In other news... to expand their brand, I hear LifeChurch.tv is working a 12 billion dollar deal to buy naming rights to the state of Oklahoma. We will now be called LifeOK.tv. These are exciting times. This fresh new name should do wonders for our state. Cheers.

metro, do you have the press release?

One thing I find very interesting (as a former Life Church member) is that you can go online to find people's homes and taxes etc on the Oklahoma County Assessor's website - as public information. Most of the pastors of large churches in Oklahoma County are on there - such as Crossings Community Church and many other large churches. Guess which church mysteriously has found a loophole and not one pastor's home is listed on the county website? You got it - LifeChurch. And I know they don't all live outside Oklahoma County. So don't talk to me about transparency. And yes, before you ask, I have attended LifeChurch - I was one of the original members at the Edmond Campus, until I got tired of feeling like a herded cow in a big church "mall". The other thing I find interesting is this newfound message of rejecting consumerism. Really? I've never been to a church that wants its members to buy more "stuff" than LifeChurch. There is a t-shirt for everything, a new CD all of the time and bookstores in most of the locations.

Anyway - don't tell me how transparent they all are - I know better.

karlanee, it's not too tough to convey your property into a trust . Anyone who wants privacy can do such a thing -- and it's hardly a loophole.

When every other large church pastors can be seen publicly, but every pastor at that church can't - it seems like a loophole to me.

If I can do it legally and easily, it's not a loophole...It's an option.
