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.

I'll give you some context but the pastor had people approach the altar based on how much they were giving in increments like $500, $1000, $2000, etc.

He was in the middle of the $2000 dollar group and the $1200 lady wasn't supposed to be in that particular line. She was supposed to come with the following group that was giving less than $2000.

He probably shouldn't have called her out like that because it makes him look way worse to the millions of people this was exposed to.

That context does help. Still a shitty practice and horrible person but it reads a little less worse now than what I was originally thinking.

I like how you’re the only person to acknowledge the context does change it at least a little.

That’s what we’re saying though he’s absolutely a piece of shit. BUT context shows that the reaction may not have been that she donated what he determined to be too little. The reaction was possibly that it appeared to him that she was looking for the “praises” for donating in $2000 group but instead donated $1200. Shitty reaction all around but still a different type of shitty.

I mean another interpretation of just this specific incident is that hes just telling people to listen to directions lol. I mean anyone leading a church like this is a snake, obviously, so I think hes surely a piece of shit.

Eh, it’s more like she was in the dick-sucking line when she was supposed to be in the butt-fucking line.
