My sister was in one of those huge prosperity based religions and she started rocking the boat. She wanted to help the poor, well, that didn’t come off well and she started getting ostracized.
On Valentine’s day her house burned to the ground and they pretty much told her the same thing. God’s vengeance and displeasure.
The funny thing was is the reason they couldn’t/wouldn’t start a ministry for the poor is that they had gotten way over their heads in debt and were just trying to make it from week to week.
She and her husband are looking for a place to live and neither of them want to live in the Bible Belt any longer, they think the people are meaner than more secular places.
I’m certainly praying for her to find a faith home and I did tell her to study “Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth”.
I have NEVER been in a church that would say those things. I don’t doubt that there are people who would, but I’ve never heard it. Most Protestant churches gather around those in our midst who have suffered losses. We don’t heap condemnation on them.
