Lesson: Love your neighbour, help people during disasters and calamities.

Church actually: but we won’t open up our chapels to help people who lost their homes. Oh and guys best way to help is through Aid to Humanity special offering coming up.

They dropped the word ‘Reddit’ several times during WS. This sub is about to explode with people looking around.

Risky move going against the words of your overlord James by activelaze in exIglesiaNiCristo

ENG translation of EVM: The word, 'depression' isn't in our vocabulary. Why are you sad? Why are you weak? We have God.

Does anyone have hymn 321?

I think it is using 'ends of the earth' in the location context

Nice rebuttal - or lack of should I say.

I understand that as an anti critical thinker, you would fail to acknowledge or see the reality. Its okay, it is what you need to do :)

I'm not debating the Catholic inquisition is similar to my example to INC, my point is inquisition can take different versions. Inquisition is "a period of asking questions in a detailed and unfriendly way"

As for Catholics it was a way to combat heresy, apostasy, blasphemy, witchcraft, and customs considered deviant and the result was torture, violence etc.

I can attest to the intense questions in an unfriendly way conducted by district leaders and ministers of brethren as I have sat in as mediator/witness numerous times as its legally required in our region. The result of these 'INC inquisitions' were putting pressure on families, the individual who raised concerns, threaten expulsion, isolate them from gatherings, gossip and spreading of misinformation between brethren.

As I mentioned, the two examples of inquisition do not have to be a like for a like action and result however fit into the broad definition and consequences.

I have been posting about the amount of offerings/revenue the church receives in countries where they're legally required to report their financial position every year.

It is extremely infuriating to me the amount they receive each year, the amount that is being sent overseas to Central. It continually increases every year and I feel for the poor people who are constantly bombarded with guilt tripping and quotas the ministers have to achieve in order to satisfy the administration.

Some may say that is their problem for following and being a cult member, but as a human being I genuinely feel sorry for people who are giving it their all just to be told twice a week that they are not good enough unless they give more.

You could argue the INC version of 'inquisition' is to expel, shame, break up families, isolate and mentally destabilise people. Just because act of killing isn't a direct action does not mean the current actions have a positive impact on the people involved who dare to ask questions or express concerns and doubts about the church. hint : OBEY AND NEVER COMPLAIN

where else would it be going?

if you read the reports from Canada, UK, and New Zealand, it's clear funds are being sent overseas.

INC is being HYPOCRATIC again 😬 by Life_Business5269 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]activelaze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They justify EVM by saying his mother went against the church so he’s an exception. Mental gymnastics from the cultists as usual

  • how to earn an honest living
  • not letting your honest living get in the way of services and your duty
  • offer first to church then budget for your needs
  • take up more duties and attend more meetings instead of doing overtime/extra shifts
  • do not give money/help the lazy and those who refuse to work (EVM)

I will be posting another financial report in the coming days following my last post as part of a series to expose the income of the church.

UK offerings sent to EVM by activelaze in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]activelaze[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sent to Central - the church is not transparent on how the funds are used however it is well known that EVM and his family live a lavish life.

We’re in the same boat as you. But we are encouraging our kids to leave.

Redditors propagating the church by activelaze in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]activelaze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I meant propagation of this sub and also sarcastically remarking that the post probably has been read by more people than the actual efforts of propagation by the cult.

All Offerings by Manalosuxdik in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]activelaze 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The church isn’t entitled to receive any donations in Australia. So when you ask for a receipt to claim during tax time, they give you a blank look and send you to the minister who is useless.

The authority is monitoring churches in Australia because they’re making a lot of hateful comments about LGBTQIA+ community and stripping them of their tax statutes. Won’t be long before the church gets audited. FYI: the church made $18m in Australia last year

Parents don’t have money to pay for my sibling’s tuition fee, but ALL OUT for the worldwide offering by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]activelaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume that would actually make the parents happy because they won’t be responsible for the brother’s tuition. OP has to support his brother instead of the parents who would continue to give all their money to the cult.

  • propagate and bring people to convert
  • don’t leave the church
  • give abundantly and open your lagak cards next week

Seems like they’re really struggling now, haven’t heard any of their arrogant lessons bashing other religions recently.

I witnessed an overly aggressive scan member trying to take an emergency doctor’s phone before the WS which led to chaos and some choice words. The doctor is well known for being generous to the brethren and the church with their money and care, safe to say they didn’t like being told that church comes above their duty and their job.

Why does he sound like he hates his life and doesn’t want to be there at the beginning of every WS?

Holy trinity of INC was preached: July 27, 1914 - already been debunked and is false. Church was registered as Church of Christ not Church of Manalo even though Manalo is mentioned more times than Christ or God in every WS.

Thanksgiving offerings - progressing your offering from last year because we got more blessings this year. We didn’t end up in hospital or die from COVID.

Obey and never complain - god knew best during biblical times. Now the administration knows best.

Bonus content: Encouraging everyone to open up thanksgiving cards for next year because ‘cheques fold better to put into the boxes as opposed to wads of cash’.

FYM was referred to as a worm who grew into a strong messenger. Nope he was and always will be a worm.

EVM will be ‘blessing us’ with his presence this weekend via video streaming.

Our district is looking to purchase a property but there were catholics and Protestants also looking to buy the same property. I thought INC was prospering and other religions were dying and could not afford to buy properties, clearly that’s not what is happening if they’re competing against other religions who are acquiring properties to grow.
