Please urgent advise is need. A friend of mine who is an Eckist or member of Eckankar has confided in that his family has concluded plans to disown him because of his membership of the religious group.

They accused him of using occultic powers to hoodwink members of his family. His younger brother said he bumped into his diary where he wrote the family members' names and also different bizarre names beside each for reasons no one could explain.

He has been mandated to denounce his membership or get expelled from the family.

Really?
And you did another naming ceremony for them abi.

If the bolded is true, they should go ahead and disown him. If I hear any member of my family is into any of the below, our relationship will be as distant as from here to the North Pole:

Reformed Ogboni Fraternity
Eckankar
Amorc
Brotherhood of the Cross & star
Anything occultic.

A man's enemies shall be members of his own household

Because they don't want you in hell.


That religion will only lead you to hell

Just because a person doesn't hold same religious beliefs as you, doesn't make his/her religious body occultic.

Whilst I was in the university in Nigeria, I attended Eckankar, AMORC and regular churches. Some of my friends thought I was weird. Most of them thought I was completely mad. None realized that I was just trying to be myself; I was trying to understand the different religion so I could better understand and live harmoniously with people of different religious background and worldviews.

In the developed world, nobody cares whether you are a Muslim, a Christian, or a person with no religion.

If I were the guy, I'll disown such a family before they do. They are not his family members. A family will respect and support your individual decision, religious view inclusive.

Everyone must not be a Christian!

Who has bewitched Nigeria?

They should disown him if he still lives under and feeds off them .....

You start having any atom of opinion when you are TOTALLY on your own.

Nairaland and my friend, my friend friend


Oga stop going to eckanka dey are more or less a cult

Our religious overzealousness will never let us progress in this country. There is nothing occultic (whatever that means) about eckankar. A little Google search would have helped his family.

So why does he have their names written?

Yea they need to do that before he starts Influencing them.

Why won't they disown him when he decides to join such gathering.


isn't ekankar a cult group?

What is eckankar?...and why did he write names of people down somewhere...

If one nigga joins something I don't understand then he is a suspect.... And If I found out he wrote my name somewhere in a piece of paper and it's not list of noise makers then kasala go burst....

Family or religion.... The choice is his

If his faith in the religion is strong then he should prepare to live a hermit life.
I believe atheists are the luckiest of people. They don’t burden their minds with the chains of the ‘religious’.

Why seek knowledge that will destroy you, I have a friend that is trying to runaway from them but there is no way out.

What is eckankar?

Don't know anything about them

Respect your family.. There is safety in following family instructions, Jehovah clear your eyes in Jesus's name

Wetin him find go for eckanckar supposed reach disown am.

Eckankar dey get money oo

It's quite sad that in a country like Nigeria you get persecuted for having control over your own life and mind.. The Muslims hate that you're not a Muslim the Christian see you as a sinner even tho you've never offended them.. That's how somebody tagged me a sinner because I had earrings on.. We should learn to accept people and respect their decisions because they don't believe in what you do does not make them any less human.. Even the Bible says love your neighbor as you love yourself...

Peace happy Sunday guys

Eckankar ke

There is nothing occultic about eckankar. Please research before you conclude

Ggg

Whenever I read things like this, I weep for Africa.
With news like this, saying one believes in the order of masonry will attract stoning then. Hahaha

Eck is an occultic group that don't believe that they are occultic..

The hate the Bible with passion and won't allow it anywhere near their homes..

They believe in soul travel.. and so many other things that ain't right.

Though it's not proper to disown their kid..they should show him love of God ..pray for him . That God will touch him and bring him back to his senses..

Something made him join Eck..might be anything..power money protection..etc..

hmmm....
