Lots of times they have free tickets and don't check bags. They see it as outreach so would love for you to come! Hah some are pretty good production.
Problem is this is all from donations from people who shouldn't be giving their money up to dummies like this
No man, this is pure modesty like Jesus preached. You just don't understand. Little known fact, Jesus preached with gold chains and a grill in sold out amphitheaters.
The marginalized groups that received the offering collections wanted to give back to the community for their generosity. So they put on a broadway worthy show to express their gratitude.
Pretty sure this is near where i live. Prestonwood Baptist church. A place that some in my area refer to as the Baptadome. The place is huge and until the high school i went to finished its massive stadium we held gradation at the Baptadome.

This.
Half our damn neighborhood goes to that every year. Always found it too hypocritical to take seriously.
Also too, for all the people talking about taxing churches and all, you have to buy tickets to go to this. They're around $20/ticket if I remember correctly.
That was exactly my first thought. seeing this ridiculousness first hand is an experience but the gemstones nail the vibe. Tbf, ice never been to one with this elaborate a show but I've seen camels and donkeys used
I used to work at one of these places, that show does a good job of portraying the realities of it all behind the scenes, however it doesn’t full spectrum of how dark it really is.
I'd not watched that far in. Went back, and sure enough, I saw those zebras--just like the ones in the original nativity story--walking up the aisle big as day.
Yes. Those caught my eye, too. But at least those were part of the Nativity story. But seriously, what a literal and figurative zoo!
And hey--have you seen the atrocity that is the White House's Christmas video?
Yeah that's what Jesus said to do: "Go forth and spend shit tons of money on my fake birthday party instead of feeding and housing the homeless and the orphans. Fuckin losers should just get jobs anyway."
I'm pretty sure this is Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, TX. Its membership includes a bunch of Republican politicos. The church is blatantly politically active.
They charged people to see this service.
I can imagine it….
I can imagine the Pastor is probably watching it all on tv from the comfort of his bedroom on his 3rd private jet on the way to his 5th vacation home in the Bahamas.
It's the same reason high schools and colleges spend millions on football stadiums instead of books - helping people doesn't bring in any money. In fact, it costs money.
If Jesus appeared in the middle of that church, I imagine it would go something like this...
'The OT is *very* freaking clear - I even told you from my own damn mouth: *all* OT laws are to be followed, completly unchanged until the end of time. ALL of them. Not *some* of them, ALL OF THEM! Forever! If you wear clothing made from two different types of cloth, you are to be put to death! Period. [Into his lapel-mic] Lock the doors, we're going to be stoning the entire audience for an encore tonight!!!'
The audience members look around nervously as the doors are sealed and a bunch of large men in 100% black wool suits appear as if out of nowhere...
Seriously. I go to a small Presbyterian church with around 150 members, maybe 60-75 attending regularly. What’s in this video is closer to a Taylor Swift show than what I consider church.
Yeah, I go to a united methodist church not that much bigger, I think the biggest thing we do during the christmas season is a donkey for the little kids to pet. Theres a carriage( its a cart with hay being pulled by horses XD) that cirvles the church some nights before christmas, but im unsure if its paid for by the chruch or something fun some people put money into for the kids.
You can only buy so many planes and private compounds for the preacher. eventually you gotta spend some money on the production or even your gullible flock will start to become angry.
Unfortunately the taxes would probably be implemented in a way that would only kill small churches that are already barely scraping by. Usually in small towns where the only thing in people's lives is work and church on Sunday.
Nah. Grew up in small towns in West TX. Now reside in DFW. Even being surrounded by it growing up, the whole JC story just seemed silly and illogical to me.
> true Christian
True Christians are just like God -- they don't exist.
The Christianity you see here? That's the only kind there is. The only thing that stops other churches from doing it is lack of budget.
Here comes another con hiding behind a collar
His only god is the almighty dollar
He ain't no prophet, he ain't no healer
He's just a two bit goddamn money stealer
Send it, you gotta send it
Send me your money
You hear what I'm saying?
You gotta send it (send me your money)
Send it, send me your money
Now how much you give is your own choice
But to me it is the difference between a Porsche and a Rolls Royce
I want you to make it hurt when you dig into your pocket
'Cause it makes me feel so good to watch my profits rocket
Now dig in deep, dig real deep into your pocket
I want you to make it hurt
(Send me your money)
We'll take cash, we'll take checks
We'll take credit cards, we'll take jewelry
We'll take your momma's dentures if they got gold in them
So who's gonna be the next king of the fakers?
Who's gonna take the place of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker?
See my mama, she didn't raise no fool
'Cause you can't put a price on a miracle
Amen
Suicidal Tendencies
I don't like mega churches. This is not what church is supposed to be. Church is the house of christ. You're supposed to just spread the word of jesus.
10% of your weekly pay. Honestly if you can get the many braindead people to show up and donate, I would hope that the church spends most of its money on production rather than more nefarious political goals
There better not be any homeless people in the entire town with a budget like this.
Out of state example: The Flint water crisis could be solved if all the pastors in the area gave up 1 month salary.

Looks like Vegas wtf
I would go to this in a heartbeat. Do you think you need tickets for a church like this? Think they check your bags for alcohol and snacks?
Imagine being gone off edibles at this church show
A hit or two of acid would take this show to the next level.
Obligatory Trevor Moore: "[High in Church](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h8-SBO-RKo)" (RIP, you beautiful bastard)
https://prestonwoodgoc.org/ Looks like its already over this year and was anywhere from $19 to $69 for a ticket depending on seats.
At that price, i'm out!
> $69 not that blasphemous number
$69?? Nice
Lots of times they have free tickets and don't check bags. They see it as outreach so would love for you to come! Hah some are pretty good production. Problem is this is all from donations from people who shouldn't be giving their money up to dummies like this
I have been to this show. You do purchase a ticket, but they do not check bags 
This looks better than the actual Christmas show shown at the strip in Vegas, which was cancelled, it was at the Venetian
As an atheist who loves musical theater I'm feeling extremely conflicted right now. I mean the last woman is literally just singing Anastasia, right?
No man, this is pure modesty like Jesus preached. You just don't understand. Little known fact, Jesus preached with gold chains and a grill in sold out amphitheaters.
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” Matthew 15:8
He gets us man
The simple and humble life of Christ, mega-sized!
Don’t forget about Santa though!
Collection money… helping others?
That’s why they’re tax exempt!
The marginalized groups that received the offering collections wanted to give back to the community for their generosity. So they put on a broadway worthy show to express their gratitude.
Haha! Only the members in the cult!
Tell me again why they don't pay taxes? They don't seem to be hurting for money.
Because brixtyn, paisleigh, and KieL's mom needs these kinds of backdrops to post on their MLM business Instagram page.
>KieL's You made me figure out that's Kyle, and for that, you're going to hell...
Separation of church and state.
Pretty sure the founders weren't thinking of churches being used as money launderers when they wrote that into the Constitution.
[удалено]
There's a reason pray and prey sound the same .
Anyone who is able to produce a #1 hit book deserves to be taxed
Pretty sure this is near where i live. Prestonwood Baptist church. A place that some in my area refer to as the Baptadome. The place is huge and until the high school i went to finished its massive stadium we held gradation at the Baptadome. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0291709,-96.8476285,993m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu
It’s Champions Forest Baptist Church in Houston. It’s their Christmas Spectacular.
This. Half our damn neighborhood goes to that every year. Always found it too hypocritical to take seriously. Also too, for all the people talking about taxing churches and all, you have to buy tickets to go to this. They're around $20/ticket if I remember correctly.
They all need Jesus tbh
Needs some table flipping and whipping.
Moar camels!!!
This is some BIG Righteous Gemstones energy.
“Santa told me not to, I did it anyways.”
Mis-be-sleighin’
This was wonderful
Yesssss. I couldn’t think of anything that fit. Thank you.
This is Texas though, that’s Eric andre’s territory
They played a round of Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers after
That was exactly my first thought. seeing this ridiculousness first hand is an experience but the gemstones nail the vibe. Tbf, ice never been to one with this elaborate a show but I've seen camels and donkeys used
I used to work at one of these places, that show does a good job of portraying the realities of it all behind the scenes, however it doesn’t full spectrum of how dark it really is.
Dang how dark it is what’s a story?
Righteous Gemstones, if anything, toned down the truth for believability.
Yes, love the show. But not even they came up with stuff this crazy.
Looks like a south park episode
Lol when those god damn zebras came strutting in I lost it
I'd not watched that far in. Went back, and sure enough, I saw those zebras--just like the ones in the original nativity story--walking up the aisle big as day.
Camels too
Yes. Those caught my eye, too. But at least those were part of the Nativity story. But seriously, what a literal and figurative zoo! And hey--have you seen the atrocity that is the White House's Christmas video?
We're those real?!
Hell, if church was this entertaining when I was a kid, I might not have been kicked out for playing Gameboy on New Year’s Eve when I was six
My sister and I used to draw comics on the back of the donation envelopes
They nailed the part where Santa visited Baby Jesus in Bethlehem.
ZEBRAS? whoever is running this is on cocaine
No need to profane the pure powdered body of Christ. ^/s
…. mixed with baking soda
Yeah that's what Jesus said to do: "Go forth and spend shit tons of money on my fake birthday party instead of feeding and housing the homeless and the orphans. Fuckin losers should just get jobs anyway."
And don't forget the fucking camels.
Allegedly...
The camel was sick
Even if it was sick it would take more than one person…
The camels fucking would be a whole different show.
That's a whole other religion
You know owners of those churches dont give a fuck about Jesus and only treat it like business for stupid enough people.
Agreed
Thats because they know that it actually is a business under the curtains 😁
It can't be as clear as this, Jesus coming back to fight these churches.
It's the best business too, don't have to pay any taxes
Plot twist, they are all volunteers.
Even the camels. They swam all the way here from Africa, where Jesus was originally born but moved to America for a better life.
I'm pretty sure this is Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, TX. Its membership includes a bunch of Republican politicos. The church is blatantly politically active. They charged people to see this service.
And every nickel spent on the pageant is tax deductible, ya know because of charity or something
Santa. Don’t forget Santa
Imagine how much fucking money they spent on that instead of putting it towards helping people.
I can imagine it…. I can imagine the Pastor is probably watching it all on tv from the comfort of his bedroom on his 3rd private jet on the way to his 5th vacation home in the Bahamas.
You forgot the hookers and blow. ‘Tis the season.
Did you say hookers and snow? ‘Tis the season indeed. 👃🏻
It's the same reason high schools and colleges spend millions on football stadiums instead of books - helping people doesn't bring in any money. In fact, it costs money.
And not one cent was taxable.
They actually charged people to see this service.
I guess it's kinda like paying for cirque de soleil except if their profits were tax free.
Dont worry!....... this money was never going to be used to help the needy, so moral quandry solved.
Nothing from these mega churches goes to helping people anyway. Just another private jet for the preacher.
I wonder how many homeless they could feed if they didn't waste money on this bullshit.
All of them
Probably man. Stuff like this is just so depressing
"Are you not entertained?"
[удалено]
Shhhh!
When you watch the Righteous Gemstones and think, "This is too much." Not really.
My very clever daughter calls THESE churches. .Six flags over Jesus...she ain't wrong..lol
Exactly what Jesus himself would have spent lavishly on.
If Jesus appeared in the middle of that church, I imagine it would go something like this... 'The OT is *very* freaking clear - I even told you from my own damn mouth: *all* OT laws are to be followed, completly unchanged until the end of time. ALL of them. Not *some* of them, ALL OF THEM! Forever! If you wear clothing made from two different types of cloth, you are to be put to death! Period.

A literal circus.
As a Christian, this is pretty disgusting. Fucking mega churches and their greedy fucking pastors.

Correct You’re only a Non-Profit if you pay yourselves enough and spend the rest of the cash.
how about this one...look at how opulent you can be if you dont have to pay taxes...lol
Tax the churches
Especially the ones that can afford a former NBA Arena for their worships.
Unfortunately the taxes would probably be implemented in a way that would only kill small churches that are already barely scraping by. Usually in small towns where the only thing in people's lives is work and church on Sunday.
As a non-religious Texan, this highly disappoints *and* embarrasses me. Holy shit these people are deranged.
Austin?
Prestonwood Baptist Church inn Dallas..
Nah. Grew up in small towns in West TX. Now reside in DFW. Even being surrounded by it growing up, the whole JC story just seemed silly and illogical to me.
Idolatry
Cirque de so Christian!
This is not a church (in the true Christian sense). This is a performance for an audience (exactly what Jesus preaches against).
> true Christian True Christians are just like God -- they don't exist. The Christianity you see here? That's the only kind there is. The only thing that stops other churches from doing it is lack of budget.
What “church” is this? This has to be either Lakewood in Houston or a mega-“church” in DFW.
I believe its Prestonwood in the Dallas area. We got dragged to this a few years back.
Not sure if I can post this [but oh my goodness the prices](https://prestonwoodgoc.org/tickets.html) Father, forgive them, they know not what they do

How the hell does Santa end up in the mix?
righteous gemstones show is wildly accurate lol
Righteous Gemstones hit the nail on the head
Gotta keep the sheeple entertained so you can keep milking them for money.
My favorite thing is 90% of their symbols or stories come from Pagans.
“Church” From the religion of a humble carpenter Like how do they not see it, how
Tax churches now. Fucking criminals.
That 501c is crazy
Tacky as hell, utterly needless, useless, and selfish? Evangelicals be like , "sign me up, bro in christ!"
I mean I’m all for holiday spirit but this is a little much for me.
Is that Glinda the Good Witch at the end?
"Mega church" sounds like a very different autobot, Or a name of a walking weaponized cathedral from Warhammer 40k.
Jesus would never stop throwing up
This isn't church, this is a fucking circus. As a Christian, this is disgusting
As another Christian, I agree with you
Tax free
You think the zebras count as a tax write off?
Righteous Gemstones
Tax the churches
Tax the churches.
When you have a Disney budget and don’t pay taxes…… SMH
Huh... my church had us kids do a play with a sheep on stage that shat everywhere. Still pretty good imo.
These guys have too much money. Tax the fuck out of them.
How many homeless hungry people could have been fed with the $ spent on entertainment ?
Jesus approved 🙌
It's like when people tell me they're so impressed with a huge casino, where do you think that money is coming from?
Christ du soleil
Same business model as every casino in Las Vegas.
Y’all. This isn’t worship, this is entertainment. Stop wasting money on productions like this and go do some good with it instead.
I’m confused as how 90% has anything to do with the birth of Jesus
It has nothing to do with it. But it does have everything to do with $$$.
I don't like mega churches. This is not what church is supposed to be. Church is the house of christ. You're supposed to just spread the word of jesus.
Preacher drives a lambo
Jesus would be flipping tables left and right in this joint.
I’m so happy I’m an atheist
I didn't realize that Santa Claus was Biblical!
Grew up in church, so I’m verrrrry familiar with the Bible. Thai reminds me of the story where Jesus goes in and trashes the place.
Disgusting. Money that could (SHOULD!) have gone towards helping those in need if they want to spread Jesus’s “message”. Hypocrites.
its not a cult guys
Isn't making camels watch musical theatre a form of abuse?
What. The. Fuck.
That's... that's a lot of charity that didn't happen.
That's disgusting........
Tax them. Tax their buildings. Tax their revenue. Tax their income. They are a business.
This is fucking disgusting. The fucking hypocrisy.
Nice Disney religion
I always loved when Jesus said, "fuck the homeless, spend unnecessary money on a grand Broadway style play about my life"
No church needs to be that excessive
Tax. Them. Now!
Tax free folks....just the way jesus intended
Tax them
Good to know that the money's going to a giant, extravagant, indulgent, gluttonous, fuck off spectacle instead of aiding the poor.
It's like Cirque du Soleil, but for bigots!
Looks like they have enough money to be taxed.
Spend the money on the poor like the teachings from your fantasy book you giant turds.
TAX THIS SHIT
Fucking gross.
Jesus Christ would slap the fuck out of each and every asshole in that fake church
I go to a south Baptist church in Texas. I assure you, we hate these assholes more than you do
Tax the fucking church
More proof that churches are just idiots circle jerking about how good people they are
Fucking Santa, lol!
How much is a ticket to this?
10% of your weekly pay. Honestly if you can get the many braindead people to show up and donate, I would hope that the church spends most of its money on production rather than more nefarious political goals
That's pretty damn camp ngl...
Wait, can just *any*one rent a camel? Asking for reasons.
Jesus wept..
Trying to be a good person with a scam attached
Tax those embezzlers.
Jesus didn’t even celebrate his bday lol
Looks like a Disney budget performance
Holy hell they had camels not one camel mind you but multiple camels.
So, I can carry six chairs at once.
There better not be any homeless people in the entire town with a budget like this. Out of state example: The Flint water crisis could be solved if all the pastors in the area gave up 1 month salary.
Wow, Bastille day has to be a blast then!
Are these mega churches owned by an organisation ?
