I find it hard to stay in one church since I left chapel of his glory (back in Ado Ekiti).

Other churches I have attended always lack

The word
Good music
Fine babes
Good structure.
Good sound.

There was one church I attended (CAC) Chai... I wish they can just change their while choir. Filled with old women and dull youths. The service was awesome though (Educated pastor... Something you hardly see in CAC)

I attended coza one time and I don't wanna leave the church auditorium again. Wish I can keep going back there but the distance from my house ehn.

So nowadays I just stay at home on Sundays and watch TV sermon

You can shove your opinion way up your ass till it comes out of your throat.

Not even the Pope can stop me from being Catholic.

I'm Catholic today because I have managed to convince myself and actually believe the practices and doctrine, although not entirely. And that shows I have a brain. I think fro myself. I don't just swallow everything from Vatican.

grtfem:

Very good brother, it is always good to enjoy the best of two worlds you are saying to yourself? you want to remain a catholic and at the same time enjoy the DEFAULT SIN (dissobidence), no sir, not good for you, you need to pick one. as for your insults, am i suppose to reply you, no sir, not brought up that way. today when you hear his words, harden not your heart.

I have been to a couple of branches of mfm and including the prayer city and I have never experienced what you are talking about neither have I witnessed it

HeyCorleone:
I'm Catholic.

I don't really fancy the stress of believing in Mary as an intercessor. I get the reason why and I totally understand the role she played but I don't think it's a compulsion to say prayers such as hail Mary or even view her as an intercessor.

I've tried to believe but my faith can't carry it. Should that make me less Catholic? No.

OK cool, well how often do u attend their events/services? I'm sure if you're a member or a regular church goer you will come across this. I've gone as a visitor after being invited by a friend who is a Pentecostal Christian worshipper and I've seen instances where you will pay just to attend the service.... as an outsider you will see this as an instance dictating just another form of initiation by way of paying an unnecessary tithe

allanphash7:
Though I'm not a Christian

But i want church to stop asking for idamewa (Tithe) and offering

They should also stop telling people that there is heaven and hell

They should stop that...
.



...thinking

SAMBARRY:
that's definitely not a genuine church or genuine mfm. Secondly I am not a regular of mfm I only go there once in a while but all the times I have been there never heard of such

You must have entered a fake church camouflaging as mfm just to extort money from spiritually and mentally gullible people. If you were really sensitive you should have known something funny is fishy when they asked you to pay gate fee

I expect you to have walked away however if you didn't hope you got value for your money I. E when service was going on they served you fried rice, fried chicken and nice juice drinks? Did they treat you with respect and courtesy? Did you ask the pastor to keep quiet when your phone was ringing because you had to answer a call. Basically did you get good customer service because I don't know since when the word of God became for sale

Well no offence but I think a member of the MFM church can testify to this sort of thing going on. the time I went it was when the MFM thing was really taking off, particularly in Nigeria. I can't say that I'm sensitive in this regard but I will say that this kind of thing do make one sceptical about the type of practices exhibited by such churches. I wasn't served any form of refreshment, however I did notice the normal thing of people using the church as a place of business to sell food and drink which I cant personally say that I agree with. All in all I just don't agree with this whole wave of enterprise and money making that is been conducted in churches nowadays. Even in the catholic church I go to now. its been a few years back now where there have been priests who come in and during mass/service after delivering sermon turn the whole thing into an auction by halting the conclusion of proceedings by compelling the congregation to come forward and donate particular amounts of money before concluding which I feel is wrong. We have set and regimented offerings .i.e. communal and maintenance offering which is completely voluntary and enough in my humble opinion. In short I think the style of Pentecostal worship should not be brought to the Catholic or any other denomination of the church for that matter

Jofet:
Church members MUST marry only within the church, if you marry someone who is not a member of your church, you are seen a sinner.
That crab sucks!!!!

There is no church name in Heaven, only blood washed saints "from all kindred and tongues and tribes and denomination"

MissJoy29:
I'd like my Church to stop making Tithe paying compulsory. It's compulsory in the sense that they tie it to some benefits which you can't access unless you pay regularly. That's why there's a tithe card.

I'd also like my Church to stop planting Parishes everywhere without equipping them adequately. This makes the Pastors attached to these Churches turn to mini-beggars by soliciting for funds from people anyhow and every time.

Also, the planting of Parishes anyhow gives rise to another disturbing practise: ordaining anyhow persons as Pastors. Some are too young, too inexperienced, not hot for God, not well-grounded etc.

Again, I'd like them to join the Communion Service together with the normal morning service on Sundays instead of having another service in the evening for It and doing everything(offering, Praise & Worship, testimony, Sermon, announcements etc) all over again.

Furthermore, I'd like my Church to make their universities affordable for majority of the congregants and their wards whose monies perhaps helped in building those schools. It's only fair, right & Christainly to do so.

Finally, I don't think I will ever understand the practice of smaller Parishes and school fellowships remitting a certain percentage of their collections to the National Headquarters or to the General Overseer's account directly. Except there's something I'm missing. Cos I think the tap should flow from full to empty or half empty/half full and not the other way around.

laudate:


Thou shalt not lie. Which branch of MFM did you go to, and you were asked to pay gate fee? I am not a member of MFM, but I have been invited to their Prayer City at Ibafo before, as well as their HQ. And there was no gate fee. Even the branch in my area, does not have gate fee!



Thank you, o! My neighbour is a dedicated member of MFM, and is even a church worker there. She just told me that no such thing exists in their church. She also said that any pastor who collects such a thing, will be heavily sanctioned if it ever occurs. he has invited me for a few programmes and when I went there, I did not see any such thing.
