re: #567 Mattand

Well, I’d feel better if the one’s doing it right grew a spine and tried to reign in the nutjobs a bit.

A lovely woman of my acquaintance was devoted to her church and congregation for some years. She often tried to get me to go with her, meet the people, and “feel the love.” Then she lost her job. Had to file for bankruptcy. Could no longer afford to tithe as she had previously. She was unceremoniously invited to leave the church and find another spiritual home more appropriate to her new status. She was devastated.

Doing it right?
