@ccai639: Unsainted: The Price of Prosperity: Bishop Eddie Long's Unchecked Wealth and Transparency Avoidance Bishop Eddie Long: led New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Georgia. 25,000 members. Multimillion-dollar mansion, luxury cars, preached prosperity gospel. 2007: Senator Chuck Grassley investigated nonprofit ministry. Asked: salary + where donations go. Eddie Long: FLATLY REFUSED to disclose compensation. Most uncooperative of six televangelists investigated. Senate probe went public: donations to ministry DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. People realized: tithes funding lifestyle he WON'T defend with transparency. Religious nonprofit status = PERFECT SHIELD. Pastors want empire wealth, ZERO accountability. Long built: New Birth = one of largest churches America. Taught: seed-faith theology (financial giving = God's blessing). Collected: TENS OF MILLIONS tax-free annually. Lived: luxury (Bentleys, mansions, private jet access). US Senate asked: how much pays himself from nonprofit? Said: ABSOLUTELY NOT. Cited: privacy + religious freedom. EVERY other nonprofit: must disclose executive compensation. Investigation found: generous compensation packages, love offerings, lavish spending. Without cooperation: couldn't force disclosure. Long: NEVER faced consequences for refusing Senate. Continued: tax-exempt empire until death 2017. Taught generation prosperity preachers: build wealth on poor people's faith. Government asks questions? Say NO. Hide behind First Amendment. #CultLeadersYouWereToldWereSaints #ChurchFinancialAbuse #MegachurchScandal #EddieLong #refusedentry
