I, of course, will be *shocked* if it turns out that these people are fiscally honest. They obviously have no moral compass, so why WOULDN'T they be siphoning money?

That's why they have forensic accountants. And they're much smarter than your average accountant who thinks he can pull a fast one. They've seen all the tricks.

I hope they try it and get caught.

Does this "church" have tax-exempt status, i wonder? Regardless, they are the Shame of America. Freedom of speech has its limits and these "people" have grossly exceeded it. It's infuriating to watch Phelps & Co. (it's a family business after all) use the democratic system for their own purposes while rotting the same system from the inside.
