Tony $now I already knew you were talking about Hornbuckle before I hit the link...
For the most part these are probably just isolated incidents. But any organization with a hierarchal structure is bound to have some type of drama. Whether it is seen or heard about is another story.
I remember the last time I went with my family to church as an adult the pastor was telling the inspirational story of how he finally bought that Bentley he always wanted. Folks were applauding just the same while this is in a poor city, Norfolk with not much opportunity and none of the congregation sniffing a Bentley but gladly handing over tithes.
Yo i went to a church one time and they passed around the collection plate. Counted the money and announced they didnt get enough money and proceeded to past it around again. I was done with church after that.
Finessed em
In the white community, police officers can do no wrong even if they do and in the black community, it's pastors/leaders of churches.
Apparently the husband got arrested for threatening the pastor's life. Promised to kill him.The husband some Goku-level restraint not to go after the pastor...
Oh religion

Prosperity Gospel.An ex dragged me to her church back in my teenage years and the whole time I was looking at the preacher smiling like "you're a hustler".
He had a Benz outside, a crisp suit, a gold Rolex and other jewelry and a scandal or two in his past.
After the service and two collections he greeted me and whispered to my gf, "Your bf has the gift. He should go into ministry."
That's how I see most of these dudes. I think very few believe what they're preaching. It's a hustle to them.
White man did a doozy on the ppl they enslaved/ took over their territory ...abused ppl physically and changed mentalities n beliefsRandom question:
I'm a Muslim from the Caribbean of Indian/Chinese descent. My ancestors were brought there as slaves/indentured servants but at a much later time period and subject to much less oppression than Caribbean blacks. Most non black Caribbean people still have some ties to wherever they came from via names, religions, ethnic foods, etc. Since I was a child I always wondered how the black people around me (those in Guyana and then later on America) could go to church when they knew that black people were forceibly converted using the worst of techniques to Christianity.

I just don't get how you can get salvation from the religion of the people who stole everything from you and told you the only way to save yourself was to accept what they believe. Is this something ever addressed at black churches?
sad. cant believe the things I'm reading from yall that goes on in churches. I used to go every sunday as a kid until I was given the choice.
Never went back. But I will go on easter or new years

Pushing Religion always been a good way to give ppl under your control some "hope" and prevent them from really taking action , just rely on prayer or god to help out
