I've listened to some Dave Ramsey and had minor differences of opinion with some of his suggestions, so I was interested in reading this.
Melissa's grievance #2 - She doesn't like that Dave Ramsey reprioritizes charity until you're well out of financial disarray. Melissa thinks you should keep tithing, because blessings can be bought.
Reading what I wrote to myself there sounds like an ungenerous way to describe it, but I can't bring myself to sugar coat it.
What a rough and tumble read that was all together. I'm laughing at myself for how appalled I am that people would just go on the internet and publish bad advice. Some of it isn't even wrong, it's just ham fisted with mittens on.
- jessaustin 8y agoYeah this "prosperity theology" crap would have me seeking new legal representation...
- krapp 8y ago>Melissa thinks you should keep tithing, because blessings can be bought. To be fair, the Bible literally states that God will bless you if you tithe, and curse you if you don't.
- Mr_RobRoy 8y agoBesides your skepticism of the concept of tithing, karma, or the reciprocal nature of giving, what in particular is the published "bad advice" in the article that you take issue with? Your comment suggests that it's not really her advice that offends (appalls) you, but rather her writing style. Is that fair to say?
