If I'm not mistaken schools are tax-exempt too. Does this mean teachers don't pay tax?

Correct, public schools are except from tax, however teachers certainly have to pay tax.

Similar with churches. They won't pay tax but the people receiving a remuneration will have to. Unless they have done some dodgy tax evasion.

Wondering now if the good pastor was worth R600m how much tax did he pay and how did he manage to amass such a fortune. He probably has a good accountant who knew a few loop holes.

So then why say he should start being taxed if he already is?

I'm pretty sure, just like any HNWI, he had a decent tax practitioner helping him to minimise his tax obligation. And I don't blame him for that either.

Hey hey hey. I still wanna go to Mighty Men and see if the rumors of debauchery away from the wives/gfs are true. Him croaking will put a damper on the whole thing.

Selling a product he cannot prove works nor guarantees and for which the client has no recourse as he will never know if it works or not.

What product is this?

Are we all not liberty to purchase anything we want regardless of if prove effectiveness? Why do you want to police people's wallets, tell them what they can spend money on. Did he sell them poison that when ingested kills people?

Does that men we should wish for his untimely demise?

Nobody is forcing those men to spend their money. Regardless of what you think, it’s their money let them spend it on what they believe to be valuable to them in peace. It’s the same as those wankers on here that have issue with SUV’s.

Meant to say they should start taxing churches and got carried away.

That's a very different, but valid, point. What is true through is that very few churches (or any ngo's) show much net income, so the potential tax income is minimal. And, as you say, monies paid to employees is taxed already.

I'll tell you what it was. His church forbade divorce but he divorced his wife and married a young dolly bird.

This is a bit of a fib, the overwhelming majority of these 95 thesis churches do not forbid divorce, where did you find out that Rhema forbids divorce? That's an unfair grievance to post at his door. If memory serves me, it was more than one divorce.

Did Rhema / Ray ever do any good? did he build anyone a house or build an SPCA or something? without me hunting the internet and getting sucked into a sidequest for days...

Weird how they don't just start a kibbutz style environment, instead of learning to play chess etc. A kibbutz would really change peoples lives, they can live, work and be together and grow as a community, and actually feel like a member of society. This added with selling their made produce / products would be hugely beneficial to all the people involved.
You can't just talk to people and after a few weeks / months of "don't do drugs" chuck them back on the streets and expect them to never do drugs again, it doesn't work.

Maybe because kibbutz sounds too Jew-ey.

Go read a book, or the Bible or any constitution of any country in the world. Take a part-time course, get educated on something, you know...... Not even the most ignorant stupid man in Africa can say the things you say.

Dude, you waffle way too much. I have no interest in your little god or reading a fairy tale book. The fact that grown adults believe in such nonsense is just laughable.

I am educated in things that matter, I don't need education on fiction.
