Televangelists must hate this line in the bible "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God"
Apparently it does not bother them. Sheeple obviously don't care by keeping them repulsively rich
@@luvyatubersThey think if they're faithful and tithe long enough, God will make them that rich, too.
@@ResidentMilf you are probably right for some but for some others I think they know they will never be rich. They give to be a member for the feely feels. They may never have shite but they to get be in the same huge room with someone who does. And eat those yummy church pot luck meals
Nah, they love it, they use it constantly to get people to give them money.
Televangelists are conman who no more believe what they say than any other conman.
By their own words, they would all end up in hell for eternity.
I think some of them have such a persecution complex that they would try to claim the pearly gates were actually false gates. My guess is that they already know they're going down, so they might as well shoot for a high score.
I have a fundie aunt and uncle and they run a church.
My mom still gives them money each month even though she doesn't even attend.
My aunt and uncle live comfortably.
Those donations go straight into thier pockets
I remember my Nan hiding her money in envelopes to hand into the basket that got passed around at church because she didn't want to be judged for how little money she was able to give to the church she went to. That judgment on every action you take is something I do not miss. I'm glad I got out of there.
Maybe you should just use an empty envelope and pad it out with some stones or bits of wood. Maybe even an old newspaper. Make it look like you are giving lots.
I can almost guarantee she got judged if she was one of the only ones putting it in an envelope. People would be thinking, “what is she hiding” and likely come to the conclusion that was because she wasn’t giving much and the pastor would know and likely judge her on it too.
I find people who go to church are often the most judgmental and always like to gossip (partly because they use it as a status symbol) so anything unusual like that would be instantly picked up on.
If most other people used envelopes then that is different.
My granddad ran the village shop and the only reason he went to church was for appearances, people wouldn’t have bought from him if he didn’t show himself to be a devoted Christian.
It’s all quite amazing how the most religious people tend to be the nastiest and most judgemental and don’t practice what the religion is supposed to be about.
@@conorstewart2214 There we’re a couple people who placed money into envelopes, from child memory, they were all the people my Nan was friends with, and most likely all probably came up with the idea to still contribute, but to not be judged for it. Once I was old enough to fight back, I made it apparent that I was not going to church. I know that probably brought great shame to my Nan for my sudden disappearance, but I was a 13 year old closeted gay kid who was sick of being told they were possessed by demons and needed spiritual healing. F that.
I will agree, the most catty, bitchy and judgmental people that I have met are those that go to church, using religion as a shield for their awful personalities. They’re hollow. Watching through the eyes of a child, it was like watching mannequins walk around and pretend they’re human. Even their facial expressions are almost robotic and very uncanny valley. I know not everyone is like that, but those with common sense and empathy tend to not be devout or have that awful sickly sweet smile that looks like a skin-walker trying to smile.
Genuine people will have genuine smiles usually.
@conorstewart2214 as jaclyn said....they prey on and take advantage of the vulnerable/elderly, etc.....😒🤦♂️🤬
Pastor just listing off all the stuff he wants to buy with your money
No kidding!!! They're so obvious it's insane
@@shelbyk7675right baby
Praying away mildew?! That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard 😂
Why? He said it worked
idk that MilDeuteronomy joke was pretty silly 😋
real 😂
Did a double take on that one! 🤣 The devil's mildew 🤣
But normal praying is sensible 👌
These evangelists are predators and should be locked up.
I'm so grateful I grew up in the religious circles I did. We go to church still (deconstructing still figuring it all out) but there is never pressure to tithe. The past couple years one of our animals has had a lot of very expensive health issues. I was talking to my mom about how we just can't tithe right now because we are dealing with his medical issues and she just shrugged and said "hey, you're following one of the first commands, take care of the animals and the earth"
And that was that. I can only imagine how horrific it would be to feel pressure to tithe or lose your support system and community 💀
Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool -- Mark Twain
“Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool.”
― Voltaire The problem with attributes on the internet, is you are not certain if they are correct or not. Abraham Lincoln.
You reject religion, yet you believe in human rights, you believe in fighting evil and enjoining good. These are made up human constructors or your personal judgement. There is no proof!
Nah, it's when smart people realized they could use fear of the unknown to control brutes.
Once society had organized the brutes into armies, the con men recycled the idea.
Mark Twain, who's real name is Samuel Clemens, gave money to his Christian church. He went back and forth on religion, and you can read all it about on his Wikipedia page.
*"The goodness, the justice, and the mercy of God are manifested in His works"*
My family stopped going to one church when one Sunday, the entire “sermon” was basically a commercial for the church trying to increase tithing and showcasing testimonies of families giving 10%+ of their incomes to the church. I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL and could feel how wrong it was.
That's evangelism, and it has as much to do with Christianity as Scientology does with Science.
I used to be in leadership for my church. I had been considering leaving for a while; but when our pastor had a whole sermon on tithing, I was done. I left that night and haven’t looked back.
@@SavvyMuhon Good, that's not a church, it's a scam.
@SavvyMuhon My mom pulled us from our main church as a child because at a funeral the preacher OUT LOUD SAID "Well she faced God's will finally for all that drinking and driving..." while her kids were sitting there losing it!
Every church we ever went to was similar, preacher on a money hungry power trip so eventually my parents gave up on going to church all together 😂
@@brooklynnbailey4356 Conman have no decency.
“I’m way more forgiving than the Lord!”
Ain’t we all, Jaclyn? 😁
21:18 Wait, didn't the Simpsons do an episode where Lisa was doing a mission trip, and then she was about to die and it cut to like PBS telethon and they were like, "if you wanna know what happens, donate money to keep the channel going" as like a joke. This totally reminds me of that, lol.
it was Homer, but yes :D
Miracles happen blanket... Sleep with your church secretary under it
I laugh so hard at this
That mil-Deutoronomy pun was so bad it made God an atheist
I’m exChristian, now a neoPagan, netherless, I’m studying at my college to be a future historian which includes religious studies and NONE of the Abrahamic religious books say you tithe, you give what you can, yes, especially more to charity, but not titihing because that’s fucking expansive 😭
This brought back memories of being in a mega church service with a guest speaker (don't remember his name, wasn't any of these guys), where he defended that he HAD to fly in a private jet, because being uncomfortable on a commercial flight had many negative effects, mostly which seriously messed with his "anointing" to speak at an event. (I remember sitting there thinking to myself, NO - you're just an entitled diva preacher). My husband at the time worked as the second hand assistant to the lead pastor. We got to visit the main preacher's family home on occasion. It was a 5,500 SF home in a country club, owned by the church. Him and his wife both drove luxury cars, wore designer clothes. I remember on one occasion visiting, watching our pastor in his backyard talking to some young business man saying "It ain't Beverly Hills, but it ain't bad!", while the two were standing there drinking wine and smoking cigars. I just wondered what the rest of his church members would think if they could see that candid moment I witnessed. (The drinking wine didn't bother me in particular, and he used to say in church "smoking won't send you to hell, it will just make you smell like you vacationed there.") This was a long time ago. I'm no longer religious at all, this type of stuff being one of many factors why.
That's amazing you caught such a candid moment, I am glad you were able to leave such a parasitic relationship- the pastor sucking money and time out of you and your family. But I have to admit the line about smoking is pretty funny😅
God loves you, and he needs your money! -- George Carlin
I used to think Jesus was tithing 90% to me. The church loved that line. I vomit at that thought now
It's even better when you're forced to go to Baptist church w/ Gma, as an already adult-looking 13-yr-old, would also be glared-at for 'passing it on'. Especially great that, after my Gma spent 60yrs giving every week to the church, I myself suffered sudden kidney & heart failure at age 27, lost my power & almost got evicted while I was in a medical coma, all because when it really came down to it, not only did my own religious family do anything to stop it, but the church was made aware of it & offered no more than their typically useless "thoughts & prayers" to help. ✋️🙄
10% truly is a lot! Especially to those tight on a budget. Hard earned money straight into the pastors pocket!.. I feel deeply for those manipulated by these wolves in sheeps clothing, hiding behind "god"
The Mormon church is a multi billion dollar industry. It’s so disgusting people are going without food, housing and healthcare and they’re sitting on billions! Convincing the gullible they can’t get into heaven without being current on their 10%
Have you watched Grimm?
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle No, I haven't! Is that a show or movie?
@@shelbyk7675 It's a show.
Not only that, they expect 10% before taxes. They loved to specify that at my old church
I would get a bunch of those fake 20's the sunday crowd aholes come in with to tip the staff at the closest restaurants to the church and tip off the church every chance i got
I'm so glad you still make videos about this , I have a good laught at these snippets of stuff 😂 talking to mildew
I swear I'm not religious anymore 😂 my name's just literally church 😂😂
When I see these Churches saying jesus needs money.. I immediately think 'what does god need with a starship?'
I love your videos and glad I found your channel forever ago. As a child I suffered a lot of spiritual/religious abuse from my moms conservative Pentecostal religion being forced on me. Even as a child I always remember thinking “if god was real and he’s this much of an asshole then why would I wanna worship that guy?”
"You should give your money to god, not buy jewels or fancy clothes!" says guy who is absolutely keeping that money to spend it on jewels and fancy clothes
Your hair looks SO pretty! Also, I agreed with your take on all the greedy church people too.
It would be nice if you could do more AITA related to atheist/religious clashing (I think there are a few stories about religious people trying to force others to go to church, or about people getting weird about non-married couples sleeping together/sharing a room).
“And if you don’t give me money, you’ll be burning up in Hell” 🔥
This was pretty fun! You should make more r/AITA videos on other topics.
In Judaism there is a concept similar to tithing but the 10% has to go to charity. Often times people will donate to local Jewish institutions, many of which provide aid to the poor. So although everyone is expected to give 10%, those who are poor ideally get more out of the system than they give. Doesnt always work but that's the idea.
Also instead of passing a plate around, there are tzedakah (charity) boxes at pretty much every synagogue which people can put money into whenever they feel like it rather than being pressured at a specific time.
Sometimes I think about the literal thousands of dollars I "tithed" to churches before I left the faith, and I die a little inside.
I'm a saver/investor, so I would probably be $25K closer to retirement by now at an 8% annual return.
And that's not even counting the 5 years I wasted, unemployed, in a Christian cult called "Masters Commission" as a younger adult.
Probably about $150K in lost income there too.
Mormons can pay tithing online now lol
Mormans usually have money 💴
Wait...what...the omnipotent deity can't even print money...i mean ...didn't jeeeezus multiply fish in his hayday?? 😂
Please do more of these, this was fun :)
Deflation and unemployment are almost inversely related. If you very low unemployment, that could mean labor shortages. Labor shortages usually lead to inflation. So that misery index is going to have issues measuring things that way.
I’ve always wanted to hear your thoughts on the DreamWorks movie The Prince of Egypt.
Leviticus 27;30 is the only place I know of that would state anything abt it being "a rule" of sorts to give tithing...but still it doesn't state its a LAW. (GOD my forced bible study from my teen yrs have emerged from the depths of my trauma)
"God wants you to give away your money, so give them to me. No, I'm not giving away my money, no no"
I'm also an atheist, I'm on the ”Jesus likely didn't even exist” bandwagon and even *I* know he would 100% ride a donkey over a plane. Dood was the most famous for his humility and prized it above all else but kindness. There's absolutely zero chance Jesus would show off with what is likely considered the most expensive non-property related thing you can buy in our world... Maybe an aircraft carrier? A submarine?
There is historical evidence of Jesus’s existence, but him being the son of God is a whole other story
Yeah, if Jesus were alive today and there were no donkeys to ride, he’d hitchhike. He’d carpool. He’d use public transportation. Hell, he’d probably love that van life. Anything other than buy a private jet to travel and spread His gospel.
@@SavvyMuhon I've heard that and I've also heard that there is nothing Historically official that has been scientifically confirmed. This is going back a few years so there could have been evidence since. That said I just said that to make a point as to how little I know about Jesus and even *I* know this much.
I'd never heard of the Misery Index, so I took a look into how it is calculated. It only measures unemployment and inflation. It was developed in the 70's, before credit scores even existed. Employment does not equal security anymore, so I would be hesitant to rely on this figure for...literally anything.
their god is so powerful that he needs a currency made by humans (that he "created") to survive, the sheer lunacy and irony has me gagged lmao
I'm a simple person. I see a new Jaclyn video about religious nuttery, I click on it :3
MILDEW-teronomy haha from a fellow maker of puns, well played. 10/10 😂
Tithing was an important part of my family growing up. When i got my first job i was expected to Tithe. Maybe not the full 10% but i was expected to give something. When I told my grandma i don't feel comfortable giving money to the church because I can't control what they do with it (ie who they give it to and how it helps people) she told me it was okay to give that tithe directly to an organization of my choice. Tithing makes me feel good but I would never expect or try to force someone else to do it. Especially when you don't know someones financial situation. Right now i don't have the extra to tithe to an organization so i feed the local strays and have them TNRd and cared for. That's my Tithe and it makes ME feel fulfilled.
So i take care of 5 feral cats on top of my 2 indoor cats. Chester, MJ, Billie Jean, Paris, Annie (4 kittens and their dad (neutered now)) and then my two indoor voidlings, Thirteen and Moose.
I may have used this as an excuse to talk about my clowder of cats.
I like how your hair matches your room
I visited a church several years ago and they would put up a huge list of members names who didn’t tithe on Sunday and they would also have the number of times they didn’t tithe in the past. And at the bottom of the huge poster board there were bold letters that demanded that the congregation must pray that the Lord speak to their hearts and move them to repent for their vanity and selfishness. I had never seen a church publicly shaming their own members. I remember thinking that some of those folks were living on fixed incomes and were barely able to keep themselves afloat. I was blown away by how callus and cruel that was.
I guess I am pretty fortunate to have been born into an atheist family.
You are lucky, I was born into a Muslim family. Fortunately they are quite liberal, but they still expect us to be believers.
Tbh, when I ended up going to church for social reasons (someone's getting married or something). I'm not disturbing what's happening, but I also do not actively participate. I wont fake to pray, I definitely wont sing and I'm not doing communion. If I would get judged for not giving money, they can go * themselves, it's already an effort enough that I'm there and not making a fuss about it.
My old church used the money to make the inside of the church look good and pay for decorations every time they wanted to put an event rather then fix up the roof or parking lot. Yeah did not give them my money
I famously began my deconstruction from Christianity on a mission trip. We went to a Navajo reservation in Arizona (I'm in TN). I was already not really sure I was a Christian, and that trip really did it for me. We did a ton of great physical labor around the reservation, and I thought that was great. I did not understand why we had to proselytize to them as well. Why couldn't we just do work for them because they're human beings who need a door on their home or a well for water? And all the other people I was with were so proud of themselves for telling the Native Americans about Jesus. I just felt disgusting and didn't participate in that part. It felt condescending and racist.
As if indigenous people need more Christianity... Glad you got your sense back

Loved the video, keep them coming
My aunt was super religious and in the last few years of her life when she was struggling to survive with Alzheimer’s and a severely autistic child dealing with massive medical bills living on social security and her church not only took 10%, but over 30% of her income and if you didn’t give they would publicly chastise and shun you.
My dad was very Christian and was strict about tithing (10% of our household income plus the kids had to give 10% of our allowance - we only got allowance to practice how to tithe and manage our money for god). After he died, my mom got a job at the same church we grew up in as a bookeeper. They called mondays “count the money mondays” to see how much cash they got the day before. My moms an atheist now after seeing how churches really work.
A video on the movie Soul Surfer would be interesting, it's about a girl who got her arm bitten off by a shark IRL, it's a low-key Christian movie that implies she got her arm bitten off because she was training for a surfing competition instead of going on a mission trip.
The Story of O by Pauline Reage would make for an interesting video topic, its a short french bdsm book from 1955 and it is insane.
Bethany Hamilton, right? I… I severely hope that she didn’t ACTUALLY think that her shark bite was due to her not being Christian enough >_
@@SEGASisterI read her book. It's basically compared to Jonah not going to ninevah and getting held captive in the seabeast until he submitted. Her injury was seen as some warning from god and a way for him to use her journey for his "glory" 🤢
Jaclyn thank you for giving me yearssss of my life back, I accused my laundry of being a curse and it did disappear and I then found it clean and folded thank you thank you
our pastor threw a hissy fit mid sermon about tithing saying : I need to be paid !.
multiple times on multiple weeks , mind you he's the only one taking the money while the rest of us are ''volunteers'' unwillingly , to set up , tear down , play instruments, child groups and greeting.
lost all respect for him
Mildeuteronomy. Good one. 😂
Next time I need to do laundry, I’ll just pray about it instead😂
I'm laughing so hard because an ad for Hallow: Prayer and Meditation was at the beginning of this.😹
Awesome video Jaclyn!
For money being not worth anything in the afterlife, God sure needs a lot of it.
The pastor I had never lied and said it was for God, he always let us know it was for his church, to pay for his church, his honesty is what made people donate more. It’s a small town so we all knew how much he paid to not only have his home next door but to also pay for bills for the church
Any organization, institution, person, or company that guilts you into giving them your money doesn't deserve it.
I totally agree with everything you said! I remember when I went to church when my kids were little and not having enough money to live let alone give to the church and thinking things would never get better because we didn't! I grew up in church so that's all I knew at that time! I've been an agnostic for years now and never been more peaceful about that sort of stuff! To me not knowing what comes next after we die is the only truth! And if the Christian god is real I don't want anything to do with a murdering narcissistic ass hole god like that!
Why do these televangelists sound satirical? lol. Like the heavy southern accent and the joke about remembering a credit card number is giving South Park unreality
Ok this might be the most 'real' ad read I've seen on youtube
Ah, Kenneth Copeland. My mom took care of one of his elderly relatives for a time when I was a niblet. I got to meet the man - first of all, he's incredibly short. I, a then pre-teen, was almost taller than him. Secondly, his eyes and facial expression reminded me of a rattler about to strike a nice juicy mouse. Pre-teen me was unnerved by him to say the least. I was glad I only had to stand there and see him for a short time - Mom packed up and we left about ten minutes later.
She's back! Just as witty as ever. Thank you for your service to mankind. Just a thought, but wouldn't the US be awesome with Neil Degrasse Tyson as president and JaclynGlenn as vice president.
Great video @JaclynGlenn
I love how you call out their bullshit.
And may I say that you are glowing and look beautiful!!
Question for anyone, how do I tell my mom that I am deconstructing out of my religion without offending her? I'm starting to question my faith and need advice. Thanks in advance and have a good day!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, best of luck for your deconstruction! It's difficult but you will come to know yourself better. If religion is very important to your mom, there's a good chance she will be upset while she adjusts to the news. Give her time to adjust and make sure you have support for yourself. I would advise against getting into debates about religion with close family members, its usually frustrating and doesn't lead anywhere. I come from a very religious missionary family, my parents were definitely upset at first but they got used to it, our relationship is mostly good these days. Good luck and be safe!
@silviahopkinson2487
Religion means a lot to her. Not so much to me though anymore. I'm chronically I'll with Fibro and RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis). And I have prayed to God and asked him to help me with pain and at first I thought my pain was going away but no. My pain is 10X more than usual. So I feel that God has "forsaken" me and decided that I'm not worth saving.
But I'm glad your family is doing good and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice night!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@ButNowTheyOnlyRicochet253check our @MindShiftSkeptic. He has some videos about dealing with family during deconstruction that are pretty good.

I'll never get over the religious ads on all of your videos 😂😂

YES..... SHES BACK, I HAD TO KEEP WATCHING her old vids 😍😍😍
Fantastic video!
That "not talking for months to years then out of the blue asking for money" situation is such a common M.L.M. tactic, they have an industry nick-name. They literally call them "Hey Girl! Messages," or even just sending their daily "Hey-Girls" for short. Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss.
I've never seen anyone be that honest about their sponsors.
Tithing is 10% but there isn’t judgment if you don’t or can’t.. if your church judges you like that, you’re going to the wrong church
There’s no word of God, only words of men pretending to be God. I do believe in God, but I’ve never believed that I have to go to church or any of that. My relationship with God is between me and him and no one else. That’s just how I see it.
I'm Italian, I'm atheist now but I was raised Catholic.
Nope, nowhere in the book it says to donate a certain percentage of the money you make.
When I was little, they would pass a box with a slit on it so no one could see how much you donated, and it was often small change.
I've been told that they've stopped asking for donations during the services, but it might be at the priest's discretion
Yeah the tithe is defined as crops only, not cash money. Abraham did give 10% of the spoils of war to Melchizedek the high priest, but this wasn't a requirement. So I drop off the 6-7 tomatoes from my plants at the local church in a brown paper bag. Tithing complete.
I went to a church for about 6 months where they wanted you to give everything, even keeping money for essentials like a toothbrush was considered selfish. Tithing was never enough! That was for the Christians who didnt really believe god. The real Christians apparently, gave offerings which could be any amount. And it was considered much more faithful to give from your credit card. 10 years, an epiphany that i was raised in a cult and a bunch of deconstruction later, I'm still paying for those "offerings" from my credit card. Damn is it good to be an atheist and laugh about this now but they really get in your head when you believe this stuff.
Branson, MO is an hour away from my house...so that's wonderful?- not... as they say "thoughts and prayers" lol
As kids, we were given $1 each so we could participate and not get the side eye from the elders.
Shocked that the reason for the jet wasn't to preach to others in other places like it was such an easy answer
Death of a salesman, Jesus.
Revisiting your videos after 6 years away from your channel reminds me why I ran away from the religious cult in the first place. I can be religious WITHOUT being in the cult or the church! 😂
Jacky I rediscovered your channel because I’m a fan of your husband’s music and had the privilege of seeing him live in concert twice when he was on tour!! Gosh that man can sing!! He’s got a pair of lungs that will launch earthquakes in the stadium!! 😂😍
Girl!! Love the lip color! So pretty 😊 lol you are hilarious too btw 😂
Just in case 8 people haven't already quoted George Carlin: "He loves you, and he NEEDS MONEY!"
Living for that hair colour!! ❤
As a wiccan, these types of Christians scare and disgust me so much, it makes me want to scream and cry, and I'm not even involved with them directly thank the gods.
i’m a pagan now but growing up in the church i did they actually had tithing boxes around the sanctuary so that if you wanted to give you could do so privately however! i also grew up feeling shame every time i went to church because i didn’t have any money to give and was pressured to give things like birthday and christmas money when i could
I curse you for 1000 years for the mildew quote
Here in Europe (Catholic Church or Lutheran/Reformed Church) they also pass the basket. But no one would expect you to put more than 1-2 euros in it. A lot of people just pass the basket. No one bothers. This tithing seems be more an American/Evangelical/Baptist thing.
You should do a deep dive on Jim Bakker & his history. He ran PTL & went to jail for a few years in the 80s/90s.
today I learned what tithing is... wild
i’m a christian who loves your videos fr but i’d never ever give money to these huge televangelist churches… and so many churches abuse the tithes quite unfortunately, using the money for things the members of the church don’t agree with and don’t like. for example, a couple pastors were kicked out of a church some ppl i know go to because they kept wasting all the money on projects that didn’t even last because they were so poorly orchestrated and done so so incorrectly. thousands of their savings from tithes and whatnot wasted on nothing when that money was supposed to be for repairs, their food pantry, etc. they have a good system again now that the old pastors are gone, and not all churches abuse tithes. i fortunately do attend a church that uses the money for the bills, repairs/improvements, etc. things it should ACTUALLY go to. but i’ve heard some nasty nastyyy stories online n stuff of money being abused…
The worst thing about these mission trips or college kids going out to “volunteer” is that most of the time it makes no real difference, a short and temporary boost but that is it. Their main purpose is to help people with nothing better to do feel like they have done good.
Oh wow you gave them 4 weeks of English lessons, that will make such a big difference.
Oh wow you installed a water pump, what will happen when it breaks down in a month?
I grew up in a Catholic Church that just recently shut down because a bishop stealing the tithing
That "warning may contain sarcasm" is properly the funniest way I have seen anyone get around RUclips misunderstanding a joke as misinformation.
Great video
