I know very well the lifestyles of those in megachurches, and of some churches in the south. My dad is a minister, but we're Presbyterian, and one of our tenets handed down by way of Calvin is MODERATION. So with that, dad doesn't ask for a salary that is way over and above his needs. I don't know about other denominations, but to me, it would seem that at least with the megachurches, the people filling the offering plate at least know what they're getting. When you just see someone on TV, who knows where the money goes. There is really no oversight, which is why I think the committee looking into the finances of some televangelists is a great thing.
