Anyone remember the poster who claimed to have a stray dog in the garage which he'd been feeding for a week and didn't know whether to phone the SSPCA or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Better posting here than on the God Botherers thread: Where do Scottish churches get their money to pay ministers a half decent wage? I've done a quick Google search and seen answers involving church-goers donating a tenth of their gross income but part of me thinks most of the answers are from across the pond where you get the hardcore "can I get an amen? Yeah! Hallelujah, prasie the lord!" types) and that folk over here won't donate anything close to that. If most church goers in a small church like the one in my old village stick in about a fiver during collections, surely there's no way the minister can make a living out of that alone?

stimpy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Churches, by this I mean religious organisations, own a lot of land some in the centre of big cities and raise a heap through that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surly Ministers/Priests god pushers of any faith are not in it for the money but for the love of God. Or am I be naive. Religion is big business, they generate a wad of cash, I sure some churches subsidies others, so the word keeps getting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Tried this on the E Chat thread but diddly squat. I have an i Pad 1.

I can click on a post to relpy and the reply box comes up,but the keyboard des'nt appear to allow me to type anything. Anyone know what (if anything) 'Im doing wrong and how to fix this? Have tried a mates i Pad 2 and it works fine Cheers UTN Edited February 28, 2012 by Unleash The Nade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The churches benefit from bequests by rich dead people. Some specific to a church in an area, some general. Might help pay for the ministers The church of England is one of the biggest property owners in europe holding shopping malls, London offices and the like. Dunno of the church of Scotland is as wedged up, but probably does nicely. Should be annual accounts somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to get a pretty modest wage but a big Manse to live in. Don't know what it's like now, I think they've sold off most of the Manses and they still get a low salary. They probably get to go to Heaven though, which you could see as a non taxable benefit on top of a pension, the scammers. Correction. Looks like they're on £40,000 a year, not bad for one gig a week.

At year end 31/12/2010. I reckon they're not worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church roofs are full of lead. Some of the congregation tithe 10% of income, or more, to the church, not just the fiver in the plate. I mind the Stornoway Gazette published a list of churches and their income when I lived there, the one at Back came out top, sure it was something daft like £8,000 a month. Radio 4 did a piece last week on churches and the lead, they cant get insured now as 9 a night are being hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pencils Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Anyone here ever suffered a sinus infection? On Saturday i felt a little pressure on my cheek on my right hand side, and since then its slowly gotten more painful and now on both sides. It is literally the most pain I've ever been in, in my whole life. It gets a lot worse when i lie down and it got the the stage that after my nightshift the other night I lay in bed from i got in at 8, till 6 at night before finally getting some sleep. Got an emergency appointment and was subscribed cocodamol and some antibiotics, but if anything its getting worse. Anyone had any experience of this, and how long will it last? does it just go away in time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
