Your skepticism is understood cos it has not happened to you or someone close to you.But it is a stark reality.As a few nairalanders have correctly observed,this occurs mostly with the members of the new gen churches. I have had cause to interact with them and they usually choose employees on religious basis, not only on issue of tithing but once u dont share the near fanatical ideas they have you dont get the job.Dont know the kind of indoctrination they receive.

In that case whoever experiences such should do the public a favour by naming such establisment! Hopefully to deter others from doing same.

The security men are simply jealous when they see a young vibrant young man full of hopes walking into that office and become their boss.
Just humble yourself before them and talk to them nicely till you get what you want then you can show them the other side of you.
I don't have anyone to link you to but you'd stand a great chance if you know somebody that works in the same outfit, at least you stand a chance to have a first hand info of what is going on at every point in time.

You need some form of invitation before you can go through those their gates or better still befriend the security guy or any other guy that works there.

Hmn.

It will affect the business owner ma. Remember Eli and his sons. Eli didn't offend God, his sons brought God's anger upon him cos he's the custodian ( Eli) of his home. So as the business owner is the custodian of his company.

I understand but in Salvation, all man to himself.

This is why i love my current job and my Chairman. He does not pretend about these things. No prayers before or after meetings, no coming together to sing praises, just get the job done and where the company returns profit at the agreed threshold, there is profit sharing.

In my last employment, they pray most, they lie most to junior staff and they pretend most to outsiders. I so could not work with the executive management because of the hypocrisy, I left.

I am a practical christian and believe strongly in Ecclesiastis 3: 3.....There is time for everything under the sun....

I am also aware that I should pray unceasingly, but i will rather pray the type that Nehemiah did when he was called in to see the king and make a request......He said a silent prayer in his heart....that place was neither a church nor a synagogue. Same way my office is what is it and the business of the office is office business

With the above thought process, how could anyone ask of my religion with a desire to know whether i pay tithe or not? Anyway, i could never have interviewed such an organisation in the first place.

Bro it all depends on where you work.

In my work place, we pray every morning before we start work for the day, infact we have a pray ground where everyone come to from different departments.

I have also previously worked in places where we simply come and resume work no prayers!

But if I have to choose a hundred times over, I will choose this place where we pray first! Sometimes I wonder if all our staff are born of same parents because this place is more like a home than a mere office. Even with almost 200 staff, this is one of the most peaceful, truthful and conducive place to work.

So it all depends on where you work and the kind of people there.

Those are the boko haram in the church yet one of them was shouting that he would behead any boko haram on the pulpit the other day. No difference in the ruthlessness with which 'MOGs' defend their illicit tithes and the way BH kills its victims.

I got an interview invitation last Friday with one newly established company around Airport road, Rukpoku, Port Harcourt(name withheld). I was over-qualified, and I answered their questions perfectly, but what shocked me was when the interviewer asked me what church i attended.

I proudly answered "Catholic". His facial expression changed and he said "whoever doesn't pay tithe can hinder the growth of a company."

He even tried backing his statement with biblical quotations.I was very shocked so I can't even remember all the crap he said.

I brought this here to tell Nairalanders what religion has turned our people into.

This is no entirely correct. Not all Catholics parishes pay tithe. Till date my parish doesn't pay tithe, but I've also been to parishes where tithe is being paid

And yes the Catholic church officially doesn't preach tithe now, that's why today, you don't hear of tithe being paid in Vatican.



You are very correct. And this is especially happening in Nigerian Catholic churches.


I remember some year back I read an interview the veteran actor Pete Edochie granted to one of these magazines published by seminarian in seminary schools, (either Enugu or Onitsha dioceses) I can't remember precisely.


Prior to then, I've never heard or seen people pay tithe in any Catholic church.

In that interview, Pete Edochie was like encouraging Catholic Churches to start collecting tithe like our pentecostal counterparts instead of depending on "merger collections" to fund the church. I was surprised!

I went to Onitsha the next year (exactly in thesame church were I saw the magazine the previous year) to my surprise, they have started paying tithe!

Though they don't force people or threaten them with the so called devourer whatever, I wasn't happy about the development. Gradually today many priests are towing thesame path.

I still trust my Catholic brethren, they even give five or ten naira for tithe

But seriously this isn't right.

Vatican discontinued tithing and Nigeria is just introducing it. Smh

#nuffsaid.

Salud.

OP it is not religion but church doctrine.

Some Roman Catholics members also pay tithe.

If that company believes that when one doesnt pay tithe, it will hinder their growth, it will do so. Every business that grows has internal principles and rules and it must be obeyed.

I'm a catholic and I pay my tithe.

I've been at covenant university the woman interviewed me ask if I were a 'born again' as I'm a Muslim. she just excused me.

What gave you d impetune dat you passed the question thrown to you at d interview?...I don't believe if d job you are denied of is on the basis of church. Pardon me if I seems rude....

Paying tithe is scriptural and very important to all Christians. If you are not paying your tithe you are not obeying the scriptures. But ofcourse its your personal decision and shouldn't have affected your chances of landing that job unless the is a church coy and really bent on hiring a person with their kind of believe and doctrines. Wish you good luck op.

He did that to a fellow Christian? I am a Muslim, I don't and will never pay tithe. What would he have done if I were the one? Would have gotten me arrested? Please what does the holy books mean when the books say " Love thy neighbour as thy self" ? Did any of the holy books say "hate anyone that does not pay tithe"?

Though I am a Muslim but I schooled in Catholic Schools, so we were always in the Catholic church for the masses. To me, if you are not a Catholic then you are not a Christian. Catholics institutionalized Christianity, so if you preach anything that Catholics don't preach, then I will ask you where you got your own doctrine.

But wait ooo, don't Catholics pay tithe? Please don't confuse me, I am not drunk yet. Catholics pay tithe.

He has the right to qualify or disqualify you on the basis of any criteria he deems fit. It is a PRIVATE company. Appeal to the human rights commission.

Good boy. Support christianity all the way.

That company intend to be removing ur tithe from ur salary nd payin it on ur behalf to God knows wher. Dats ther plan.

sweetcocoa:
This is just sad.

Imagine what will happen if one tells them "I don't go to church"

Na death sentence be that na.

Why is it sad. The church is going to dominate the sane world while some other religions will dominate the 'dark' world. Honey, there is no neutrality. The reality is approaching. Someone indeed owns this world and all of us in it.

sweetcocoa:
Not all.

The ones that even do, started not too long ago, it wasn't in the doctrines of the catholic church to pay tithe, they just couldn't see their pentecostal and other counterparts prosper from tithing extortion, without doing nothing, so they joined.

It is not extortion. It is the demonstration if power. You guys don't just get it. The church wants to dominate. Money commands a lot of power. It is a tool of serious influence. Members of the church know this. They want a strong, influential church. They want influence beyond their homes. Today the church must be respected. As an example, you cannot contest thoughtless of winning any serious elective position in Nigeria today without 'going to see pastor'. That is the destination. Global influence and domination. Soft power.

If the employer believes tithing brings blessings to him and his company, he may reason that way. Sorry.

Unfortunately u Nigerians always carry religion on your head.
What does religion have to do with a company? There's no justification for what the employer did. Yes we want God to bless our hand work but we must learn to be professional when it comes to our work.

If he can say that about a catholic I wonder what he'll say to a muslim or an aethiest...such crap

I'm a Catholic and we pay tithe,even in the church I attend in my school. But does it really matter? My dear op,its either they are unserious or dem don get candidate for the position. Your Job is coming,this one is definitely not yours. Keep praying dear and use this lenten period to ask God for his mercy. Good luck!

Fourwinds:
so company is now church rite. dat company and d owner are demons. what is d difference between dis very incident and 666 which will be used as an identity to buy and sell. people have ridicule religion to extent dat d devil is even ashame. people(christians) now give employment base on d church u attend.

You missed the point. Believe is a sentiment that cannot be forced. This isn't about church pls. The guy believes tithes bring him blessing and that if you don't tithe you bring yourself a curse. That's his believe. He doesn't want you to bring curse to his business. Again that's his believe and he's entitled to it.

It's not about religion here, my brother. The truth is; If you don't pay your tithe, you are a thief.
