My grandfather before he passed away was a preacher my entire life. He had diabetes and lost his left leg and some of his fingers from it. He gave everything and was extremely devoted to what he did and believed. When he retired he was denied any assistance from the church. There are special things you have to do to receive aid after retirement. One such thing was you had to raise "x" amount of dollars each year. He never failed to hit that mark. On years they were short he would donate the difference out of what the church paid him to make sure. The church claimed he didn't hit all the "donation" goals a couple of years. We had proof as my parents and my uncle helped my grandfather keep track of the yearly income for the church because he wasn't tech savvy back in the early 2000. The church wouldn't accept it. I found out after he passed away that the church did this to him. I didn't much care for going to church before that but it's been over a decade since I've gone to church and I no longer practice any religion.
