Could u people just leave pastors alone and make something positive out of your own lives. Or are u people so intellectually bankrupt that you cannot discourse any other thing other than pastors?

Goshen360: Godliness with contentment, the bible says it's a GREAT GAIN.

Logic Mind: anybody that gives his hard earned money to pastors deserve all the poverty coming his way.

lol,

If I may ask, how do you kno this?

because he is most likely a Pastor

Yornandrew: i am content with what i have from now. i only attend and give to a church that is very much involved in the care of the less priviledge. i attend God Bless Nigeria Church, Isolo that has a rehab centre for drug addicts and an empowerment unit for poor members of the church to offer free business training and finance for businesses in soap making, tailoring, air freshner, hairdressing e.t.c

Beautymc: All this jobless people on NL shuld leave pastors alone. Is not their fault that ur Parents culdn't make it in like. U can't see a rich man children criticising people. U guys shuld face ur life and face ur leaders (government). Perhaps, no pastor will drag u from ur house to come and give him money in the church, u willingly took urself there. Many of u are stagnated as a result of abusing a servant of God. Be wise and leave Pastors with their God b'cos u don't knw more than God. If God doesn't like what they are doing, He has the right to stop them.

I suspect that this poster is a pastor
May I tell you why pastors should always be criticised:
1. Because they all tell us about things they know nothing about and package said things as the truth.
2. Because being a pastor is being intellectually bankrupt.
[bold]3. Because they decieve people into thinking that there is life after death.[/bold]
4. Because they have way too much influence over their congregation's lives.
5. Because most of them are in it for the money.
6. But most of all, they are human beings, just like the rest of us. They have no special insight into the human condition.

What makes you think that people here on Nairaland are poor? Does the average Nigerian have internet? Does even the average internet service in Nigeria allow for the streaming of videos?


Why should we not criticise pastors who are fraudulent? Are you insane?

Such pastors make the people in their congregation depend too much on prayer and seed-sowing. I feel like the most ignorant of people rake in the little money they make, 'sow' a seed and pray to magically get rich. Surely this is bad?

I've been to some churches where the topic is usually about sowing seeds and praying against supposed 'spirits' padlocking their luck. I honestly don't think this is healthy for the mind. Why cant the money raised from the seed sowers be used to support familys, education - wise.

And for F*** sake who is this so-called 'enemy' that they waste time praying against
