actually i hate to burst anyones over inflated bubble but the pastor has a finance department in the church who always counts the money and he does not look at tithing records...sorry
I don't remember this being about your church. If it is your church they are talking about then you would know better than I.
Unfortunately, most if not all, the ministers I know of have knowledge of who pays tithes and how much.
I have seen many cases of ministers not touching certain subjects because the ones who pay the biggest tithes are 'involved' in that 'sin'.
As for over inflated bubbles you have the wrong person if you think I have an over inflated bubble going on. The only thing over inflated about me is my belly. =)

haha...no actually i am the husband...ha i know you cant tell by the lovinglife name.(it was my lurker name till i decided to come out of lurk land) .......and much of the bubbles statement was said in defense of statements made ( but maybe taken the wrong way) about keeping the tithes or overlooking things as long as they pay tithes...i made the statement an open one to who ever was thinking such... (one last thing the only other church i didnt mention earlier that is in tampa area was reckharts.......) jk

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Has anyone even considered the thought that after being in this good church for a while that the lady in question might just have a change of heart and decide to quit wearing those 'britches'?
I almost added j/k at the end of the sentence, but I'm actually serious.

Since you apparently attend the church in question, tell Bob and Lisa that the Pianoman of Nashville said "Hi!"
He's been bragging a little about his golf game, so see if you can find out the truth! I don't want to look bad when I play him!

He said he really likes the church, so I would suppose he'll be there this weekend unless he goes on a vacation. Tell him Pianoman is practicing and getting in shape for the golf challenge!
