Banks foreclosing on churches in record numbers

[the cac mamba]

excellent news

now people can just talk to the sky in the comfort of their own homes, while getting the exact same results. without spending money

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Yeah less places for black people to congregate in a positive manner is never good regardless if you hold the same ideology of the church. People really letting their hate for religion not realize what that means.

What good has the black church done for black people as a whole in the last 50 years? I'm genuinely curious because I threw church in the bushes decades ago.

These black pastors know these stats....last church I went to last year...the pastor was going HARD on the money talk .....on the projector, they kept showing how you could text your tithes...u don't even gotta come to church...just text God's money


I'm actually thinking the for profit churches might be killing the competition.....people like that money talk more than that be like Jesus talk....some churches are growing while others are going outta business

Not like whites really need all of these black pastor pimps anymore..

I can already see how this shyt will go....

the prosperity preaching churches with their pimps/pastors will become like those big tv churchs..


all the other non prosperity churchs and the ones with pimps who can't compete will fall to the wayside.

They provide shelter, help folks network, food drives, promote literacy.....anyone saying the church is useless is an idiot.

They were key places meeting places during the Civil Rights movements, and like @Poitier said, they provide a backbone to the community that's been over shadowed the few cases where churches have been used as a business to make money rather than to uplift.

What bad have they done?

 

[Uncle Kingpin]

So what the hell they spent the tithes on? Pastor paid himself first before the bills smh...what would Jesus do?

 

[wickedsm]

I see this will inevitably turn into a church/religon bashing thread.
I'm out.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Maybe it's because I went to Catholic school or something, but this isn't something that should be celebrated. A lot of churches do really good work for the community. People see some ignorant patrons in church and assume that it's wide spread throughout the church. I still believe church helps more than it hurts.

Another sign of the last days.


Its getting close.

A lot of the loans they are taking out have balloon payments. So you make smaller payments and at the end of the loan term a bigger payment/balance is due. I don't think people are handling the accounting/budgeting correctly and aren't forecasting that larger payment into the plan.

of course not useless. but do the number of good churches out weigh the bad?

Thats unknowable. What I do know is the churches in my community saved a lot of Black folk and I'm not even religious.
