Christianity EtcRe: Is Rccg And Pastor Adeboye Obliged To Return Akingbola Looted Offering? by Enigma(m): 11:35am On Jul 22, 2010
I repeat a point made in my last post: Christ's presence convicted Zacchaeus; maybe RCCG is not convicted because Christ is not present in it?
Christianity EtcRe: Is Rccg And Pastor Adeboye Obliged To Return Akingbola Looted Offering? by Enigma(m): 10:47am On Jul 22, 2010
[quote author=omo~fat link=topic=481794.msg6429989#msg6429989 date=1279791662]^^^ Since you're so into this particular story, let take abit further.

Christ went to eat in this man's house, no?
Lets imagine that Zacc didn't feel convicted and make the offer to repay, would Christ have had to vomit the food he ate?
Would the folks outside have been justified to come and carry Christ because he "knowingly" ate in a crooked man's house?

I'm not saying the church should be a haven for all kinds of criminals but come on, be fair.

As someone said earlier, are you also going to go after the children's schools and everyone Akingbola ever donated money to?

Come on[/quote]You don't understand the story.

Christ chose to dine with Zacchaeus knowing beforehand that Zacc was a tax collector BUT also knowing that His (Christ's) presence with Zacc would convict Zacc. Maybe Christ is not present in RCCG which is why RCCG does not feel convicted?
Christianity EtcRe: Is Rccg And Pastor Adeboye Obliged To Return Akingbola Looted Offering? by Enigma(m): 10:29am On Jul 22, 2010
^^^^ If and when RCCG are convicted by Christ's teaching they will know what to do.

If RCCG is led and directed by the Holy Spirit rather than mammon, they will know what to do.

EDIT Remember our friend Zacchaeus? When he was convicted by Christ's teaching, he knew what to do without needing to be told.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Rccg And Pastor Adeboye Obliged To Return Akingbola Looted Offering? by Enigma(m): 10:14am On Jul 22, 2010
^^^ And RCCG does not feel convicted about receiving stolen money? Is RCCG really following Christ then?
Christianity EtcRe: Is Rccg And Pastor Adeboye Obliged To Return Akingbola Looted Offering? by Enigma(m): 10:06am On Jul 22, 2010
[quote author=omo~fat link=topic=481794.msg6429672#msg6429672 date=1279788267]Christ didn't tell Zacc to return the money, Christ didn't force Zacc to return the money - Zacc himself felt convicted and offered to refund whatever stolen money he had with interest. Get the story right.[/quote]So, Zacc felt convicted by Christ's teaching; but the RCCG does not feel convicted by Christ's teaching!

Which one of them is Christ's follower then? Does RCCG believe in Christ at all, then?
Christianity EtcRe: Top 10 Reasons Why Jesus Christ Is Not God by Enigma(m): 9:45am On Jul 22, 2010
Last two posts quite good; Jesus is God of course and said so Himself.

The Christians arguing against this simply do not understand what it means to say "Jesus is God".

We can ignore the non-Christians altogether --- unless they are seeking genuine understanding even as they disagree.

Luke 19: 1-10 . . .

I guess going by your logic, Zaccheus should have waited for "proof" and "legal body" to convict him rather than the presence of Christ alone being sufficient. Note that the declaration of salvation was after the restitution promise by Zaccheus.
But obviously Adeboye and others like him are not worshipping the God of Christ but something else.
anonimi:
plenty questions- one simple answer:

follow the example of Christ with Zaccheus as stated in my previous post except the church is not of Christ. shocked
Very good answer  too.

Also, below is an interesting exercise in 'logic':

- Akingbola has not been convicted of stealing

- RCCG has not been proven to have received stolen money from Akingbola

- James Ibori has not been convicted of looting

- Babangida has not been convicted of looting

- Abacha was never convicted of looting

- Abacha was never convicted of brutality

- Abacha was never convicted of killing Ken saro Wiwa
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: All About Multi Lnb Setup by Enigma(m): 6:16pm On Jul 21, 2010
If I've got this to work, you should see a Raven 90 dish with 7 LNBs on it though it can actually receive from 8 satellites as one of the LNBs get signals from 2 different satellites.

Starting from extreme left right as we look at it: 1w, 5e, 7e & 9e, 13e (centre), 16e, 19e, 28e.

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: All About Multi Lnb Setup by Enigma(m): 5:57pm On Jul 21, 2010
The attached file was drawn up by a kind poster on satellites.co.uk; see http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dish-setup-guides-information-threads-faqs/133694-offset-lnb-monobloc-lnb-guide-pdf.html

It will give an idea of how satellite signals are reflected (as with a mirror) in a multi-LNB set up.

I will post something equally interesting in the next post.

I should point out a qualification that I added on the multi-LNB thread.

My earlier reply was based on the positioning of the LNBs alone. The LNBs are correctly Nilesat at focus, 7e at B and 28e at C. I do not think your arrows showing the incoming directions of the waves and signals are correct --- but that is not critical for practical purposes; that is more relevant for theoretical understanding.

@freshp

Exactly! W3A is 7e and multi TV is 28e; normally, they should be on the other side of the Nilesat LNB except that the east is reversed to "west" in multi LNB setup.

What confused me earlier was that the LNB which you now call 7e, Microgiant had referred to as 22w ---- which cannot really be correct.

Is Malagasy on W3A?

EDIT I now realise that "Malagasy" or "Madagascar" refers to the MBCs on 7e ----- so you are totally correct.

You sure know how to ride a horse then.  You come off your low horse, It is not an assumptions, it is what i know for a fact, no wonder you claimed to read all about multi tv here when there is in fact a thread open for that. I am doing my job as moderator, I am not here to please you.

That will be an abuse of moderator powers --- in so far as the chap does not break the rules. And that is not simply because it has happened to me too in the past.

Naah, I don't think he has enough 'integrity' or 'cleverness' to go for even that! My suspicion is that it is one of those "PhDs" you can buy for about $300 or so based on your "life experience". Don't be surprised to see Joagbaje parading a "PhD" soon when he is able to raise enough money to buy one.

@Joagbaje

Here, go and get your own "PhD" too!

N15m scam rocks Chris Oyakhilome’s church
23 November, 2009 01:27:00 Reports

Another round of crisis is rocking Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Christ Embassy, as a former student of Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State, Victor Osagie, alias Jerry Finger, has admitted defrauding foreigners of $96,607( about N15million) and spending the proceeds on tithes and offerings in the church.

Osagie, a 23 -year old former Chemical Engineering student who dropped out of the university in 2004 due to what he called ‘family issues’, was picked up by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Benin, following a petition by a regional compliance officer with Moneygram International, who suspected that the number of foreign ladies, mostly Americans and Germans, who have been sending money to the fraudster were victims of fraud.

@Enigma, Pls i'm a newbie in this stuff. Kindly what are feeds, how can one use/utilise them with his decoder if possible. Thanx a lot. You guys are doing great job. Keep it up.
Don't worry, friend, we were all newbies at one point.  smiley

A "feed" in our context is a satellite television signal used by an operator to supply pictures/sound to stations that are far away. Let us say you are in Abuja watching NTA Abuja but NTA Abuja wants to receive a transmission from NTA Enugu; one of the ways by which NTA Enugu can send the transmission to Abuja is by a satellite feed which NTA Abuja will receive ("download"wink and transmit to their viewers.

If you want to enjoy NTA feeds and e.g. watch the newscasters while they are preparing to read the news try 27.5w on C Band; when I had it I used to be able to see the newscasters joking around or adjusting their make-up etc before reading the news.  grin

@ Hotwire

Could you please confirm the name of the satellite (or the orbital position) that you receive with the second (i.e. 'Madagascar') LNB. This is because I don't think it is NSS 7 (22w?) as Microgiant stated it.

@ Microgiant

Many many thanks for the pictures.

Well, as was said of him the fraudulent wolf in sheep clothing that is Joagbaje has so far been unable to redeem his own integrity.

However, even as it is most desirable for a sinner to turn away from his sin, again here is one more chance for pasiiiitor Joagbaje to redeem himself:

. . . could you please tell us which university or institution he (Oyakhilome) got his PhD from and in which year?

i will really love to see how you did it since to the best of my knowledge multi tv is on the east while nilesat is on the west. . . for malagasy i can understand its close to nilesat. but multi tv. . .well
i need to know
When you are using a multi-LNB setup the central LNB remains where it will be as aligned to the focus satellite. However, the other LNBs are placed in "reverse" i.e. an LNB for a satellite that is east in the sky will be placed "west" on the LNB rail and vice versa. This is because the satellite signals are reflected at an angle especially on an offset dish.

And concordance with word of exhortation. In your rage and jealousy you didnt even bother to find out about it. This is just a tip of the iceberge.

According to various things that we have read, heard or even watched him say himself:

1. God once told the G.O. that out of thousands of people present in one gathering only about a dozen or so "would make heaven" if the world ended then.

2. He once invited God to drink tea and his cup of tea became half-full

3. When he is standing at his gatherings including ("Holy Ghost" nights), god is always talking to him there and then e.g. telling him that one person with headache "is receiving healing", another person with bad mouth odour is getting his healing, another one who farts all the time is being restored to her pride etc etc etc ad nauseam

This same G.O., god now refused to tell him that his lieutenants including Akingbola are thieves?? ?? ??

May God forgive your dirty heart. I'm a DuncE. Phd is fake. What is your proof.  If I prove to you it's genuine won't you call it worldly? The degree was important for umbelievers like you. Are you aware pastor Chris produced a bible? And fir such bible to be authorized internationaly, one must meet some requirement? I'm a Dunce? . And other materials will be produced soon . Commentaries etc. I'm a Dunce?

Intact you deserve a slap!

GBOGA! Take that for your face!
With this post you have shown by your own words that you are indeed an ignoramus and a dunce. And of course you have not denied, let alone disprove, that you are a weasel.  smiley

Yeah right, opaks Oyaks Oyakhilome "produced a bible" indeed. The ignoramus is referring to one of the cheating fads of various WoF "preachers" to make merchandise of their victims by packaging a regular Bible e.g. the KJV (especially if public domain), write a few words or "prayer points" here and there and sell to their victims. And in the case of a dunce like Joagbaje, the mugs say "oh, he is so great he has even produced a Bible". Where, when and how is such a Bible "authorized internationally"?
