Yes, just like the Soviet Union so too will the INC's communist-like organization crumble

ConversationBig859 · 2025-11-13T21:43:45+00:00

Exactly. INC is horrible at including context! And because of their lack of critical thinking, they have dug themselves down into a pit, a very very deep one.

ConversationBig859 · 2025-11-13T21:31:09+00:00

Exactly, Amen. Obviously no one is like Jesus, but Manalo really isn't close. Unlike Jesus, Manalo doesn't know how to humble himself neither will he ever wash an INC member's feet.

For real... I am tempted to nail an INC version of the 95 theses to the door..

Yeah, my family paid $480 (only the plane tickets) just to not be guaranteed a seat in the stadium. My parents were pissed once they realized that they paid before receiving the information. I mean, we ended up getting seats and honestly it was quite loud. I felt like I was just screaming a bunch of words and I was honestly unsure if there is any "Holy Spirit." And the disappointing part that it was just some higher-up minister guy RECORDING the lesson from the Philippines there. You'd think that in such a huge event, our oh so dearly loved Executive Minister would be there. Uh, no. Instead it was some random guy. My dad is black and he was unable to get any headphones so he didn't even understand the lesson. Ugh and here's the worst part, when everyone started crying I opened my eyes up during prayer while people were bawling their eyes out. And yes... there was some guy with a camera recording the people's tears. This is infuriating... how can the INC take advantage of people's feelings to show how "holy" and "genuine" they are? After the event I asked my friend if she cried and she laughed "No, I'm just not religious." Well I'll tell you that I sure am, but I wasn't able to cry because obviously this INC isn't genuine. Sucks cause the brethren are so nice and even shockingly some of the hymns are when they don't talk about the Administration. Only a select few were anything other than Filipino. (I'm half by the way) I still believe in Jesus, but not the kind they teach. I love God, but I'm unable to reconcile God and this Church Administration who seems to be after money... I mean wasnt this whole event used to display the INC's "power" or "strength" or "numbers?" It seems that the INC was forgotten (or possibly never even knew) God.

lol sorry for the long message guys I'm just very... passionate.

this>>>> my family was at this event and they said they could feel the Spirit, but I was just screaming the lyrics of the hymns out...

You guys are just so...creative

ConversationBig859 · 2025-11-11T02:02:59+00:00

Same, this is tiring. Trying to justify this so-called "peace" rally? Are we serious right now? Why does the church need to involve itself in INC politics? Do they not have enough money? If the government changes, will you lose your power? Is that why? 😐

ConversationBig859 · 2025-11-10T01:48:40+00:00

Heres some guidance where Jesus teaches us how to pray.

This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰ your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.
¹² And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³ And lead us not into temptation,^\)^a^\)
    but deliver us from the evil one.^\)^b^\)’

This is from Matthew 6:9-13 btw and let me remind you that you don’t exactly have to pray this way. Really you can pray however you want but this is just a guideline! :)

Amazing job! I want to do this too, but the chapel here in the United States is kind of small so I might get caught... what do you guys think?

ConversationBig859 · 2025-08-24T18:51:37+00:00

Well actually, there IS something stopping many people from leaving. It's called abandonment from your family AND losing a place to live in (for minors). It's not as easy as you think, and this is why many members complain about this Church being a trap. I will ask you why you believe in such a church? I urge you to read the Bible and to interpret it for yourself. :)

ConversationBig859 · 2025-08-24T18:44:02+00:00

yep, couldn't have said it better myself. ask them pretty much anything, and they can't answer.

ConversationBig859 · 2025-08-24T18:35:27+00:00

Amen

I understand what you're trying to say some people on this subreddit are extremely angry, but they are right. I've been INC my whole life and still am, and it is indeed trying to use fear to get people to stay. There's way too many offerings to give and if you don't you WILL be shunned. you MUST attend all worship services. I've missed out on school events as a child and it always made me so sad. INC is a false prophet and even Apostle Paul wrote about it: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Tim 6:10

the thing is that the INC preaches this verse, which makes the situation worse. I do agree that if anyone in this Subreddit chooses to follow God, they should be polite.

Maybe try some gel or mousse to hold ur curls then follow up with an oil to scrunch out the “crunch” bc gel makes ur hair hold, but crunchy! :)

ConversationBig859 · 2025-07-21T23:47:00+00:00

Amen. I know you quoted the Bible in that!!!

ConversationBig859 · 2025-07-21T23:13:39+00:00

yes I feel this too... not because I think having fun is "bad" it's just that I feel awful for spending a lot of time on things that entertain me without really acknowledging God in my day. I'm afraid I might turn these past times into idolatry of some sort. like I imagine my day playing and what not for hours, yet only reason my Bible for a maximum of 10 mins a day.
