When Church Staff Go Wild – Treasurer Steals $160,000

She even paid for her wedding with the church credit card!   

treasurer*A Tennessee church that’s weathered nearly 200 years of history is concerned about the immediate future and years to come. It’s all because of one of their own, their treasurer, reports 9News.com.

Members said the treasurer stole more than $160,000 from the funds at Douglass Chapel United Methodist Church in Gallatin.

“It’s just pretty upsetting and discouraging that someone would do this when they’re looking at you every Sunday morning knowing they’re stealing our money,” said church member and former treasurer Marsha Davis. “It was being treated as free money to spend, basically. She had the church credit card, and she just went to town.”

“It’s been devastating to that small of a church and a community,” added Sumner County Sheriff Sonny Weatherford.

    LOL! LOL! LOL! This article is so special and comical for me!! Big Time!! I’m a descendant of the Douglas Slave plantation of Gallatin and Mount Olive, Tennessee. The Douglas family was one of the biggest slave holding families in Tennessee during the 1860′s. The wealth they derived from the sweat, tears and anguish of my ancestors was used to develop a large linen factory. I researched and found that they had an account with confederate officer Nathan Bedford Forrest of Pulaski, Tennessee. I am a descendant of Noel Douglass if any Douglas folks are out there.

    Just think folks, I should get a cut on every sheet and pillow case the KKK wears. The KKK still rides the hickory hollows with their flaming torches at night but now they’re called the Tea Party. Herman Cain, Alllen West, Tim Scott, Tavis Smiley, Cornell West are their foot soldiers!!
