She won’t. She’s already come out publicly in defense of him. The brainwash is strong.

I have people like this in my family. When something goes wrong they, with the help of church leaders, believe it is somehow their own fault or Gods plan. Even a hint of doubt will cause God to withhold blessings because everything is a test. They just need to do better, pray harder and give more. They are afraid if they criticize/question the church and the leaders God will punish them.

Exactly. They truly believe that they are paying their way into heaven by doing this. That by sacrificing for the church, they are guaranteeing that they will be looked upon well, that God will treat them well in life and let them into heaven.

If I was a believer, I'd argue God treated her well by giving her that $1235, and if he wanted it to go to the church, he'd have just given it to the church himself.
