Please tell me you watched it....
what's your take on paying tithes FIRST and not having enough money left over to pay ALL of your bills??
Taye,
I believe it's a lot more to it than most folks may be aware of:
1. Pay 10% of your earnings to the church in the form of tithes and offerings. (all religions encourage and do this in some form.)
2. Save 10% of your earnings (remember that rainy day the older ones used to tell us about back in the day)
3. Invest 10% of your earnings (not necessarily the stock market but find a vehicle that returns dividends of some kind.
4. Live off of the 70% that's left.
Truth be told some folks live 310% outside of their means to begin with. Can't help you with that one there, Pot-nah, until you start to do better by yourself for yourself. Simple as that.
I have YET to reach a 10% tithing level - yea, I know - but I figure I ain't cleaned up all the rest of my sinning, so it's a wash - Jesus has a long conversational topic list with me already - just hope you ain't BEHIND me in the 'line'...... LOL!!!!
I think it's foolish, quite frankly. They say they are sure Jesus will make a way - hell, he DID with your damn paycheck! Stop turning around and giving away the way he made!!!!!
*returning to the VERY back pew of the church.....cause I wanna be first at my car when service is over - actually I leave during the benediction, so you won't see me anyway cause yo head will be down*
I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions! I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

TRUE LOVE DOES NOT COME BY FINDING THE PERFECT PERSON BUT BY LEARNING TO SEE AN IMPERFECT PERSON PERFECTLY

Why does all black people have to have a "Hard Knock Life"???
What?! We don't? I thought that was a national requirement or sumpin. Wait a minute now... You sure you ain't one of Mista Cholly's peoples come dressed up trying to spy on us good colored folk now is ya?
The Jefferies: The daughter died from her first marriage at the age of 24
Yep. And trust me, erry time her husband brought up moving out of that high-end home that they were basically squatting in, she reminded him of that fact and that ninja calmed down until it was a forgotten issue. Then if he kept acting up on moving she broke his azz off something lovely. I tell ya: ***** The black man's Kryptonite...
(I know... I know... I'm going to the corner again. **** )
The young actor boy: His brother sold drugs and got busted a few times and got deported back to Jamaica and they lived in the house for 2 weeks on water and bread without lights. That shiott just gets on my last nerve.
Yeah where was the mama at that time? Her gwine 'pon vacation dem and ting?
And did you see the 60 yo mans wife before they got married??? She was young and vibrant and then you see her now, she looks old as heyll. What in de heyll happened to her?
**** They went broke. That'll swell a ninja up.
Since we are talking about the church and sins (or are we),
Well, I just want to get this out....
Isn't gluttony a sin? All them mofos were fat except the young actor boy. They need to preach about that!!! Maybe they need to have the "D Fat" program!! I dunno, thats just me!
Ok, I'm done now!!!

I think that they should. Good health and fitness is so overlooked in the black churches across America.
However, the only two "fat' ones on the program last night was the woman trying to hold down the household while her man was out of a job AND the woman who was trying to hold onto her McMansion after not paying her mortgage for 26 months.
So I deduce that houses make a person fat. yep... Houses put weight on ya azz obviously.
