Mega Scam
Mega Churches are the biggest scam ever. I'm sure there a few small churches out there that still reinvest in the community and serve as a place where youth can cultivate their talents. From age 5-12 I sang in the children's choir and always had an Easter/Christmas speech. I learned how to harmonize and got to practice public speaking.
I picked up the most important skill in high school. One Sunday, the audio visual person just disappeared. The pastor felt I was tech savvy and left me in charge thirty minutes before service. I had no idea what I was doing back there so I sped-read through the Panasonic AV system instruction booklet. I finished just in time to cue up all the proper mics for the choir stand as praise and worship commenced.
From that Sunday, on I was the go to guy for everything related to the sound system at the church. It wasn't overly complicated. Anyone who could read could have done my job. But it was a point of pride for me. A few months later we got wireless microphones and I was thrilled to be in charge of instillation.
Mega Churches don't have amateur hour. They're corporations and children and the elderly are ostracized. Which is fine. Life moves a little faster than it did ten-fifteen years ago. People don't have time to get involved. Numbers show mega churches cater to ages 25-40 and young families. At that age people don't have time to do extra curricular activities for the church. Get in-get out, get the word, pay tithes, and go on about the week. Mega Churches cater to an audience. But follow the money.
Mega churches cost more to operate and maintain than they can actually contribute and change lives of the less fortunate. It's all about the dollar for them at the end of the day. If Mega churches had mega outreach ministry there would be significantly less poverty in the areas they "serve"
