Well, she got bounced because she didn't pay up. That is the topic.
I didn't see any other complaints in the letter. No sense in demonizing/speculating about the woman.

All I see here is a club. What are the scriptures teaching we should require anything, tithes, attendance or anything to receive benefits from some man? What scriptures tell us to incorporate and have bylaws to gather together with the body? BABYLON pure and simple!
Jesus said I came unto you hungry...naked...did you feed Him? Did you clothe him. Oops, he isn't a tithe paying member. My bad.

(In the tradition of "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer)
Chorus:
Grandma got kicked out by a pastor
Cause she didn't tithe re-gu-ler-lee
You say that you don't believe in tithing
But as for me and pastor we believe
She's just a sweet little grandma
Dressed in her Sunday best
But then the mailman brought a letter
That started just a whole big bloomin' mess
They said old girl wasn't tithing
Nor was she payin' her church dues
Cause she needed all her money
To buy her cuzzin Martha some new shoes
Chorus:
Grandma got kicked out by a pastor
Cause she didn't tithe re-gu-ler-lee
You say that you don't believe in tithing
But as for me and pastor we beleeeeeeeeeeeeeeve
As for me and pastor we believe (Yee-haw!)

Notary and Witness signed too.
I remember when I talked to some people one of whom had been an elder in a church. He at one point received a registered letter from the Pastor and current board over something none of them had never talked to the elder about.
I showed the letter to my dad at the time, who had been a pastor for close to 40 years then. He read it and chuckled a sad chuckle, folded the letter up, handed to me and his first words were, "Well, if I had ever sent anyone a letter like that, I'd be looking for a new job".
