BAINBRIDGE, GA – Ms. Josephine King of Bainbridge, Georgia is no longer welcome through the doors of the church where she has worshiped for over 50 years. The 92-year-old was recently given the stunning news in the form of a letter signed by her pastor.
Ignoring Ms. King' numerous health issues and inability to attend church, Senior Pastor Derrick Mike’s reason for excommunicating one of First African Baptist Church’s oldest members came down to her not dropping enough money into the offering plate on Sunday mornings.
“Josephine King is no longer considered a member of the First African Baptist Church of Bainbridge, Georgia." The explanation given was that Ms. King “has shown non-support” towards the congregation in areas of“constant and consistent financial and physical participation.” D.C. Clothesline.com
Come out of her and be yea separate seems to have been overlooked in the reading of The Word by this "pastor" as his actions seem much like the world of the twenty-first century.
Reading about this place I decided it is just a cult.
ReplyDeleteGuess there are baptist churches and then there are "baptist" churches. Getting more difficult to tell the sheep from the goats.
DeleteShe has probably figured that out as well.
