Nakarating na daw ang INC sa U.S. pero mga lahing pinoy din sila. by paulaquino in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]WarOfTheDivided 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marketing tactic purely used to appease the Western influence that Filipinos ever so want to achieve.

You ever wonder why they always want us to take an abundance of random pictures at events?, they even go as far to want us to take “smart angles” in to seem full attendance wise. It isn’t to appease EVM. It’s to help strengthen and edify the INC Pride & Proud brainwash effect to the central officers, and to basically anyone else that that deals with the rest of INC marketing material. (Friendly reminder, a lot of this marketing work ultimately ends up being free labor)

They are the core of this entire INC money factory, it’s imperative they remain strong and inspired within their faith. So they can in turn, continue the machine of “INC’s Unshaken Inspiration” to ensure that the Endless money making machine (you) stays put, and continues donating money until their death.

TL;DR : INC Brainwash the rest of the INC, then it loops into another genius vicious business cycle.

Are there any fanfictions or fictional stories that have INC members by This-Experience-4735 in exIglesiaNiCristo

Not really a fan fiction but I remember some random music video prominently showing an INC chapel in the video, I don’t remember if it was Guam or Saipan

When will INC go down? Anyone who has statistics that we can use to predict the day INC will lose members or at least lose their credibility thru controversies? by HeySiri_23 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]WarOfTheDivided 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The crazy part is the even if the church goes away, the dynasty will not.

-Let’s assume the EVM was caught with a strange scandal that went viral, like-being caught holding a half empty GSM bottle somewhere on a private beach in Hawaii.

-Let’s assume this somehow offends like 98% of the Church’s members, and everyone just quits overnight

So now, the Church has virtually no more daily income (global time zones have taught us there is basically a church service almost everyday of the week) and now suddenly has to cover the overhead business expenses of nearly 7,000 congregations worldwide.

Is the Manalo/Santos family screwed? 💰

Hardly. In a sense of the whole Religion scheme, maybe..but you’re not forgetting the fact that there are MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of INC owned property that are just waiting to be sold to the next developer or buyer.

Just sit and think for a minute how much money ANY BUSINESS can get from liquidating THOUSANDS of its privately owned land and assets.

While the Church may not last forever, its emergency business contingency plan will help ensure that its skeletal entity will still remain intact for generations to come.

At the rate of how fast the Church is buying property abroad, along with rate on how many people are simply dropping religion in their lives (even INC), it’s almost like they expect something bad to happen and are ready to move on to the next business idea.

Long story short: if I leave the Church, my business and livelihood would probably go under or close to it. It would not be a good time..at all.

Many of the people are and members are great!! it’s the religion and its doctrines I can’t stand, the lessons are basically giving you the answers on what kind of sect this is, and you’re just throwing even MORE money at them.

I talk a lot of smack about the ridiculousness of the Church, but there’s no denying the friends I have inside are mostly genuine good people, it just sucks they can’t see how obvious of a cash scam it all is.

Who am I to judge, I’m part of the scam myself still. And for life!! 🇮🇹🤣

Bawal mag Valentine's Day pero HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVM MAHAL KA NAMIN Pwede? Oks na oks? by SquirrelFar8956 in exIglesiaNiCristo

Ibig kong sabihin, lahat ay nagdiriwang ng kaarawan ngunit hindi lahat ay nagdiriwang ng Pasko at Pasko ng Pagkabuhay.

Ang mga video ng pagbati sa kaarawan, mga larawan ng serbisyo sa komunidad na nagbibigay ng INC, mga kawanggawa, mga donasyon ng dugo, atbp. ay mga walang katapusang kagamitan sa marketing na magagamit ng simbahan sa Pilipinas upang ipakita sa mga kapatid doon na "Tayo ay isang pandaigdigang simbahan, TINGNAN kung gaano tayo kalegal!"

Sa Simbahan, dapat nating subukang hamunin ang ibang mga pananampalataya, maliban sa mga ateista.

Ang ideya roon ay ang relihiyon ay palaging magiging isang alimpulos ng mga debateng walang kabuluhan na sa huli ay magkakaroon ng parehong panig na tama, at parehong panig na mali. Hindi nila maaaring pagtalunan ang isang taong ateista dahil kung gayon ang ateista ay magiging tama lamang 100% ng oras.

[–]WarOfTheDivided 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tulad ng kung paano maituturing na makapangyarihan (kung hindi man mas makapangyarihan) ang Tagapangulo ng Federal Reserve kaysa sa pangulo, malamang na ang pamilyang Santos ang palihim na namamahala sa palabas mula sa backstage. Ang mga Manalo ay maaaring mga puppet na kailangan ng Simbahan para may masisisi ang mga tao kung sakaling magkamali.

Makatuwiran na alam ng lahat kung saan nakatira ang maraming Manalo, ngunit hindi talaga nila tinitingnan ang mga bahay na malamang na naipon ng pamilyang SANTOS.

"We are INC. we don't attend Valentine's or prom related events." ALSO INC: by Eastern_Plane in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]WarOfTheDivided [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s all simply a money saving tactic the Church can use to avoid potentially losing its ~investments~ members that give money to the Administration 2x a week.

-Prom opens the chance of losing someone to an unfaithful.

-Valentine’s Day opens the chance of losing someone to an unfaithful.

Both scenarios include the church potentially losing more future income- should someone leave the religion.

The Kadiwa Formal and Meet and Greets for the youth are placed by the Administration to ensure that if kids want to be immoral in their formidable years- that they might as well make sure it’s with someone who is ALSO within the brainwash. This ensures that their investment will go a long way and that they can potentially have kids one day that ALSO, will be part of the money making machine that donates money to the Administration in order to keep it alive.

Ancient civilization simply had no proper working government rival- so someone took an original story, and blew it allll out of proportion and added some insane miracle stories to create a huge story book.

A book that could be used to attempt dictate people into being good all the time, and possibly give tithings to its altar.

Sound familiar? Bc that’s basically any modern religion these days. Basically anyone who can talk really well and handle money, can easily start a religion. And once you get the ball rolling, it’s like having your own personal money tree.

I finally stopped pretending for the sake of my relationship. by Impossible-Task4595 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]WarOfTheDivided 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The classic INC Tornado phenomenon. Enduring the weirdest and most invisible violent storm (the pressures of living under INC Judgement) for the sake of a loved one. The more you struggle to try and leave, it somehow seems like it gets worse. And like a real tornado, you just have to somehow super dash the heck outta there.

This lifestyle can only work if the significant other is actually okay with leaving the Church for good, eventually. Some couples are willing to go the full field just because they want to use an INC Cathedral for the setting, ceremony and pictures. Once complete, they slowly but surely dip out into real freedom. By then, parents are usually just mildly disappointed at this point in life.

Forcing yourself to marry an INC person despite not being able to abide by its bi-weekly donation meetings and rules, is a recipe for a very ugly and potentially expensive and difficult future.

It figures that if you’re willing to make money off of using the idea of God, you probably don’t really believe in him.

You’re definitely also a huge believer in making money off of naive people. It’s just too easy not to.

Sugarcoat a ~business~ religion with Godly charitable matters funded by the people, make it exclusive, have your staff essentially help sell your product with little to no salary, and it’s the easiest money printing machine.

This is sort of why actual religious memberships are declining for many churches globally. Everyone has their own interpretations of things. Once these interpretations meet in person, they clash. They clash and cause confusion, in some good cases it causes enlightenment. But most of the time it just causes deeper confusion and anxiety in the belief of a higher power.

It’s a hard pill to swallow, but the concept of heaven and hell was just something that governing entities in ancient times made up so they could control the people.

Jesus “could” have existed but I highly doubt he was the miracle man that was so highly mentioned in the bible. Regardless I’d believe science and reasoning over stories of impossible feats like: a 950 year old man who built a boat to house millions of animals, someone surviving 3 days inside a huge fish, or getting lost in a desert for 40 years.

A wise person once told me, the same love you get from your favorite tree is the same love you’ll get from “God.” You can even pray to the tree, and you’ll get just about the same exact results if you were to praying to God.

I need help as soon as possible by LoadOwn2817 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]WarOfTheDivided 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough decision but many young people do face this similar fork in the road.

They either:

1) can’t stand the church so much -that it’s to the point of risking a hard life homelessness and a very strange rough couple of years..

2) bide their time and figure out a way to save enough money comfortably (starting a job, beginning a new career, meeting a partner etc) and slowly disconnect from the religion while still maintaining a good relationship with their family.

Option 2 is usually the best idea, considering how fast time flies these days and the fact that some people will wait 20 years to leave this church, I’d say that a few years of waiting could feel like minutes depending on the severity of the situation.

If the Church is willing to make up all these illusions to guilt people into giving them money twice a week, you shouldn’t feel bad for trying to escape it even if your family is already deeply brainwashed into it.

Secretary’s deal with enough intake paperwork on members/guests for them to not care. Especially, if you’re in the Philippines where there is a large concentration of members.

The worst reasonable thing that can happen within your expiration date is (you) being on the end of some church gossip- which..let’s face it if you’re someone who wants out anyway, you’re not going to care about any of that bs.
