While people are capable of independent thinking, it's like waking up for the first time and using muscles never before exercised. It's an uncomfortable and maybe even painful experience.
People prefer the path of least resistance, wanting instead to offload as many responsibilities as possiblity onto anything or anyone else.
People are all too willing to allow others to think for them. Unfortunately no one can be trusted with the sacred responsibility of leadership aside from God Himself or those He has placed in positions of leadership.
Therefore, those who are placed in positions of leadership have great responsibility as shepherd's of souls. May God bless you in your ability to fulfill this station.

I don't know anything about Hillsong other than what I have seen on videos. I bear witness with the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the musicians, even if there are those that fall away from time to time.
I love mega churches that are full of outreach ministries where many are getting saved and growth is explosive. I would love to support those kinds of churches. Much more than a small tiny church that has not done a thing to reach out in 20 years and are just going through the motions of Sunday service.
I think the pastor needs a raise if he is only making 40K

Good to hear that you love @notuptome as a fellow Christian

What has Hillsong done to you? Other than, Ask you for money, tell you that pastors are gifts to the churches, be audacious enough to drive a new car (oh the horror!) and accept 58K salary? Oh, and something vague about business practices. Do you forgive them? Maybe you should notice how silly it sounds in your out loud voice?
Nothing you said supports calling them charlatans. You have put this out there and now I hope you can accept the feedback that it makes you look petty, critical, faultfinding and possible a false accuser. I would have to investigate first hand each of your accusations because I am more skeptical of your perception of reality than I am of the church you attended.
Your seem to lack comprehension that your examples do not support the claim of charlatan. That is why I doubt your accusations have substance.
