you deny that brian owns a lot of real estate and please tell me how much realestate jesus aquired in jerusalem back in ad 30 (when he wasnt driving the money makers out of his temple) Wink

" ... revelations that senior pastors of the Hillsong mega-church and their families are enjoying lavish lifestyles virtually tax-free.

"Critics say Hillsong - which makes millions by routinely demanding its followers hand over at least 10 per cent of their salaries for the church coffers - exploits tax exemptions designed to help small, struggling churches."
