Savings Life Mans Takes Church

That's really shocking!
It's really sad that the man thought that he wouldn't go to heaven unless he did what the church wanted and handed over his money, but it's equally disgusting that the church were informed and begged by the care home manager to stop taking money from the man (who is partial a tetraplegic), and even got him to sign a tax form to claim extra money back from the government.

Sadly the man involved can't even afford his dental bills now due to this church...disgusting!

I find it sad that a church would do something like this. Putting this church in a negative light can maybe shed some light on it, and those in charge can get this issue corrected.

Yeah that sounds about right JayBee. I think that many churches want the money and are not that much into saving people and making sure they receive the word of god. I find this fact sad. I hope some charges come out of this.
