Tithing should be something you believe in not pressured into.

GOD doesn't need or want anything from us done unwillingly...going by scripture he seems to want us to give willingly..not begrudgingly.

Tithing is also donating in a way..tithing is about faith.

It's say..GOD I recognize all the blessings, money I have is because of you..and thus I choose to honor you by giving a portion of that up back to you.

What’s crazy is how they can
I was wondering what brought about this change. Informative.

Black Churches screwed themselves.

The current generation isn’t dedicated to going to church like our grandparents were.

The main reason is because most of us were dogged out constantly by the elders.

“kids these days” were judged how we were dressed, the music we choose to listen too, the shows we watched etc

Not to mention, some of us watched our parents struggle to survive day to day, with ZERO genuine help from the congregation

Will know those same kids are grown up and making their own decisions.

When our grandparent pass, who is going to fill those church pews?

I knew a girl who would calculate 10 percent of her income for the church, I pointed out how silly she was struggling to make ends meet while her pastor drove a fukking Ferrari. The final straw for her was the pastor wanting her to pay $10,000 to read the vows at her wedding after years of donations to the church.

Religion is a scam.

Had a similar experience. Put me off big time.

Has very little to do with what you said. Our grandparents went to church because it was one of the few places blacks could gather in fellowship and organize. The church was the cornerstone of the community and most of our business, community events, and leadership filtered through the church.

That’s not the case now so people who are as you say, struggling, will ask what are they getting in return for their time and money.

As opposed to the jewish community where if you need some sort of connection whether financial or opportunity wise you better be bumping shoulders with someone in a synagogue.

WHERE TF IS THE THREAD WE WERE POSTING IN EARLIER ABOUT THESE WAYWARD RELIGIOUS FIGURES?! The Pope thread!

Of course he comes clean after he already has all their money!

Tithing can be anything you have to offer: money, food, goods, etc. Whatever you can give. Doesn’t have to be monetary.

They would know that if they read the Bible themselves.
Facts. All of it.

This is called the double dip

You milk one community dry, then you go on a apology tour walking back everything you originally said and milk the next generation that’s a little bit more aware of the game

It won’t be very long before black churches began to welcome LGBT with open arms (and pockets)


Gay couples = Dual income, no kids

:blessed: you young rich queers are always welcomed in the FAMILY congregation
