Why the Destiny Church walkout?

Would you walk out on your church if it began asking you to 'go without' in order to raise $3 million? A pastor and 90 followers stood up and walked out of a service in Brisbane, being run by Bishop Brian Tamaki's wife, Hanna Tamaki. Churchgoers were asked to "give it heaps" (of offerings), on top of the tithes and school gifts already offered. What do you feel caused the walkout?

What I don't get about Destiny Church is if the Tamaki's are such god fearing people, what possessed them to think that all the other churches weren't good enough and that they somehow were given the mandate to start an entirely new church?
If they're so into the bible why didn't they just become Catholic or Church of England. There seems to be a certain conceited arrogance that a person would think that none of the current churches were good enough for them and that they had to start there own church.
And having done so, who gave Brain the mandate to crown himself a Bishop, a term and concept clearly stolen from all those other churches that weren't good enough for him.
This is a man who beleives that he knows best and that the idea of joining a regular church where he's one of the pack and having to say his prayers and be humble just didn't cut the mustard.
He firmly beleives in the church of Brain, but realized he couldn't sell that to the public, so he created a self serving organisation wrapped in the guise of God. A pyrimad scheme selling god to the masses, for the benefit of the few. Halleluiah!

Should Clarke choose cricket or Lara Bingle?

Should Australian cricket vice captain Michael Clarke forget Lara Bingle and concentrate on his cricket career? It has become apparent that his relationship with the model is taking precedent over his sporting duties after he dashed home on the eve of the team's third one-dayer against the Black Caps. His premature departure was over a nude photo scandal involving Bingle. Would you choose sport or love?

why is there interested in this debate? are we discussing the wonderful keenness he has to aid his partner/ex-partner in her time of stress or is it simpley the normal kiwi obsession with putting an Aussie down during a sporting encounter.

Should we change the 'right hand rule'?

Is it time we dropped our notorious 'right hand rule'? Numerous governments have felt that the public wouldn't be able to cope with a change, but the National led Government feel otherwise. Transport Minister Steven Joyce believes a change to the rule, which would bring us in line with the rest of the world, will improve awareness and intersections and lower accidents. AA estimates indicate a change to the rule could save up to $17 million a year in accident costs. Are we right to lose this rule?

There are roads that without left turning traffic needing to let the right turning traffic go would result in right turning traffic never moving. I am one of the few that agree full with the law as it stands
