    So much circle-jerking in this comments. This person is literally stealing but its fine if its from the “bad guys”.

        How are people donating their own money grifters?

          They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.

            Sure, but that’s not a grift.

                Okay sure, but by taking their money, that’s just doing the same thing the church is criticized for, taking money under false pretenses.

                Grifting the grifters would be defrauding the church, not the congregation.

              Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.
