1. I stopped going to church the day I realized that the Sabbath day is Saturday and not their Sunday.

2. I stopped going the say I realized Sunday is the first day of the week and not the seventh day.
3. I stopped going the day I realized that Sunday was a day Romans set aside for the worship of their sun god (SUN-day.)

4. I stopped going the day I learn that church has no place in the scriptures.

5. I stopped going the day I realized that no Prophet of Abba Yahuah preached in a place called church.

6. I stopped going the day I realized that there's only one Supreme Being called Abba Yahuah and no other.

7. I stopped going the day I realized that Yeshua Hamashia'c didn't tell us He is God but human beings did etc

Are you a Judaism follower?

The bible already give us expo of what will happen in the end. Charity and philanthropy is the gate pass to heaven, not church attendance or miracle works

As much as I don't like attacking or criticizing churches,I have a feeling that that is the purpose of this thread because if not so why this thread of all days, sunday.meanwhile as irritating as Muslims can be with their violent and unruly tendencies,you Will never see them badmouthing where they go to slam their head.even they themselves know that they are toxic to each other but you will never see them opening their yansh for the world to see.yes they're overbearing but they have unity of purpose and know how to cover each others bs.

Christians it's enough stop running down churches and pastors.yes we have bad eggs amongst pastors making Christianity seem like a joke but dragging them every Sunday will change nothing.going to church is a personal decision.if you want to go,go,if you don't want to go you can rest at home but it's not necessary to state why you chose not to go to church because you owe no one any explanation.christianity is an individual race not a collective journey

You completely missed the purpose of the thread.

This thread has nothing whatsoever to do with muslims. It's a soul searching one where people come out and give reasons why they stopped going to churches.

Churches and mosques are the reasons for the mass decline in critical reasoning in this country.

By the time you come to reality that the life you have is a scam because it is temporary you'll go to serve the the giver of that life not minding the environment.
Som3e that had given their reason can you categorically say in your own right that your life pleases God as you abandon church.

The reason I don't go to church is because I use Saturday and Sunday as resting day then Monday to Friday is work days for me; I take my time to rest well at home; going to church is kind of stress to Me

Well my 1 penny advice is: do not go or stop going to churches with a man's picture boldly clearly printed on the banner/sign post/board of the church.

When you go to such churches you are mostly going there to serve serve the man/woman displayed!
absolutely correct

Reading tweets from Daddy Freeze opened my eyes to the scam we have in Nigeria.
Every year the big churches give prophetic declarations and whatever but none of them saw Covid-19 in their vision(s).
A place I was coerced to attend, the Pastor was more interested in winning members, He questions the poor and subtly worship the rich amongst them. He opened another branch and gave his son charge of the place(Family business) and just like every other church our there.
Most Pastors in Nigeria started under a particular brand and after about 10yrs or more of serving, they open their own church. That Pastor-prenticeship business.
People even go as low as using shops or upgraded kiosks as churches so they can be called GOs
These days, I go to church to woo the new females or if I got a new pair of kicks, not to show off but to flex it cool

So you remember that Olukoya's son case.
The sad reality
His own is even small compared to the late Benson Idahosa case, when the elders rebelled against the choice of his wife and children as his successors, the church which was one of the biggest at the time died off afterwards

You can be a Christian without living your life on any pastor. It's so bad to see pastors lying, cheating and even scamming. Not only in Nigeria anyway. Bible is not wrong when it said christianity is individual race.

A Nigerian guy took his Canadian oyinbo girlfriend to a crusade in Canada. Nigerian pastor started praying that Canadian government should forgive students on sturdy loans. Oyinbo babe excused herself out, asking her boyfriend how will the upcoming students survive if the present ones don't pay?

You should be more protected than the CBN headquarters because you are a national treasure .


My local church has been paying huge tithes to the headquarters in Benin (CGMI) for more than 15 years ,,,,,, the Church have been applauded by the district headquarters, the Zonal Headquarters and the Church leadership for their faithfulness in remitting tithes promptly and bountifully , yet the local church have been struggling to pay rents to 4 different landlords which owned the various portions of the church land for donkey years now .

No good modern church instruments , no good facility because of the possibility of eviction cos of the tenancy , no good equipments etc , yet the local church keep remitting money monthly and even after conducting Annual Thanksgiving harvests , CGMI Benin keeps flourishing while the local church keeps languishing in penury .

Each time our branch pastor apply to the district, zone or Headquarters, we are promised to be assisted with the purchase of a land very soon , they will send a big Man of God to come and applaud us for complying with remittance and assure us about the land , even telling us to look for one around , we will search and show them but they wouldn't do nothing until another Church buys it ..

If they had allowed the local church autonomy to use its money generated to purchase the land and go for good instruments , the Church would have done that long ago but the big Churches continue to tax and fleece the local church just like the Federal Government is living large on the wealth of the Niger Delta states while the states continue to languish in underdevelopment and poverty..

Like Federal Government, like Pentecostal churches, like Politicians like pastors , they all hate restructuring and live on lies ...

These days I see Churches especially Pentecostal ones as a social gathering to just go to enjoy your fine clothes and snap good pics there after service and catch fun , THERE IS NO PRESENCE OF GOD THERE.

No presence of God whatsoever.
Only fleeting emotional experiences which passes and I will never pay a dime into a Nigerian church, instead I will go to the orphanage s, prisons and help people in need directly.

I will never feed and support the greed of one lazy pastor.

We go all get sense in Jesus name.
