There won't be any major updates for a bit as school started and I am moving everything over to mysql database. It'll make it easier for me to update in the future. Since I have nothing new to say, I present to you a news article
[i][b]Cloquet Man Wants $126,000 Church Donation Back, Church Says No[/b]
A 55-year-old man is suing a Cloquet, Minnesota church because it won't give back a $126,000 donation he gave during a deep depression five years ago.
Marcel Mager of Cloquet says he made the anonymous donation during a time of emotional distress and thought giving the church money would ease his pain. His wife had left him two weeks prior to the January 1999 donation. It was nearly their entire life savings.
Five months later, Mager asked for the money back, but leaders at the Cloquet Gospel Tabernacle church said no. They had already d the money for new family ministry space.
After spending years trying to resolve the situation quietly, Mager sued the church in 2002 and it has yet to be resolved.
Mager says he's coming forward in the hopes the church will return his money.
The church pastor, the Reverend Richard Doebler, says church leaders feel bad about the situation but don't plan on giving back the donation.
