Is Rev. Falwell a member of ECFA?  How about Jimmy Swaggart, Oral Roberts, or
thaclown who's wife buys the extra-runny mascara so she can cry a lot about
all the money they need at look extra-pitiful (PTL Club or 700 Club?)?

Most of the TV evangelists do NOT belong, and keep their accounting a deep,
dark secret, and will lecture you on the benefits of having faith in them
and their bookkeepers, eqRG~ating faith in their accounting with faith in
God (i.e. if you really believe in Jesus, you wouldn't ask those questions).

Flame at will, I'm ready!

Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion,
