...often you are dealing with humanity overseas, occasionally you are dealing with humanity in Oz.

Either way, when you get your say into my lounge, you always help break up the stupidity during much of the news shows and I feel happy and do not wish to hurl the shoe at the TV.

Cheers Tim.

Odd, that.

All I can think when I see his concerned look and hear his humanitarian platitudes is - hey, for a quarter of a million a year, I could do that too.

Naughty Pericles... my thoughts exactly.

Doesn't it scare you when you think like me ? :) of course, I have to thankyou for your original discovery of that little financial fact... but strangely, when I regurgitate it in criticsm of Costello you berate me.. Hmmmmmm......

Has Tim finally caught up with Hillsong empressario Brian Houston... who I'm told drives a rather flash 3 star... not a run of the mill lil one..but a biggy...

Well..perhaps not quite...but all I can think of now when I see "Tim Costello", specially that classic image of him bullying the Westpac bank.

Of course..Tim is quite skilled at picking on others with money..

“The quickest way to degrade the gospel,” says Costello, “is to link it with money and the pursuit of money. It is the total opposite of what Jesus preached. These people have learnt nothing from the mistakes made by the American televangelists.” (Tim Costello)

He's quite right there...but Pericles link should reveal a bit of a problem with the 'Word' and the 'Life'. (Tims)

//Melbourne's Wesley Central Mission today vowed to review the salary package of its controversial superintendent, Reverend Tim Langley, after it was revealed he was earning $160,000 a year, as well as living in a luxury apartment supplied by the Uniting Church.
The salary has outraged some members of the clergy, at least, who say that a religious calling is all about sacrifice and service.//

REV TIM COSTELLO, BAPTIST MINISTER: "Look, I was shocked and I think most clergy in the church are dumbstruck. When you have a religious calling, you understand it's about sacrifice and service. You're not in it to make money."

Indeed Tim....indeeed... how much are you now paid at World vision ?

It's a HECK of a lot MORE than the $160,000 for which you were critical of Langley.

Doncha hate the internet......

I remember a few years ago Derryn Hinch made some comments about how little of the dollars we donate to charities - actually goes to the charities and people in need. Out of each dollar the amount mentiones was very small. Still, as Hinch stated, if we didn't donate - these people wouldn't get anything at all. So, prior to criticising Costello's salary - we need to ask - where would the poor be without organisations like World Vision? Better off? It's all relative. As for judging Costello? - he's doing his job - and doing it well and he's not the only one benefiting from it.

Most Christians I know have switched to giving to organisations that help the poor as well as sharing of the Only One who can save their souls. World Vision seem to have become more Green faith minded (political) than remembering its original purpose. I hope I am wrong. I am sure I have heard Costello parroting some nonsense about global warming at some stage.
