>> Actually, you are probably right. They did some incredible stock investing......bought at the bottom and sold at the top. Thanks for clearing it up.

I know nothing (and don't care to know anything) about this organization. I have had business dealings with one of the wealthiest church organizations in existence, and they were rotten to the core and they and the wealthy attorneys who advised them made every effort to screw me in the deal. I acted in good faith throughout and at the end of the day of the day I had to become very aggressive to keep from being beaten out of 100,000s of dollars (at a time when that was real money).

There is nothing magical about churches. Many of them are run by people who have no more morals or ethics than Bernie Madoff. And some have the highest standards. I wouldn't condemn them all based on a bad experience (and in fact, have done business with several since those days). They're simply congregations of humans and can be good, bad, and indifferent -- pretty much like the individuals who run them.
