Especially if you are part of an armed gang arriving at church in your Mercedes...Just a thought here, it might be more prudent for a bishop to leave several hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry in the safe at home instead of flashing it from the pulpit...No report of legally armed parishioners attempting to forestall the incident...Bishop Lamor Whitehead says three men waving guns stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry from him and his wife....Ben

They say to get rich become a preacher or politican.
Guess the first guy preaching wearing sandals and saying love thy neighbor wasn't a good example to follow.

Damn shame the Reverend Grab A Dollar lost all that bling----and his wife's bling as well! But, not to worry, I'm sure the good preacher is already charging his "flock" to come up with plenty of donations to buy more bling
I have to wonder how those agents of the devil knew to stop in his church on Sunday morning just to see what they might find
Yes sir Jesus----we will rise from the ashes of this sin even stronger and more endowed in your name dear Jesus----AMEN brother AMEN------Hallelujah, praise Jesus and pass the plate brother

I don't believe there are any legally armed parishioners in any church in my state. In NY, even with a concealed carry permit, only off-duty cops can carry in a church, or so I'm told.
Of course, one way to look at it is that although the bishop was, shall we say, "divested" of an eye-popping amount of bling, no shots were fired so everyone went home alive. That beats a shoot-out in the pews, though I wonder if the good bishop might want to start carrying a piece once his flock learns how much of their contributions went into his pocket. Plowshares may be beaten back into swords, at least metaphorically, before this episode is done.
