A heated conflict between a pastor and the followers of a Church generated controversy on TikTok, especially due to the statements of the highest authority of the place.
The pastor got angry because some of the faithful decided not to pay tithing, a religious contribution, and he began to yell at them.
First, he said that tithing is an obligation: “The bylaws of the Church and the membership 101 that you signed clearly say that the pastor has authority.”
Then, the faithful got angry and confronted the pastor: among the uproar, there were shouts that said “we’re all leaving.” Given this, the authority responded “everyone go” and called the police.
Once the officers arrived, the pastor’s wife began to ask them to leave and begged them not to speak to her: “don’t talk to me, I’m not interested.” A follower of hers replied: “Why don’t they let us talk? They are there for us.”
Finally, all the faithful withdrew from the place accompanied by the police.
Along with the video, the person who shared it wrote: “The pastor bought the temple with money from the congregation but put it under the name of his son, wife and himself. When they claimed him, the police threw them out ”.
The repercussions on TikTok
Among the thousands of comments, the most prominent were the following: “A pastor is a servant, not a collector”, “If you see a ‘pastor’ like that, run away”, “That is not a pastor, he is a dictator”, “Pastor of money “, among others.
