This is to their shame! Using Paul’s words, not mine. |
Funny- for being so “bold” in their actions/stance-they certainly don’t talk about it much to the local churches (at least in the locality I was in).
They’re exploiting sweet people who I believe give (many) 10% or more of their income. I believe their hearts are good so it’s covered if they don’t know where it’s going. I wish more light and awareness would shine on this issue
Thank you, I’m going to read those verses about suing...
I specifically remember (in the 80’s) the lawsuits being talked about in our home and my dad saying, “We didn’t have a choice!”
Well, that wasn’t my dad’s choice to make. I’m in no way blaming him. But it’s interesting that he said “we” when I’m sure the decision wasn't his. He was told the decision and he went along with it-trusting the ones leading.
Thanks for the verse link!
