    Thats not...skimming.

    Donations to a church can be spent however it wants. Not saying its right but its not criminal. No one is forced to put money in the basket.

    Really depends on how open they were about the car being purchased by the Church and what not.

    You can absolutely embezzle funds from a Church, it being a donation doesn't make it so it can't be fraudulent.

    The churches I've attended have always held a congregational vote before going through with any large expenditures.

    Although it would still rub me the wrong way if the church voted to buy a car just for one kid.

    Here's the strip in question about the car and how John was called out on it.
    2016-04-05-trendy.png

    It's not just a matter of John getting the car from funds originally intended for the poor but the fact that he doesn't really NEED it seeing he's supposed to be doing missionary work in India. Like, if he needs a car while he's in town, it probably should have been a simpler, less expensive car then a Mustang.

    And your taking as gospel (pun intended) that the guy who is probably secretly gay, is not making a smart ass comment which may be pretty far from the truth? Do you complain when your work gives you a free phone to use, or laptop? or travel expenses?

    Just saying that strip shows a very one sided conversation and never follows up with what followed or could be construed as any kind of defense. Convienent that.

    Hey, quick question: are these girls who were mean to Dawn supposed to be the same girls who later took in a non-specific Jennifer Lawrence film with her? Anyway, either way, you’d think Dawn would’ve noticed that they’d stopped harassing her by now. “Maybe their bullying and criticism was just to get a reaction out of me! Fortunately God hardened my heart, just like He did Pharaoh’s. No act of human cruelty or kindness can touch me now!”

    Jocelyne(the one with glasses and blue eyes) is trans, but she can't be open to her family because they're fundies. At least read the thing you are criticizing, for fuck's sake.

    Look man if your church stole money from the poor to buy you an expensive car there is no reason to get all defensive, we're talking about the webcomic not you

    And also, I don't give a shit if it's technically legal or not, any church that takes donations and uses them for frivolous luxuries sounds like a pretty fucking awful church to me.

    The church giving John a phone or money to use while he's abroad is one thing. It's that they bought him a car that (according to Google) costs at least $23-24,000 dollars to use while he's home and thus of no use to his missonary work is the problem. That and it pushes him right into the hypocrite zone when he starts proclaiming that Joyce and Becky are simply feeling entitled and have no legit problems.

    Intestinal cancer is supposedly as painful as crohn's, so I definitely feel for her.

    The bright side is that Stale has lived with deadly cancer for years and years and years and he is still kicking.

    is he? I don't think I've seen him around here in quite a while.

    He's better than ever, just not on the forums.

    But I wouldn't tale dans ability to consistently kick death in the face as any kind of encouragement. We all know he made a pact with a demon a long time ago.

    the demon got the raw end of the deal, knowing Stale

    this isn't really much of a joke

    but it is a good demonstration of the postmodern critique/cultural relativism on ethics

    next time on paranatural: ollie oop straight up murders a dude
    WELCOME... TO THE SCHOOL STORE!

    Also in less exciting news, I've got some life and freelance work responsibilities that are going to eat up the rest of my week, so there will be some art put up instead of a page this Friday! Nothing fancy, but something to check back for! In the meantime, I'll get to stay on schedule and work ahead a little on the next updates. Thanks for your patience! See you next time! :^)

    North World: Epic of Conrad ran as a webcomic in 2007-2008. The original webcomic site is now down, but the comic is available on the author's website. It has also been published by Oni Press as a paperback
