It's their Father's money


They should be left to their Father to judge them from Heaven.

Who are you to judge? Cast the first stone if you not a sinner!


Religion is an organised scam...

Lol...


Offering loss for Church, Man must wack.

I was told and taught as a christian that "vengeance belongs to God"...when did he start hiring lawyers?

stealing in their father house, family affairs

2.7M Just for offering

Stealing God’s money should be a case between the thieves and God.

wait till you see a lot of bast**RDS condemning the church all in the name of trying to be a savage instead of condemning the thief.
