Texas Pastor Refuses To Bury 93-Year-Old Woman Because She Didn’t Tithe Enough
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time for being grateful for all that we’ve been blessed with, but according to Fourth Missionary Baptist Church pastor Walter Houston, it’s a day where you can refuse to bury 93-year-old woman because he feels she didn’t give enough.
“It was like the last insult in the world,” Barbara Day said, according to KRMG.
Day went on to say that her only wish was for her mother to be buried “in the church that she loved and worshiped all of her life, even as a little girl.”
Day said that her mother was a church member for 50 years but had been sick for nearly a decade, and in a coma for the last 24 months.
Preacher watchdog Tyrone Jacques met with Houston to ask him to reconsider burying the elderly woman.
Houston refused and told him Blair was, “no longer a member of the church because she had not supported it financially in the last 10 years.”
Day said, “All they care about is getting money money money money money!”
Even after Jacques offered to pay for the funeral service, Houston refused.
When he asked why he said Houston responded, “Membership has its privileges.”

“Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do”, or something like that?
Larry Schmitt November 26th, 2014 at 20:36
No, more along the lines of that preacher from a few years ago: God damn him!

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money”

That should be, “Forgive them father, for they know what they want”. :P

We know there’s a real thing called “The cost living”, but this takes the cake.

Once did some electrical work at a church; overheard the head guy telling his people that it was “A business, and we can’t afford to lose money”.
Guy had a nice suit on…

My pastor comes out sometimes wearing a bow tie and shorts. He’s a down to earth guy, highly intelligent, and he practices what he preaches. Crazy, HUH?

BLASPHEMY!
How will his parishioners know the bounty that the Lord bestoweth upon His servants, if he doesn’t wear Armani and drive a Navigator?

Tell him he’s slacking,and you want a better class of pastor, lest you wind up in Heaven with the “wrong sort”…

That is what he said in essence..poverty…damn paid his own hotel bill after election…drives a old Peugot when he can …lives simply and takes to task those in the church that don’t do likewise.
