But when when we have souls that are coming in to be saved, we are doing our job.

And guess what?

Those people that are coming in, you know what they're doing?

They're tithing.

That's what they're doing.

They're tithing.

You, Sister Takara, I'm sure your soul is crippled.

You're not coming, and you're not tithing.

You may give us a a little something when you show up.
