My pastor preached from the pulpit that if you are over 40 years old you are not allowed to shop at Forever 21. ?? He also mocked another pastor who fed homeless people under a bridge and said that what they really need is prayer.  ??

jesus had a thing about shopping? now, i have not read the christian bible but my understanding is that he handed out fishes and loaves, not prayers.
also he was (if he existed as described) jewish. jews don't substitute prayer for good works. if your neighbor is hungry, you feed your neighbor. it's amazing how unlike the purported jesus some of his self-professed proponents are.

                                        You need an actual church where pastors preach love & caring for the afflicted.....

                                        I don’t think I need a church at all actually  
@CoCoCatina ??????? You posted "My pastor preached...."???
@AnneWimsey I should have said “former pastor”. I’ve just very recently stopped going and I’m in a transitional period right now.
He needs to be stoned hehe

                                        No, he needs to be enlightened. He’s just doing what he’s been taught. No one deserves punishment for ignorance. I feel sorry for people who are so blinded by the continuance for ignorance that they can’t see the damage they do or the things they are missing. It’s so sad really.
@CoCoCatina stoning is a more christian way to treat him that educating him would be.
@JimG fortunately the goal here is to get away from that sort of thinking ?
@CoCoCatina I would normally agree.
sounds a real charmer

                                        He’s the most charming person you will ever meet actually. That’s the beauty of it. He’s so smooth and has everyone enchanted by every word he says that he can actually says things like this now and no one bats an eye! Blindly saying amen over and over......when I look back at it now it makes me want to vomit.
