KFVS 12: 92-year-old woman kicked out of church for not tithing

  1. Shaming a 92-year old woman for not giving money to her church and then kicking her out of the congregation, where she's been a member for 50+years?

    Didn't those good Xtians know that would make the Baby Jesus cry?

    Another instance of how crazy religionists embarrass themselves by debasing the core values of their beliefs.

  2. That "anti-discrimination" law in UT is such a sham. It only ensures that the Mormon Church has the power to discriminate - which they have been doing for decades.

    1. Heather -- It's repugnant and immoral to keep people in mental bondage like that. It sounds like the FLDS without the polygamy.
