Wonder what it costs to regrow a leg, or do you get a discount if you need two?

That would just barely cover the costs of venue rental, equipment rentals and throw in transportation and refreshments etc.

If there was any left over to pay David's salary he would most likely look at the time he invested and find out he made far less than minimum wage 'per hour' spent on it.

The problem isn't 30 quid.
The problem is inducing youth into trance-states, psychosomatic aberrations and learning that 'being high/drunk' is some kind of ideal state of mind for a Christian.

700 x $30 = $21,000, a ****load more than enough to cover venue hire and lighting.

Everyone puts bread on the table by various means - most of us have a job. Dave just chooses to rip off the gullible, that's all.

I don't know but why are you so certain that is an ****load more than enough to cover venue, lighting etc?

The next thing is to find out what's left after expenses and see how that is worked out.
For example:
Lets say they are left with 15 after expenses. This goes into the Ministry (it does go to Davids pocket).
That gets divided out into all kinds of expenses even to a bookkeeper other staff, whatever business expenses they have,
they do things like buy new printers for the ministry, pay for posters.

Keep in mind they have to use this to start promoting, planning their next event.

After that a certain % goes to paying their Pastor (David) who (for the sake of argument) may get paid 1,600 a month.
He gets his monthly salary of 1,600 and they may be quite happy they have enough to pay him for the next 6 months.

This is just a typical example of these things. One thing I am certain about is that it DOES NOT work that David is like a Club Owner/Promoter who simply gets 'the profits'.
Doesn't work like that at all.

Keep in mind, if a Club Promoter did this nobody would call the Promoter a 'Con Man'.
They would say 'Yeah.. guy put on a concert and made x-amount'.

But in Davids case it would not work that way. If we found out it did - he would surely be in the Diary Room talking to some tax people right now heh.



They are not gullible. They love attending these things, believe in it with as much passion as David and are happy to chip in their 30,
and,
for them the 30 is WELL WORTH the event. They are delighted they paid ONLY 30 for a concert they loved.

Put it this way:
What was the last concert you attended?
Did you get 'ripped off'?
Are you 'gullible'?
Was the band/singer a con-man?

I don't know how Dave gets drunk all the time. Sloshfests is more of a cult that has been derived from born-again Christianity, they go there to get drunk off the Lord, whereas most born-again Christians hardly get drunk and it is out of there control and can happen naturally during Worship.
