A Missouri pastor berated his 'poor' congregation for not honoring him with a new expensive watch he asked for a year ago while reportedly delivering a sermon about 'taking care of God's shepherd.'

Pastor Carlton Funderburke, of Kansas City, was caught calling his congregation 'poor, broke, busted, and disgusted' after they still hadn't bought him an expensive Movado watch - which ranges in price from $395 to $3,295 - since he first asked for it in last year.

'I'm not worth your McDonald's money? I'm not worth your Red Lobster money?' he asked the Church at the Well congregation as he paced around on stage on August 7. 'I ain't worth your St. John Knits - y'all can't afford it no how.

Presumably this pastor receives a salary. Why can't he buy his own watch instead of trying to shake down the congregation?

I have a $200CDN Casio that is very nice.
A watch is a watch. You can get $100 Timex that does everything a person wants from a digital watch.

Begging for money is not uncommon. Who needs a watch today anyway, every where you look there’s a clock.

That’s true of some black pastors. On the other hand, some white pastors like Joel Osteen shoot just a bit higher, and go for $10 million mansions instead.

“Who needs a watch today anyway, every where you look there’s a clock.”

As the kids say today, “you mean a clock with hands?’

And many can’t read it.

You can get $100 Timex

I bought my Timex Ironman almost 30 years ago for about $29. I've replaced the battery numerous times as well as the band but it still works like new.

He is a very poor pastor and person, spiritually. It is time for him to get right before the Lord, and begin preaching the Word of God. He is not the shepherd of his flock...more like a wolf.

I had an uncle who was a pastor and felt entitled.
