Kampala – In a costly rookie move for the relatively new churchgoers, local man Odong Robert and his wife Joan made prolonged eye contact with the usher at Pass The Offering Church Sunday morning, even though they had nothing to put in the offering plate.
When the usher approached and held out the plate, the The Odongs looked up and smiled at him, making eye contact for a full three seconds before passing the plate along, not giving so much as a shilling.
“That’s gonna cost ’em,” said a church service commentator on the instant replay. “Veterans in this game know how to shuffle their feet and look downward or pretend not to see the offering plate held out directly in front of them. Only a newbie like Rob would make that kind of eye contact without any shame.”
“He is setting a bad precedence for people like us who dodge tithe, a disappointing performance from a promising prospect,” he added.
