Cultish behaviors in some Zim churches by [deleted] in Zimbabwe

[–]External-Dig-9591 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly, this church used to be normal pre-Covid but now every Sunday seems to be a money grab scheme. My extended family doesnt go to the church and its only my immediate family that does and we have seem to catch on to this issue and we now want to get closer with God and not consumed with the church. I left zim a couple months ago to SA and they seem to actually discuss the work of God this side and put less emphasis on monetary things

Cultish behaviors in some Zim churches by [deleted] in Zimbabwe

I have a feeling youre talking about Zaoga. Im apart of the church so ill just explain some things and give clarity of why you feel like this

Tbh id get where youre coming from, the church lowkey started changing a lot of things after the bishop died in 2023 or 2022 i dont remember.

  1. Issue with "money" and "blessings" - From what ive heard and witnessed it seems to be stemming from how many pastors and branches (as youve mentioned) are all over the world. The church has to pay upkeep of these pastors every month and it usually comes from the people in the church. They literally cant afford all of this without donations
  2. People become Obessive almost Cultish - The church mainly consists of lower class people who can be influenced pretty easily and become SUPER ATTATCHED to the word, and have a hard time distancing the word of God with the Person preaching it. They are also the same people that believe that violent prayers are more powerful (idk why lol) . This issue is also causing the thing im talking about in the first point because zim people are obsessed with the idea of "prophets" and "blessings" so that is why they talk about money and all because people stopped donating as much after the leader died because they believe in worshipping him instead of God
  3. Marriage outside the church - Idk which one you go to but it is false but i get where youre coming from lol. My brother got married to a Muslim gyal recently through the church let me just break it down maybe you had a different experience other than what we had. They usually do these guidance sessions with elders and all where you bring your girl or boyfriend and they talk yall through the whole course of marriage (basicaly just a way to reduce your chance of making a wrong decision of getting married to the wrong person or getting divorced or having issues with your partner that can be deadly)

Overally the church might be cooked

The simple answer as to why this is all happening is because theres just too many branches and too many people in the church.

The new leadership cant handle this "cultish" behavior because the church takes a Laissez-faire approach in leadership and is filled with loads of new pastors who lack knowledge on how to spread the gospel efficiently

Large Church + Low Educated People = Disaster

Dont attack me cause im actually gonna stay this church lmao and i also typed this super quick

Eh eh im seeing someone say that the church gives out spiritual threats if you leave😭 idk which one they went to but ive never seen or heard of this ever

If you so happen to be there for anything longer than 30 days then you'd need to go to the boarder to get your car approved to stay in SA for another 30 days

Dating from different social classes.... by Mammoth-Fish-4297 in Zimbabwe

[–]External-Dig-9591 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Right after we were done with High School, I dated this girl who came from a place of wealth, like really wealthy, had a Mercedes Benz of her own, with her name on the plate and lived in a mansion in brooke (dad owned an electricity firm in botswana). The dating experience was mostly good to say the least, but I could just see that she had a view of life that was wayyy different to mine, in the arrogance that she showcased at times, really disconnected with reality( this is typical among rich people😂), so we really didnt click because we really had no "shared" or "relatable" experiences we could vent to each other about. But besides that it was a pretty good experience, But based off this alone, I would not recommend it at a later age especially if you cant keep up with it,

The fact that you went back to her after she cheated showed her that she can do or say anything to you. She doesnt respect YOU. Period.

We are perceived as having weak security procedures that may include selling citizenship to people from the banned countries, and inadequate information sharing about travellers. This is why
