The tithe doesn’t go to a pastor, it goes to fund the whole ministry. People working full time deserve a living wage, he’s no different. Most Christians don’t tithe anyway, it’s usually 15% of the people giving 85% of the funds.
Our church distributed those millions of pounds of food on a $350k total budget each year which includes still paying mortgage on an under-maintained property. The total payroll and benefits for two full time and four part time staff was $165k last year. I don’t think they’re robbing people who chose to support that.
The vast majority of pastors are volunteers or bi-vocational. And yes there are abuses. But also lots of them giving their time and resources to care for the under-resourced. My church’'s sr. pastor is going from full time to bi-vocational this year because inflation hit the church and his family. But our church distributed 12 million pounds of food since covid
Doubt. This doesn’t take weather into account. There are always cold spots even in hot years. Plus, even in warming cycles you still set years that are a little below average. My area was below average in 2023. It’s just weather cycles but we need to communicate climate reality more accurately.
It’s a radroach!
There’s always at least one FBI agent at the US Embassy there. I’d guess there are probably a few more.
And to mess with my head, I saw there was a full FBI office in London. But then I saw it was London, Kentucky.
I have a very open view towards food that is served to me (in good faith). If you honor me by serving me a meal you enjoy I will eat it, whatever it is. If you serve me live cockroaches while laughing I’m not going to say what I’d do, bad faith gets bad actions. But I never choose to eat shrimp unless they’re served to me. I ate some last week unfortunately. In context, it wasn’t terrible.
Any liberal who supports disarming civilians is a left authoritarian.
Everyone hates Rand Paul but he voted no on this, as did others on the left and the right. Fuck fascism and fuck left authoritarianism.
I’m curious your opinion on black widows or other deadly venomous creatures? I’ve had a bunch in my car, house and yard. And I have been recommended just burning it all but I don’t have new anything money.
I’m just thinking Elon Musk got tired of being pissed on and decided to drop some dinosaur bones on the moon to fuck with everybody else. If this were actually true I’d give him a little respect.
Cannabis is better than alcohol. Much safer too.
Geologists always forget to include kryptonite.
It’s their kryptonite.
So it’s a ghoul then.
I generally agree with metric superiority, but 38° is such a random temperature. Whereas if you’re over 100 you’re too hot. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature unit. Fight me.
Way longer than that. Really they had lost ground and wanted their slaves back but they’re trying to turn us all into slaves.
I used to be pretty big into Reddit. I haven’t been back in almost a year except a couple of google search results. I do notice a difference though. There is less diversity in expressed thoughts here. I don’t miss the doomscrolling though, I can run out of new content here and I like that.
I just want affordable healthcare
I’m not pro-capitalism but I’m curious what flavor of replacement you would choose.
Just create a trans league. Trans men and trans women all in the same league. Id watch that shit, it would make money. So why don’t we have this yet?
