Dear editor,
I am absolutely sick of hearing how many so-called churches and ministers of religion routinely accept tithes (money donations) from elderly, vulnerable, often dementia-stricken, poor people who have so little they can hardly replace their shoes if they need to, but still want to offer a tithe.

Is it not the duty of these so-called ministers and holy people to tell these elderly folk that they are NOT obligated at their stage in life to give tithe?
I know of one woman in her 80s or 90s, living on nothing but a pension and the goodwill of a few family and friends who sometimes struggle to meet her needs, and there a people from the “church” coming to accept tithe from her.
Do they have no shame? And she, in her slavish devotion to tithing, is happily surrendering the pension money she should be using to feed herself.
Do these people have no shame at all? Many of these elderly people grew up in a time when they were brainwashed to believe that if they did not give the church their money, God would kill them with lightning.
There ought to be a law against religious organisations accepting tithes or encouraging tithing when it comes to low-income elders in society.
Shameful. And they wonder why churches are empty. Plain wickedness.
Sincerely,
A God-fearing prostitute on Popeshead Street

God didn’t gateoritise who should pay tides so what if church take tides doesn’t medical an social take benefits from you all???? How are they different u must not know your Bible or church or even God because ur statement ur speech is completely nonsense,you are a baphone
The person who wrote this article is as dunce as a rusted doornail in the middle of the Sahara desert. Maybe if you read your Bible and understand what tithes are, you would not have wasted precious valuable time writing it.
Respectfully. . .be quiet. A true person of God knows he WILL provide. Tithe is required from God not the churches. If you’re speaking of offerings now, that’s different. However, is the pastor supposed to write a letter to each person in the congregation & say if you’re over a certain age and struggling not to give? Is the pastor knocking on doors begging for these donations from the elderly? Sounds like you’re projecting. Not you begging government to overthrow the word of God. Awdjyt 🤣
Without tithes and offering the churches can’t do anything I know of alot of churches give back weekly and monthly to people of the different communities and some of them don’t go to church and the church still give .so I don’t agree with that article
u have a point here..is all a damn scam n fuck what dem ppl here a say
Social Security, Medical Benefits and Education…..hmmmmmm….Comparing them with church tithes…..When u have reached retirement age u will start to receive Social Security pension…..If u get sick and need medication or medical assistance u can get that from MBS, Education contributions goes towards upkeep of schools, supplies etc……..I think A church can ask for donations for upkeep of the church building and property…..There should be no specific amount u give what u can whenever u can…..I don’t agree with churches dictating how much one should donate…..That’s always been my stance…
Sadique Armstrong maybe your church does good with donations but many just trying to make pastor get rich and buy a new pickup……So I think it depends of the place where u worship…..I still believe u give what u can when u can no body from church supposed to say Sadique we know u making good money do better than that nuh…..No way!!! Give what u can afford….
You this writer should be charged for being so Dumb. You seem to have an axe to Grind..Who from the Church exposed you?Your article is a lie from the pit of hell You sound like a sick derange person.I don’t think you really care for the elderly.I think you are setting up yourself to Rob the elderly
Wow 😲😳😳😳 I see some people is still drench in slavery mentality. You all are just fucking wicked to you all selves talking about giving money to church. Bunch of idiots, the person is damn right churches should not be taking no money from poor old people you all are to horrible. These big big mansion church pastors with there large houses big vehicle, living like millionaires on poor old people back is evil and wicked. Shameful situation it is. And some of you come on here chatting shit. The upholder is worse than the theif.
Honey, these ‘Christians’ today don’t care about taking care of the elderly, poor or mentally unstable. That pretty much went out the window when they stopped caring about sin and sound doctrine. Many of them gossip, lie, steal, harbor jealousy, malice for one another as well as engage in sexual fornication with one another. Not to mention the fact that many of them are lazy and refuse to listen to what the Bible so clearly says. They would rather get fat off of their own abundance and feed off the false teachers they hold so dear to their hearts. People like Benny Hinn, TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, Jentezen Franklin, Joyce Meyer etc. Then they wonder why people aren’t going to their church services anymore. Thats because these ‘Christians’ today aren’t examples of Jesus Christ. They’re just hypocrites pretending to know God. No one wants to fellowship with these people because they’re fraudulent.
@ Charlie…….Did u actually read ur BS before clicking post comment???? U seem like one who giving all your funds to the pastor oops I meant church….U seem brainwashed and slow enough….
A tithe is 10% of your income. You can’t tithe if you don’t have an income. A person is free to give an offering but it is completely voluntary. Jesus himself warned us of false teachers and even false christs so not everything that claims to be Christianity is. Many churches, if not most, take care of their elderly members. They don’t do it to be seen and we all know, we are more likely to notice what we are looking for than what we aren’t
long time I never heard a church build a house for a member who lives in critical conditions or sponsor children of the faithful a scholarship, and it’s always the poorest member in the church who always gives much.
I concur with this person, in the USA and other white nations the church organization build retirement home for their people, but you got to remember that’s how Columbus and the royal family got their wealth by taking it from poor black people around the world by force and murder, and played out a psychological fairytale about a real estate in the sky you will go to call heaven.
But the churches in the Caribbean will only build a shack without lavatory if they have to have to for the elderly,
The system of church talking about the classics like John and Matthew is a method of keeping the black people stupid and controlled, it’s time that these church organization runs technical college to help improve the people lives.
The ethno supremacists ideology perpetuated through a blue eye blond Italian painting of god commission by the conference of nicea or the royal family was given to us as illiterate slaves back then and still obtain up to this day.
The royal family took all the lands by force all around the non white world saying they keeping the land for god, hence the reason the name crown lands exist.
We need to decolonize god and religion and education in order to realize our full potential
El dead is at it again, babbling pure BS!.I’m he/she is the only one impressed by his/ her tedious tirades! Has become even comical! 😁😁😁
The [church], no matter the denomination or ideology, they are a FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS operating under the guise of a non-profit and the catapult to Zion, heaven, nirvana, enlightenment for centuries.
It’s time to tax the churches, remove whatever concessions, that they get, tax them accordingly, and let’s see how many remain open.
I…use the newly generated funds to fund:
(i)….healthcare in particular mental health.
(ii)…non-partisan Community Centers void of politician control.
(iii)..law enforcement equipment.
The [church] does not employ a significant amount of people and most of the work which they require to be done are done so through volunteerism.
The food which they prepare and serve can be and are easily obtained, as donations from other businesses who’ll write these gifts off on their tax returns.
Fool me once 🦉🤣… please check out George Bush Jr. for the best comment yet on, fool can’t fool a fool.
Please be reminded, before you comment like a #Rabid_Pit_Bull, I’ve already dug three(3) graves, at sea not at Tranquility Part though. I’ll only chill invisible under a Tamarind Tree sipping, #nu_nu tea and hitting a spliff.

Nah kill me. Me cyar tek you seriously with a moniker like that!!! If she was really God fearing she’d know what she is doing is displeasing to him and find honest work.
She obviously have an axe to grind with the church and obviously don’t understand her bible nor spiritual principles. But hold.on, neither do so many of the others who supporting her. You not giving church your money, fine keep it. But for those who do give and understand why LAY DEM LONE PLEASE. How much money you done spend pan obeah man and the thing still no happen????
Plenty of you spend money on foolishness that not helping you move forward in life. When you ever give to the poor????
Bunch a hypocrites.
Let who want to give, give. Hold.on to your money, church don’t need it.
Wow, unbelievable, I read through the comments some completely and some just partly and having an understand of where the individual commenters stand and for the ones who against the writer those responses was very vicious I wonder what kind of Christian are you. Why be so vicious have an open mind. I am not a church going person but if you look at the situation it sounds very cruel for church members to go around collect tides or accepting tides from poor and elderly persons and not understand their financial status, it is wrong and the churches have to be more considerate about collecting tides and how they treat the poor and needy.
