Exploitation

The following is from New Jersey News:

Three pastors of a nondenominational church in Randolph used members' donations and proceeds from selling the $5 million church building to buy a $1.6 million mansion in Mendham Township, a $450,000 schooner in Jersey City and life-coaching classes, state officials said yesterday.

In chapter two of Habakkuk the prophet pronounces five woes.
Woe against selfish ambition
Woe against covetousness
Woe against exploitation of others
Woe against drunkenness
Woe against idolatry
We exploit someone when we take more than we give, when we treat people like things.
