DONALD TRUMP'S SPIRITUAL ADVISER PAULA WHITE SUGGESTS PEOPLE SEND HER THEIR JANUARY SALARY OR FACE CONSEQUENCES FROM GOD
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-spiritual-adviser-paula-white-suggests-people-send-her-salary-775228
Paula White, who heads up the presidents evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of first fruit, which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.
"Right now I want you to click on that button, and I want you to honor God with his first fruits offering, she said in a video shared to her website, in which she encourages her followers to donate to her ministries to get blessings from God.
If God doesnt divinely step in and intervene, I dont know what youre going to facehe does, she said.
Explaining the principle of the donations, the Pentecostal televangelist, who has recently spoken out in defense of Trumps mental health following claims in a tell-all book that the president is unwell, suggested that people would reap rewards after donating to her.
Yes, MAGAts. Please do. Give it all up to your grifter god

Here's the truth
We should call the alliance Jonestown2 - they are a cult om the way to self destruction as they drinkthe Kool-aid of propaganda preaching hate and deference to them in all areas.
It's them or rational society. I'm on the rational side. Fuck them!!.

If someone told you that their friend would set you on fire unless you complied with their wishes, they could be prosecuted for that.
That fact that the existence of their "friend" is unconfirmed doesn't make this any less of a threat.

I am thinking of buying a cheap pack of play money and sending some.

(1,178 posts)How many people fall for this and can't see through the act that gets put on. I often compare it to psychic readers or carnies. Doing whatever they can to get more and more money out of people. Once they sink their teeth into a person's financials, they don't quit. Then the audacity to make people feel guilty if they don't give or give enough, or attempt to scare them.....doesn't seem very christian-like to me.

I'm totally in support of MAGAts giving their month's wages to this woman. Many government contractors have lost a whole month of pay and will never get back pay. Some have also lost their health insurance or missed a rental/mortgage payment.
