Haba sandee575   The thread was from from a joke section. Have we come to this? are we now going in the petty direction? did i ever say i was a born again? I am a struggling christian like everyone else. eh na wa oooh. you have lost the arguement and are now going into smear campaign mode. haba dont be childish now.

To me, since i believe in God, tithing is like saving up for a rainy day and God is the CBN. even if the bank md's squander my money i have insurance with God and i can withdraw my money later.

@Tudor I dont know why i have to keep repeating this, please and please, do not let poverty and fustration dictate your interpretation of the bible. Life go better by Gods grace

ttalks Like i said b4 most people are so fustrated with life that they lash out at everything and everyone. From my original post i have shown my disgust for pastors who take advantage of their flock but as a christian i have to do what the bible says. word of advice, do not let poverty dictate your interpretation of the bible.

@Sandee575    So you are not completely lost. Yes success is relative. The reason you question so much is because you believe only in the financial part and forget all others. I think there is hope for you.

What i come to find out is that most people are so dissappointed and fustrated with life that they lash out at anything. My beliefs are no concern of yours. Have i questioned your logic in being an aethist? what ever works for you mmeeenn. I shudder to live where i do not believe in anything.

@Anonimi Like i said wallow in ignorance

@Sandee575 To you it is stupid, to me it is a rule laid out in the bible which has guided me to this day and made me very very successful. Obviously you are of low esteem and intellect otherwise i would share my knowledge on karma and natural laws with you. But alas i fear that my time and knowledge would be wasted. Please wallow in ignorance.

@Tudor   Granted there are lots of fake pastors out there who take advantage of us. These pastors are aethist like you who see the business side to christianity. That will not stop me from paying my tithe and making my offerings to the almighty. What those pastors do with it is none of my business so long as i have done my part. I can only complain and maybe those your brothers will see the light and actually change. And do you know why i do this? because i believe in God and the bible. Why do you continue to vote knowing that PDP will rig the election? You know that the rule is to vote and the exception is pdp's rigging. It is not normal. shikena

Nigerians with uni/poly war. Small wonder why we are always thrashed by the western world. Whatever your degree, be it in university of polytechnic is just a preamble. Upon graduation you still need to certify yourself in whatever field you have eventually chosen. I graduated with an HND in public admin, got another degree in marketing, got trained in the army as an engineer and now hold a isaca certification in information system auditing. The funny thing is i already have a job in England as an info systems auditor come 2011. My employers recognise my certification and not how many degrees i have. proffessional certification is the way to go.

@Poster Wetin na seun? why you delete my first post? you no wan make i advise the guy? take time ooooo Anyway poster do not give anybody your money when it comes to online business. It has been proven that 90% of online business is fraudulent. The three best ways of making money on the internet is forex trading, ecurrency exchange bussiness and the sales of information. My guy look b4 you leap. Anybody tells you that you've go to pay a small fee to start is definitely trying to dupe you.

even with one man down i knew it was over when Roberto Baggio equalised against us in USA 94

I rest my case since you believe that whoever follows God is stupid. Why didn't you tell me before hand that you were an aethist? just de let me waste my saliva. As an aethist you have a right to your own beliefs as i do mine. so do not impose yours on mine. Shikena

@huxley Obviously i have countered your arguement with logical, precise, and calm rebuttals. Also i am quite sure you did not read my initial post because if you did you would realise that i am against pastors taking advantage of their flocks. I believe that whatever monies i pay is to God through man. You seem hell bent on being aggressive and abusive. Or England no pay you? No be fight now.

@huxley My answer is, do you believe in the bible and the teaching on paying tithe and offering? if you do not then do not bother replying.

I knew it was over when she jumped from the bridge into the lagoon

Meen, there is absolutely nothing they do that i hate. I see them as the spice of life which makes this world more interesting. the more flaws they have, the more interesting it gets

You are going about this the wrong way. Just find a poster of michael Jackson and paste it where she will always see it.

I am a christian and i believe in God and that Jesus is the son of God and through him will i see the kingdom. I also believe in the bible and it's teachings and part of the teachings is that we must make offerings and pay our tithe. But these so called pastors are testing me seriously. God also gave me free will to make up my own mind and make my own decisions. I have come to the conclusion that most of these pastors are crooks and are preying on people. But that will not stop me from paying my tithe and offerings because ultimately it is God i am giving and since i believe in him and his devine justice, surely their time will come. Can you imagine, buying jets that their flock cannot use. Building schools that the congregation cannot afford. The message is no longer salvation but the aqcuisiton of wealth. Well God de.

Government contract, bribery, corruption, payoffs, so what else is new?

@Chosen04 Dont be daft

I am a very shy person, (except on nairaland of course ) and i hate/hated the waiting game BS. My wife noticed this when we first met and she took the bull by horn, (or is it the other way around) and told me point blank that she likes me and she knows i like her so lets cut the crap. 2 years later we were married and ten years and 2 sons later it is as if we just met yesterday. My point being that women are very intuitive. if there is a chemistry they will know. So sister, call him if there is and dont if there isn't. Maybe you still need time to know each other.

Also true

ooooooooo, now i'm confused,

@bolanleodu ol boy you wicked oooo. i be think say na joke sha. so e de possible to denounce our citizenship. you must be a legal luminary.

@Jakumo

That is nothing new, all our corrupt leaders do not know we exist. That is part of the reason they are corrupt.

Make una leave the poor man alone. You think it is easy to spend years cramming the bible? This is the sweetest gig ever, especialy when your flock is poverty stricken. Hope must come from somewhere? whatever it takes meeen.

Yes there are ways to do that. Refuse to vote, marry someone from another country, preferably from the western world, learn a different language, preferably spanish, avoid performing your civic duty and deny when anybody accuses you of being a Nigerian. Yes ''accuse, 'cause it seems to be a crime nowadays.

Thank God!!!!
