My guess is no back room, but instead a dungeon in the cellar decked out with a Hell motif. Then he can preach about how sinners will go to Hell and those parishioners who need a little sin can simply wander down the stairs (to "Hell"), get a quickie, and be back in time to drop some $$$ into the collection plate. Since they believe a ritual can leave you "cleansed" of sin, you minimize the time between doing it and wiping the slate clean, nearly eliminating the risk of "eternal damnation". It could be the best scam since "rapture insurance". romeo asked, “Will it have a back room?” My guess is no back room, but instead a dungeon in the cellar decked out with a Hell motif.

He's not bad. Probably could have met a nice fella and adopted a couple of Romanian orphans and had a life. But in his business having phrases like "long-term relationship with a mail prostitute," and "crack" associated with you means you're pretty much screwed. I think his best course of action would be to man up, dump the wife, come out big-time and hit the media circuit with that. You know, lead an authentic life. Then write an HONEST book. That I'd buy.

Maybe he watched "The Apostle" one too many times. Does he realize how liberal it is to start a church because you don't want to follow the restrictions that others place on your ability to lead a congregation? How could anyone support THAT?
