Question: My mom has cancer, lost her job and health insurance: so why does her church still insist she pay her tithing?

A tithe is 10% of what she earns. If she lost her job, she isn't earning anything. 10% of nothing is nothing.

It's a small price to pay for salvation

Maybe they don;t know she's in that much trouble.

If you're mom has cancer, then why are you worrying about her tithing when she obviously wants to do it? You're either trolling, or you don't actually give a damn about your mother.

The Church is a business, and it wants paying customers.

Really. Has her Pastor litterally told her she has to pay or she's kicked out. Sorry, that's not the way churches operate.

You should ask her priest/ pastor that question because it sounds to me like your mom needs to find another church.

They should be assisting her financially out of the storehouse. If they have not even offered anyn help then they are selfish pharisees and I would find another church family that truly cares.

And why not leave said church? You can't read the bible at home? Churches exist as a place for people to compare clothes and brag about their personal success to each other. Edit: At least that's what I see when I go gorilla massing at various churches. Always about hats and how smart their kids are. The pre and post mass socializing is longer than the mass itself. It's hilarious.

If anything, the church should be helping you.

... because she's in a fallen church where they care more about money than life. Sad but true. Most churches are already worshiping the antichrist. I wonder why your mom or you haven't noticed that yet. It's too bad she had to go through all that before she realized she's not in a good godly church.

I think fashion is about suspense and surprise and fantasy. It’s not about rules

You only pay tithes on your earnings, if she has no earnings she owes no tithe.

A church is like any other business. They are in it just for the money. That is why lots of people may believe but they don't attend church.

What church would insist with someone that has cancer? Wicked is as wicked does. You should know that. But you know what is more wicked than that. Making this up.

The person who runs this doesnt sound nice, find a new church. Or speak to your Moms friends from church and get them to speak to the person who runs it, gang up on him.

Posted by: HTacianas on 2009-12-22, 15:50:08

I don't know of any church that would require her to pay anything under those conditions. But then again, since you're making it up anyway...

I see your point of view but i also see the churches point of view. when you give to the church your giving back what rightfully belongs to god. example: i gave a dollar of MY money to my church to see if i would be rewarded, later that day my grandmother gave me 100 dollars. im not saying give while thinking youll get something in return but give to the church and pray.

Heartless, tell her to run away from them and run fast

Lies. I take it you don't like your mother very much if you would include her in your awful lie.
