Lady shares why she stopped attending church
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had recounted an experience in her former parish that made her stop going to church.
According to the lady, her father was devoted and contributed to the church. When he got ill, it drained the family's resources, making it difficult for them to pay his church dues.
She said everyone in the church knew her family's situation, but they did not show compassion or support. Instead, they threatened not to bury her father until they paid his outstanding dues.
