Confidentiality of Tithes

[Jay]

Bro. Epley, I have seen in the last two years much of what you described happen.

I would like to tell what happened, but I do not wish to vent or sound like I am.

I will say that there was a family that would not contribute when they were unhappy. They never went to a conference. They criticized the pastor for everything that he should/should not have done, said, contributed, spent, planned, etc. They were especially unhappy whenever he tried to make the parsonage nice for his wife. He would try to do some church repair (there is a lot of work to be done) and then do some parsonage work for his wife (she does have to live there, and it is an example of who they are). But they did not support it, and complained whenever actual work on the church ended (even when there was no more money to go forward). There is no pleasing some people.
