Religious nuts come from all denominations...retchingly awful.

Does Your Offering Count ??
A True Story some 39 years ago

An elderly couple had moved next door to a church they attended. The husband later died and her son helped her make the adjustment, and even set up a budget for her. The $10 a month offering would have to cease. The little old lady protested, but her son persisted that she simply could not afford it anymore. So she submitted to his wishes.

One morning she woke up late hearing beautiful singing coming from the church house. And the sunlight was so bright coming through her bedroom window. Looking at the clock it said 3:O'Clock. It couldn't be that late she thought as she arose and went to the window. Outside, standing between the church and her house stood a large Choir of 45 people facing her house.
Their singing being orchestrated by their leader in great sweeping arm movements as they sang on. Then she noticed it was dark all around except for the immediate area, and the bright light just seemed to appear from nowhere. Suddenly the choir stopped and they all leaned to one side as if looking at her in the window, they began blowing her kisses and waving at her, when the Leader turned around and in one big gesture, blew her a kiss and smiled. Then she recognized him, it was her husband... God spoke to her heart and said ~ these are all the souls that were saved thru your offerings over the years.

She went thru the house turning on all the lights, and called up the Pastor, who also lived close by the church. He thinking she was probably having a stroke or something hurried into her house only to find her writing a check.

Agreed. How does Money "save"? Or to quote Geo. Carlin"why does God need money?"
