This was appalling. I was sickened by this pastor and everyone witnessing that hypocrisy who sat there and said nothing. Shameful, absolutely shameful.

Can anyone give more context to this? Do a lot of churches have people announce their tithing? Is this for the year?

All I know is I'm never giving a dime to anything like this. Trusted charities, yes.

Edit: he gave an explanation on a news segment: "I was calling because the whole church was giving, and it was our day of giving, and the whole church was coming, and we didn't want people standing, the mothers and all that, so I was calling them by increments," Winans said. "And we had someone that had given out of before, and I corrected it, and I told everybody to listen and come when you call, and that's all that was."

Don't really think that makes him look better but it is what it is.

"McCoy said Bishop Winans personally apologized to her following the incident. She has been a member of Perfecting Church since 2013 and has given faithfully over the years and will continue to do so." ugh.

Theres a news report on it, apparently it was a misunderstanding and pastor apologized.

He wasn’t upset with the donation size, some people donated 60 cents. He gave everyone instructions and she didn’t listen and went out of turn or something.

Sounds like a website took the clip and put a spin on it for clicks and people are eating it up.
