StupidYorubaFool:
why english when you can't even speak it fluently

why not ?
Which Nigerian language apart from your mother tongue can you speak fluently ?

Sexxkillz:
Saying the same thing.

They have to get to a breaking point (point of no return) before they cut contact. When contact is cut, nothing ever remains the same except moving on.

From what I know, some would cut contact but won't move on, sometimes they cut contact because they feel he would "come back to his senses".



Anyways, instead of all the "scope" and long drama it is better to just tell her it is over, it saves time, let her cry once and move.

Sexxkillz:
Not when they do the breaking up themselves.

Lol
some girls won't break up ooo , not in the dictionary.
They would rather cut contact.

Sexxkillz:
Telling hurts. . . The best way sometimes is to make them leave, thinking they left of their own accord.

No.
They would leave, but won't totally leave. They would feel they must have done something wrong for him to change, it would leave them feeling inadequate. They would go into another relationship with their minds still in the previous one , because they would be hoping he misses them and would come back. It probably always leave them feeling like something is missing. I insist you you tell.

Idiot.

Not fair. if you are tired of her, be matured and sensible..tell her!

Just look at all of you. smh.

country for hard workers.

English for unity sake.

Gappy Ranks.....Stinking rich.

Marvel1206:


you should also know that for every major decision taken, there must be at least a reason...

But wait, you mean he should stand up in the middle of the church and start listing their faults? There are other ways to go about it

Lol no, not exactly.
And he has already stated his reasons.

kolaish:
Good to hear your comments. But you can be part of the change in the House of God (church). You can express your feelings about offerings in the church in any forum possible. Don't just keep quiet and run away from the church, it is your father's house. There was a particular church i attended about 10 years ago and they do offerings up to 5 times. I stood up in one of the Sunday Bible Study to admonish the church about it and to my suprise other church members joined the chorus.

That's what OP should have done, he should have said it there and Then and the issue would be resolved, instead he ran home to type it on nairaland.

Mrbigman1:


This is a media outlets and onaikan might get hold of this easier than publishing it in the national daily or writing the bishop.

Like I said, am not here to condemn no body, I have 4 cousin priest but that shouldn't withhold me from sayn the truth. This same act u wanna exhibit made the last pope retire, "seeing and not saying".

See, I mentioned 6 offering first before talking of harvest, is 6 offering not too loud? For heavens sake, even if u re building, why not take it gently?
My parish priest was even laughing when no body was coming out again.
In my parish, if u go more than 2 or maximum 3, no body will answer u again plus st. Vincent de Paul will still go round.

Common dear, it's difficult even though u do it from ur freewill, people do it selflessly not persuasively. Cos seating on d pew while others re out is so persuasive.

Far from the offering, what about other issues?
I was in Onithsa on Monday and my sister's children wia reciting dia cathcism book and I heard some obsolete words, my sister even laughed out loud and told the children it's a lie.
Me? I was in d visitors room listening and laughing too.

I have no problem with voicing out, I have problem with where you are voicing out, first who would take action here? nobody knows which parish you are talking about, they just know its Catholic and thats not cool.
And please one issue at a time, is it catechism? or is it the sins of the priests? or is it multiple offertory? it seems you just want to say something bad. And we both know that nothing will be done through nairaland, people will just come and agree with you that's all, how will that solve it?

Mrbigman1:
I decided to visit another parish today because mine was having youth harvest today and I needed to be at home to run one or two things before noon.
On getting to the said parish, it was my parish priest that was to celebrate mass dia, chai! Him go say na cos of harvest I run; I stayed back anyway.

During offering time I got a wonderful experience I have never seen before. We had about 23 offerings. Not exaggerating.
1. Project offering
2. Building project offering
3. Eucharistic offering which was actually the first.
4. Mission Sunday offering.
5. All men.
6. All female
7. Monthly thanksgiving.
Dey now proceeded to harvest thanksgiving wia d families who re to have dia thanksgiving came out one after the other,
Then birthday and other thanksgiving proceeded.

This is a very big shock to me cos as at last week Sunday, a communique of the bishop conference of Nigeria warned about excessive collection from parishioners. That the first offering is the only offering the church has right to ask for, the others, the church should inform it's members two weeks before hand about it.
I saw this and many other rules from the communique been broken today with ease.

Am on the fact that the church should be giving back to the society what the society gave back to them in time of plenty, not enslaving people to give even when dey barely have hence making people grumble while offering.
An elderly man by me turned to me and asked me if I had change of 100 Naira (20 naira) so he can continue with he procession. I just looked at him and said to myself " u think u re doing God? U re doing urself"

The final shocking thing was, the parish priest of the church came in much later during announcements and started talking about MMM, and other networking and persuading his members to join and under him. I almost stood up to leave but had to wait to get it all.

Am not condemning the Catholic church which I am a ardent member of but cry should reach the bishop of abuja and other higher authority that catholicism is sliding faster in the country, in warri here, the bishop needs money more than your salvation, he plays dirty politics that Is so shameful and in the south east, the teachings are so uncivil. Some parish priest in warri sometimes was calling a married woman in my present and she told me all he has being doing. She even put the call on speak out and I was marvelled how a priest got such line and how depth in lust he must have gone.
The ciwa college in port Harcourt is a site for prostitution. They hire prostitutes on a daily basis and u see the girls leaving every morning during morning mass. I confronted one outta curiosity and she told me everything. What a shame.
One can still imagine rev mbaka's reaction during his transfer, my cousin who's a priest refused to shake my hand because I have beards. I looked at him in great pity.

Am just saying all this for corrective measures to be implemented and not to mare the image of the church as the church is loosing members on a daily basis and maybe the pope need to come down here already.

Please lalasticlala help take this to fp.
Thanks

if you were a Catholic, you know nairaland is not the right place. Why didn't you write the bishop? Is it on nairaland you want "corrective measures" to be implemented?
they advised against multiple collections probably because it takes time and as for the family thanksgiving and birthday thanksgiving the church is not Breaking any rule, so people should stop thanking God because you want to "run one or two things before noon" sometimes its even these families that beg to have their thanksgiving.
And who told you that the members were not informed?
It's not even your parish, so you dont even know what plans they have made for the thanksgiving.
It's the period of thanksgiving if you have problems with that write the bishop and stop this early morning drama.

savagery look what the world has turned into some even got punished for getting molested. I weep.

Sexxkillz:
Rubbish.

Men who cheat do so because they want to. It's their choice. There should be no fucking excuses. It's either yes, or no. You can't stand on the fence. If you want to be a sinner, be a sinner and sin boldly. If you want to cheat, cheat boldly. Stop hiding around from your wife like a small rat. That you are keeping it a secret means that you know it is wrong, but you still want to do it.

It's a choice you make. No excuses.


Making excuses for your actions makes you look hopelessly immature and lacking common sense. It's like robbing a bank, getting caught and then blaming the devil for pushing you to rob. Don't be stupid.

It's either you do it or you don't.

EyeHateGod:

Can u please exolian how God created u? Do u know what the word "Create" means? And besides ever heard of reproduction b4?

Atheism has got noting to do with Belief ma pls if u know one can u state it? Am getting tired of educating u guys

oga first, I do not need your 'education'
atheism has a lot to do with belief
atheist BELIEVE that there's no God (and a host of others), that's a belief.
if you open your eyes and read my post well you will notice that I said 'just as atheists believe in whatever they believe in which is most times not logical too so do CHRISTIANS believe in theirs.'
I didn't say 'I' So don't ask me to explain how I was created. if you want to know how YOU were created then read Genesis....oops, I forgot, the bible is just a book which atheists do not BELIEVE in.

Synzu:
And Seun will be somewhere feeling like a forum owner with over 3million topics to boast of.

I literally choked.

speechless

Mcowubaba:

Error
Actually being very logical and using ur sense is a great step towards Atheism...
Because logically there are lots of Proposed redolent Fallacies in the Bible but Christians are indoctrinated not to doubt the Holy scriptures .
For instance, logically: feeding of Four Thousand nd five Thousand people with few bread and fishes as recorded in Matthew Gospel is not feasible, but as Christians we are told that is MIRACLE
Red sea division
Walking on water
Christians are taught not to doubt or reason cognitively about the Scripture....

every human created by God is blessed with clean sense and being logical is by default.
just as atheists believe in whatever they believe in which is most times not logical too so do Christians believe in theirs.
No need for one to claim their belief is as a result of their being logical.

Being logical and making use of your sense does not make you an atheist.

Mcowubaba:
I don't understand what has been happening, I no longer do the following
1) Listen to pastors preach on the bus or roadside, because most atimes the will ask for offering or pledges after their sermon.
2) I don't oppose gays neither do I endorse them

3) Going to Church regularly, I have attended different churches in recent times, hoping to find a good one, but the all have the same strategic planning- great sermon/Bible exposition, great offerings and fund raising. Offerings have different names and titles, Thanksgiving, adoration, firstfruits, last fruit, Televangelism, Charity, Tithe, worship and prosperity offering , even fasting offering all this offerings in this Buhari's administration.

Now...
I'm thinking more logically than Religiously, calling a Spade a Spade. Not being Politically correct, the Touch don't my annoited syndrome of most so called Christians.
Pastor dey Bleep up, u no go condemn am, u go dey reason Touch not the annoited, who annoit am

Anyway, I Pray to have the Zeal, good guidance and passion for Christianity...
Churches are not encouraging me.

Ps... I am not broke or stingy about offering, but I don't wanna fund the next Private Jet of a Nigerian pastor

oga you are still a Christian, you neither oppose nor endorse gays because its not the job of a Christian to judge. The fact that you don't get carried away by the sweet talking 'men of gods' is because you are making use of the sense that God gave you. .

LOL.

Even the Structure of Nigerian Economy confuse the guy

lol

And some of us cant even get a 'happy birthday' chai

He said our minds.
Lets fight for/with him.
