    Not that I know of. I do know of one that receives voluntary donations and distributes its literature free of charge. It is run by volunteers who work secularly to support themselves and runs school programmes, free of charge, in most countries in language and literacy. They are quick to respond to civil disasters such as in Haiti and all relief supplies are donated and all personell including medical, engineers and construction workers are unpaid volunteers.

    The phrase:

    comes to mind.

    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    LDS would probably be close behind since most members are supposed to tithe 10% of their income to the church.

    Surely it is worth joining!

    As a member you must be entitled to a share of the wealth and duly supported (financially) by his goddliness Brian (He is NOT just a naughty boy!) tamaki...

    Surely?

    Or do all of the profits go into the tamaki Swiss Bank Account Fund...

    Destiny - pffft the poor mans City Impact. Those fuckers take 'getting money out of people' to a whole new level.

    now - lets wait for 10bikekid to come and defend them (he only turns up with Shity Impact is mentioned).

    What is so very sad is that people fall for such blatant extortion.

    A large proportion of destinys congregation sits behind bars in prison.
    I know for a fact that "King Brian" takes illegally obtained money from illegal business practices, ie drug money, as membership payment, "gifts" or as tithings.
    He offers his members free legal council, he can afford to!
    And they are trying to establish positions of power in politics. I beleive they have a militant wing.
    Soon they will be governing some small native town in the sticks, if they are not already, with their shady "practices".
    Then it will spread.
    The only good thing is that it will take a legacy that goes beyond the "kings" lifespan, and all his money can't buy him one thing...
    eternal youth.
    Botox away, turd burglar, it wont help, just makes you look more like Steven Segal, and he one ugly, old mofo, if you watch his latest movie.
    This is not tall poppy syndrome, if I had the chance, I simply wouldn't do what he is doing, because its wrong.
    In USA, the FBI and ATF would both have large dossiers on his activities by now, and he would have been pulled to a grand jury hearing, if not a congressional hearing.
    But not in good old retarded NZ, I bet they aint got any ideas what his fat fingers are buried in.
