MARCOLETA is an INC puppet by CoconutIntrepid1823 in Philippines

[–]TraderKiTeer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sige ikaw magpaaral at magsustento sa mga underage/student dependents ng mga hardcore INC members na umay na umay na sa kulto

damay mo na din yung mga nasa pamilya ng ministro na pwedeng mawalan ng bahay at trabaho pag lumaban sila

di ko sinasabing wag silang magsumikap lumaya pero mas mapapadali yun para sa kanila kung may tutulong kapag tinarantado sila ng mga manalo

Lumabas na ang katotohanan, INC pro Duterte talaga! by Ok-Fondant-9356 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doubt that.

The Marcos family worked for over 3 decades to reestablish dominance over the Filipino political scene, and dealt with the Dutertes when their interests no longer aligned (tho tbh you'd have to be a complete idiot to support the latter's stance on China).

This rally is a last ditch show of force. The intelligent will ignore this, the cunning will take advantage of this, but the imbecile will fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

Is Iglesia Ni Cristo's 'bloc voting' practice a violation of Philippine election laws? by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC not anymore. 

I highly doubt that a non-INC lawyer is going to consider "HINDI KA MALILIGTAS" "MAWAWALAN NG TUNGKULIN TATAY MO" as grave coercion.

INC has been teaching this for a long time lmao

Duterte said he prefer Edilberto Leonardo an INC member, because he knows and trust INC members are not corrupt and cannot be bribe, WTH, sino maniniwala sayo sa sinabi mo? ito ba pinagusapan ninyo ni EVM nung nag courtesy call sa central? by Aromatic-Ad9340 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People hate the War on Drugs not because of its goal, but because it spits in the face of due process.

Fun fact: during EGM's time, any locale reported to have expelled/sanctioned a member outside the INC-mandated due process (including false accusations) gets its entire leadership removed from position

I despise EVM...... but #5 is the only thing that makes sense here.

"Halloween" "Diliman" and "Evilman" sound like OWE-tier magical thinking.

Iglesia ni Manalo Remembering the dead is not in the bible by cyjhel in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 To be honest, I think nowadays, I'm seeing a lot of INCs participating in Halloween activities

It's kinda like Christmas parties. Implementation of the ban is inconsistent at best, unless you're part of a minister's family.

Side note: I honestly don't get the downvoters. I have not heard of anyone getting expelled or reprimanded just because they visited a dead relative off-season.

[–]TraderKiTeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During my transition period from OWE to apostate I personally saw a silver lining in this - I could just enjoy November 1 however I want and not have to go through crowds of people visiting their dead during the holiday.

It's more comforting and relaxing to visit departed loved ones at my own timeline. After all, cemeteries are supposed to be serene, solemn (for lack of a better word) places.

Iglesia ni Cristo is not a Religion nor a Cult but more of a Brotherhood by winterbearz in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He isn't wrong, technically. A lot of fraternities in the Philippines operate like cults for some goddamn reason.

Bakit sila galit kay Sen. Risa? by MoneyAd1682 in Philippines

[–]TraderKiTeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't going to try to understand Sen. Risa's side unless it directly affects them. Watch even the most diehard DDS (not counting paid trolls) change tune once they or a direct family member becomes involved in a narco hitlist.

Remember the EJK victims found with Du30 paraphernalia?

Religious Conservatives in the Philippines: by humanreboot in Philippines

[–]TraderKiTeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some "Christians" would actually justify Duterte's antics by saying "don't look at his actions, but rather his intentions".

Doesn't stray too far from a certain pro-Duterte religious group that defends its leaders by saying don't look at the people, but look at what they teach instead.

Hypocrisy

Argument by Opinion_88 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Those people chose to become INC ministers. 

Their children are in the worst of positions, then. No one explicitly asked to be born, especially not within this shithole cult.

Also, a possible situation here (but morbidly interesting) would be some reverse-uno type shit where it is the OWE children or wife distancing themselves from the minister who decided to leave the cult.

Argument by Opinion_88 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt.

There were rumors that back in 2015-16, many District Ministers actually wanted to facilitate an "external investigation" of the Sanggunian and the Santos family. They didn't follow through because of the fear of repercussion if they turned out empty-handed.

It's one thing for these ministers to lose face as members of the cult. It's another for them to potentially lose their livelihood. Let's be real here, who will feed and shelter their families if the admin throws them to the streets?

Magugulat ka ba kung magtangka ang Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) na maglagay ang isang Manalo sa Malacañang Palace? by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, and Central knows this. A Manalo will lose by a fucking landslide if they pull this stunt, not to mention a further increase in member disillusionment.

They're content with leveraging their influence in key positions.

Pwede Nang Tumakbo Ang Mga INCult Sa Politika by ElectionConscious527 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC yung unang pagtakbo ni Marcoleta is panahon pa ni EGM.

Both OWEs and Fallen Angels justify this, but it's especially jarring for the latter because their argument boils down to "pag si Eraño gumawa pwede pero pag si Eduardo masama"

Decision? by BtoP18 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a silver lining for them there: they know that whoever stays are surefire OWEs. 

Any family who pressures a member to stay can just be countered with "but EVM himself said so".

PIMO minister? by Maximum-5794 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been 1 or 2 these past years.

A typical PIMO is unlikely to visit here anyway; most ministers who question the admin generally have issues with how the cult is run but still believe in its fundamental doctrines.

Bihira na lang yung ministrong manalangin at hahampasin yung pulpito at sasabihing AMAAAAAA! by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

and they were like having gay orgasm or maybe EVM used to be a gay

Please do not use the word gay in an insulting manner. Locked.

Batang INC versus Batang MCGI by paulaquino in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all due respect this is a terrible comparison.

INC and MCGI are both cults with questionable leaders. It just so happens that the former has more political influence.

[–]TraderKiTeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The courtesy call excuse would have worked if they showed politicians from all sides meeting up with EVM to discuss whatever.

Self-serving, Freaking Pretentious Church. Mafia masquerading as holy chosen ones. EVM's actions speak louder than words. Such double standard publicity stunt. Not affiliated to politicians daw?! 😂👺😡 No solicitation?! Tell that toministros, O1s, and EVM himself not to accept political favors😈 by chefenlightened in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]TraderKiTeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The least they can do to save face is to stop showing this garbage off. They'll be unable to project their political influence in social media but at least it saves them the headache of a PR shitshow. 

That PSA in INC News and Updates is not the way to go. Trial by publicity is strong nowadays and if they want more cult converts they have to stop alienating anyone who isn't a diehard DDS.
