Yeah, my phone okay.
Okay, that I call it the deacon board didn't have a meeting as well as uh Pastor Stolles.
And uh they didn't have the meeting and they come to the understanding that uh they gonna ask you to not come to church right now, cause that about that them boys of your Eric and James being in jail the way they is and wanna want you to just uh I don't know if they gonna suspend you from the church right now, but they uh they think it put a bad look on the church.
My kids being in jail put a bad look on the church.
Well that's what that's what's what they that's what they come up with.
Now we had a meeting with the deacon board and with Pastor Stoles.
I don't understand why y'all have a meek meeting about my kids in the church.
What my kids got to do with the church.
Well, what we trying to do is show a good example to the youth that we got there.
Okay, you can show a good example by me being there paying my tithes and offering.
Well, that was another thing that's been brought to our attention that we're gonna be calling a lot.
I'll pay my task.
I don't know.
I don't know who told you that, Dick and Byrnes.
I don't even know, first of all, who you are, and I'm not trying to be mean to you.
And I don't I don't even understand why you how you even got my phone number.
Well, no, let's I pay my tithe, I pay my offering, go on your computer at the church, call your secretary or whoever.
Well, let me let me let me ask you this, Sus Major.
Do you pay your tithe according to what you make?
Yes, I do.
Check the books.
Well, well, well now what it is that we can't check the books if we don't know exactly what you make is what I'm saying.
What I make is my distance between me and Jesus.
I give him his ten percent, and that's all Mars Hill needs to know.
Uh I understand exactly where you come from, but now the main issue on table is about these boys and and and being uh, you know, disrupted the way they are, they don't want that to be to to bleed over into the youth quiet.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Uh, first of all, I would appreciate if you would have pastor to tell me this self.
And then second of all, if somebody kids is having trouble in the world or whatever, y'all supposed to pray for them, not put them at the church or they mama.
Well, I'm I'm uh what I'm we gonna we gonna pray for and we're gonna pray for you too.
But we don't want that to shed over to the youth that we got that's doing good with that.
Well, I'm gonna keep coming.
Y'all can't stop me from coming to the church.
I'm gonna keep coming.
So I don't know who you talking to, and you pay a pastor to call me himself and tell me I can't come to Mars Hill.
And you have nobody calling me telling me that I can't come to Mars Hill.
That is a free church.
I'm gonna get the pastor called
you get the pastor to call me because you have no business calling me telling me that I can't come to God's house.
Well, sister maybe, I don't want you to get in no hook roll with me.
Now I'm not getting I'm not getting angry with nobody.
I work, I don't work 18, 16 hours today.
I don't have cash for nobody calling me telling me that I can't come to a church that I pay my calves and offering it.
Not that I own the church, I pay my cards because that's that's due to God.
But y'all really making me upset by telling me I can't come there because of my kids in their troubles.
