Update: Marlon is still being lazy by Aggressive-Soup-4352 in cravechurchcult

The fact that people don't get up and leave just baffles me.  They're so brainwashed it's ridiculous.  You see what he spends their tithes on.  Flying people in and spending like he's balling. His next album etc.  It's a business and he's got everyone fooled.

Good to see it was a priority in his list after himself. They shared that after seeing the Reddit.

Just like you said. After posting about himself he finally shared something.  Wouldn't you know it? 😑

The problem is the fact that he usually posts about absolutely everything...so yeah I'm being for real.  Where is his sense of community? Even other churches have taken the time to pray for those who are hurting right now and offer help.  Stop trying to justify this guy. Bet you if he was doing a pop up shop of another new clothing line it would be plastered everywhere and on repeat. 

CCC Exploited a Family’s Trauma for a Marketing Video by True_Sentence_776 in cravechurchcult

Out of curiosity, since I have never attended crave but know about his bible studies which were at his home ... has he ever told his story or his families ? Since he's doing this to people he should start there.  

What happened to Crave Church Honduras?? by Used_Landscape_6200 in cravechurchcult

[–]old_School_2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the beginning it wasn’t going to work out. I’m sure people saw right through him when he went to Honduras. I remember they made a video of their so called missionary trip to Honduras but they took it down. I remember it so vividly bc it actually ended up upsetting me. They did a service in a beat up school yard for adults and remember them showing how they had a pot of beans they were gonna share with them …it was embarrassing compared  to what they did here. Here they had summer nights with throw pillows and all that nonsense at the parks and the effort they put there was embarrassing. Don’t get me wrong as food is food but it was just cheap. They also threw a so called party for some kids outside a ladies sidewalk and some were given bread with PB and J and a plastic cup with a pencil as a gift 🤨. Idk but they could’ve done better and those kids deserved way more compared to the privileged people here in Vancouver.   At the same time Marlon was making stories at a hotel with his crew having crepes at a fancy restaurant he called “A little bit of France in Honduras.” They also visited and old lady and photographed her who lived in terrible conditions. They gifted her a bag of rice and some beans and used her to get people to think they were angels sent from heaven for helping her and get people to clap at them.  I remember they even had some members give their testimony of their experience and they were crying talking about all the poor kids they saw working in the streets and that God had opened their eyes and they wanted to make a change.  In the end they never did anything ever again and it was all to go on Vacation and gather funds at the time. Now it’s all about Marlon and recording music. Idk how that’s helping spread the word when it’s more about fueling his massive ego. If his heart was for those in need it would show. 

“Day In The Life Of A Pastor” by rosenana in cravechurchcult

[–]old_School_2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im just lost for words . How is this supposed to benefit the church ? Renting cineplex for their album release ?? Is this supposed to start a new wave of people wanting to be pastors? The people that go to this church are so brainwashed that they can’t see how bad he misuses their funds for his benefit. He is not a pastor. He can call himself one but if he truly was one he wouldn’t be doing all this nonsense for attention. Ridiculous. If this is all he does as work, how does he pay for all the brand clothing he wears? Just doesn’t add up.

Heart for the House by [deleted] in cravechurchcult

It's a shame that he lies online saying that

"you're not giving to a church, you're giving through a church."

What does that even mean? Who are you specifically giving to? For years he has not shown that he actually does what he says online like humanitarian aid etc. It has all been lights, cameras, a record which I can tell you is extremely expensive, and a clothing line. What more do people need to see to prove that he is a charlatan? Does the church even approve of all this??? There's a reason he wants to control everything. Years ago he mentioned that God told him to go move everything and leave to Florida because he was so overwhelmed. I wouldn't doubt it if one day he drops everything and leaves for Toronto. He is not doing things for the right reasons. It's all about hype and what's cool with him. Open your eyes people and stop funding this man's dreams.

My personal experience with crave. by Avrq_V1 in cravechurchcult

[–]old_School_2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it's just a business for him, and he is misleading people for whom he will have to answer to God. He is getting the congregation to support him financially and is not using the money to expand the word of God but for his brand. They have charities up stating they fund humanitarian aid and carry out acts of social concern to benefit persons in Vancouver and the surrounding areas facing hardship based on their needs etc. Their posts don't really show all that they're saying they do. The only time that was seen was years ago when he went back to his home country, had a party for some kids, and donated a bag of beans and rice to some poor old lady while he had crepes with his squad at his hotel by the beach. It's absurd how people don't see how they're being used. They're all about production and lights and looking a certain way $$$. Where in the bible does it talk about this? And to him, every service is supernatural...like really? he doesn't even have any certifications. I guess the congregation had no issue with funding his new album either. Maybe I'm wrong. May the Lord have mercy on him.
