Tithing Refund

Hello, uh, I'm trying to reach uh Pastor Henry.

Uh this Pastor Henry.

Oh, how you doing, sir?

You you the pastor of uh Greater New Hope Baptist, right?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, yes I am.

Man, she's calling.

My name is Patrick.

My name's Patrick Davis.

Uh uh I went there.

How you doing, sir?

I I went there uh to your church about uh about two and a half years ago I went there and and me and uh Yeah, we got our kids baptized there at your

Well God bless on that.

I'm I'm glad I was able to do that service for you.

Okay.

Here's my reason for wanting to talk to you directly.

Uh what what is baptizing is supposed to be you cleansing them and you washing them okay.

Here's my problem.

Here's my problem.

You baptize my kids, but ain't nothing changed.

They they grade still bad, they still disobedient.

I don't see where your baptizing is done.

If you just let me finish, I don't see where your baptizing has done anything.

Now okay, now you confuse me.

I'm I'm not sure I think uh you know we need to stop this madness right now because you're talking about your money back, uh baptized.

I I'm like to baptize your kids.

I've been at this church up there for many years, so I I won't doubt that I'm probably the uh the pastor you you're looking for, but I just don't understand what you're trying to get at here about the baptism.

I'm saying you're supposed to when when when people get baptized, it's supposed to change them.

Am I right or wrong?

A cleansing, okay.

I see.

Yes, cleanse them.

But well my kids actually.

I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.

You know, I mean, because you like I said when we get to the city, my church usually handles this.

I still don't understand how you got my number.

The bottom of it is your your baptizing ain't doing nothing.

My kids still grave bad, they still disobey.

Well, you're you'll be that why they haven't been coming to church?

You say you're not going to any congregation.

Maybe you guys need to come on back to church, sit in or some sermon.

You know, I even work with you at one on one, but um I can't I can't do nothing about the grades in school.

I mean, and and and and overall behavior.

When you when you have baptized them, I should see a change in them, and I don't see a change.

Well I

I'm not getting anything.

Hey man, all at the end of the day, Pat Henry, I want my money back.

That's what that's what we have at the end of today.

That's not that's Brother Davis.

That's not how it works, brother.

You hit you understand?

I I I'm not I'm not trying to raise my voice at you, but you you're all over the you're all over the place.

You want money back.

You uh I I don't understand what can I do for you.

I can tell you next.

My kids, I done I done got them baptized over there with you.

All that time I've gone to your church, I'm paying these tithes, paying these tithes, paying these time, and I get my kids baptized and the ties don't have nothing to do with the baptism, it has something to do with all the time I spent over there, and I'm not getting anything in return.

How in the world am I gonna figure out how much time you pay?

Did you ever think about that?

I know exactly how to do it.

No, no, no, no.

You're calling my phone with this nonsense.

You're not even a uh a member of my congregation, and I I just don't like it.

So let me know.

Who do you think you're raising your voice at, Pastor?

Just because you got you're a man of the crowd, don't mean that.

Just because I'm a man raised guy, don't mean I can't cut your f out.

You understand that, brother?

If it's something you need to deal with, you need to talk to the people at the church.

Why do I need to talk to Brother Dobbs when I'm talking to you?

Because I do not have to be able to do that.

Oh, I'm the problem.

I just put a bunch of tide money, and I won't, I know exactly how much I spent over there, and I want my money back.

Brother, how about that?

That's what I care about your tithe.

I said, f your tithe.

You want me to spell it out?

Oh, well, here come things.

Are you kidding me?

Look at him, look what it's spell out.

I bet they know how to spell it.

Oh, okay.

Don't be calling me about no damn behavior issues with your kids.

Are you baptized?

That's the question you need to be asking.

Is you living your life sanctified?

Huh?

You you know what?

You know what, brother?

I I didn't got out beside myself, and I'm sorry, brother.

I I should not be using foul language against you.

I think.

what's going on.

We need to we need to get you and your children, your wife, come on down to service on Sunday.

I will sit with you as long as I can.

I truly I truly think counseling and talk is the only way out of this.

We should not be fighting on this phone.

Yes, yes sir.

Now once again I I I hope you accept my apology for my language.

Can I answer something?

Go ahead, son, I can hear you.

Okay, Brother Dobbs tells me that you and him are together.

Y'all together some mornings having coffee you and Brother Dobbs are?

Every morning did that I'm not at any uh function or doing something for the building maintenance with the church.

Right, right.

And he's saying now when y'all having coffee that y'all y'all listening to the radio is is is is that right?

Now we we let

so brother Dobbs knew about this.

He the one gave me your number

I'm too scared to cuss another word

out of my character.

I didn't think I didn't get enough for a lifetime with that.

I'ma tell you right now I'm I'm probably as real as they come and I I tell my congregation all the time I even slip up.
