read the story in south florida's sun sentinel @ www.sunsentinel.com (cover story) about the Rev. Mundell. COULD IT BE THAT THERE ARE MANY LIKE HIM PREYING ON THE POOR MEN AND WOMEN OF FAITH WHO BELIEVE THAT THE GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY, LAVISHNESS AND RICHNESS WILL BE THEIRS TOO IF THEY GIVE FAITHFULLY, EVEN IF IT'S THEIR LAST.
Does it not raise a curious brow, when men and women of religion live lavishly, with all the trappings that come along with that lifestyle, while preaching a Gospel centering on a poor man who was born in a barn, dressed in simple garbs, who rode on a donkey and lived as a guest in others' homes, while living a nomadic life that involved spreading God's word and teachings?
Understand the psychology of religious teaching today, and is it not understandable how PERSONS WHO ARE TAUGHT TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD WOULD GIVE tithes, gifts, contributions, donations, seed offerings etc. even if it's their last, in hopes of escaping the hardships and struggles that they face in their lives? Lest they not be a good and faithful servant, worthy of God's blessing and favour. Ever wonder why some churches make persons mark their envelopes/offerings, in order to know who is giving what?
Rev. Mundell, a white man, focused his ministry on mostly poor, low income, blacks, promising them that their contributions would be used for missionary trips, church construction and would bring blessings upon all who gave. The missionary trips never took place, the churches were never built, and the blessings of future riches and prosperity never materialized.
Could it be that in The Bahamas, a small country known for the third highest standard of living in this part of the hemisphere, behind the U.S. and Canada, having perhaps the greatest number of per capita churches and ministries anywhere in the world, and mired in an ever increasing onslaught of crime, social decay and poverty could be the breeding ground for wolves masquerading in sheep's clothing, prostituting religion, making it the greatest racket in this country, behind the numbers game?
