And this always makes me ask, is it not possible to avoid being caught up in some of these tough situations?

The Letter That Got Ali Baba Mad at Pastors Living Large Instead of Funding Enterpreneurs in Church

About a week ago, comedian ALi Baba shared some tweets where he suggested that the pastors of large churches needed to have development funds for their church members instead of using the church tithes and offerings to enrich themselves and stock up on more exotic cars for their garages. He received a lot of blowback from his followers defending the practice. Today on his facebook page, he shared the reason for his tweets. I wish he had named and shamed.
