There is a possibility that op & the writer may be two different people! Pls check.
Your awareness of that possibility is noted Nemynely, by all of us.

Our examination of this PROPAGANDA reveal two interesting theories, the one is that op is one person with a spit personality- schizophrenia.

The other theory is that the op realized after ten sentences that the plot for the FICTIONAL story need an expert lier, that IS were fake pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye May have offered to use his mastery of extra extra large epistles and deception to finish this article.

you and oaroloye ehn, why do you call him bronchitis? grin
TO answer your tough question Martinez19, it would require much more than your favourite LOGIC because fake pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye may take offence if we complicate his fictional character.

Therefore I will deal with your question in tiny byte sizes, if you don't mind ?

1) have you noticed what is discharged if a person is plagued with Bronchitis ?

2) describe the color, smell and texture of the Bronchial PHLEGM .

3) say yes you get this. Then I go to part two in an attempt to answer your tough question Martinez19.

@OP: did you go there to worship or to get facts for an article.
Mmmmm !! I think your observation certainly carries a lot of weight.
We notice that the more the op is examined, the less credible the story. There are thousands of lies floating around on the internet because of the cowardly and hateful 34 yr failed war against an innocent CHURCH, The SCOAN.

A FAKE pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye has refused to admit defeat and is using his last breath to prove that he will succeed where everyone else failed. CHAAI !!

The Ushers are strictly inclined and are no nonsense set of people. The control thousands of people and in order to prevent stampede, they have to follow stern procedures. I am happy that nobody said the ushers asked them for money for placement inside the church. The ushers follow strict guidelines and anyone that deviates from it losses his usherhood. In terms of dress code, this ushers handle mammoth crowd from 6pm on Saturday till Monday non stop. You don't expect them to wear suit $ tie controlling such. If you follow ushers simple instructions in SCOAN, you will enjoy the service. Every body is treated the same. Just follow the protocol set for all because when you desist, the ushers are not biased they will show you the way out. This is done in order to achieve orderliness which Nigerians don't observe naturally on their own. But dress the way you want to be addressed. SCOAN is a nice church with a God sent humble Man TB Joshua. May God bless TB Joshua

You are speaking out of ignorance or foolishness. God work is stressful and you must do it with all your heart. If the ushers cannot be friendly they should quit. How can you be defending people that will insult you and also accused you of stealing. Do you know stealing is a criminal offence and you can easily get jailed for it.

I read it all, well I am a supporter of TBJ however I am not an igBo hausa or yoruba. I have been there 3 times. I can relate to your story.

I think the yoruba ushers are the problem have you been to the canteen at the canopy? With very few foreigners And also used the one inside the church itself wit majority foreigners operating it and see the difference.

The yoruba ushers are too rude no be small. The white guys while smile at you once in awhile and won't shout at you but try the yoruba Female ushers you will see something.
Ladies and gents when going avoid the FEMALE YORUBA USHERS at all cost except she is below 21 (I met one she was sweet talked well, smiled, jumped, danced and even told me about joining one youth something can't remember it's been awhile.
Sorry my yoruba bro's and sis but I think I would advice our MOG to replace half of the yoruba with foreigners or hausa no wonder he shouts them down and the TV operator cuts it off TBJ likes his people but they don't like him he should do and relocate do you know most of the people of ikotun do not attend the church not to talk of believe him despite the free electricity the church gives them and the business boom the church created in the area sad but life is a battlefield not a play ground right?[color=#006600][/color]


You can't come from South South and talk about Church and Personality you know little or nothing about. If you grew up from an area and majority of the people there refuse to patronise you or acknowledge you there is a problem. That problem could be Trust or Envy. But here I see no envy. I think its Trust since the people there can't vouch on his Source if its God Almighty or Otherwise.

Just like your people cannot vouch for Asari as per honesty.

He doesn't give Ikotun people light he might be extending is gestures to two or more street but light source is not from him. And besides He is just fortunate to be located around an industrial zone reason for constant light in the area.

Church attendance is by choice but with you eyes opened and Gods word as your guide. By their fruit we shall know them

As per your SS ID that was revealed by your Profile grin

point of correction i never insulted tb Joshua, am even his fan but i don't like the way they Behave to visitors in that church. Listen greatness is not always about wealth and popularity. A lot of people are great in different fields and you don't know them. No one is greater than another person everyone is great in his or her own area in life. Your type of people are the kind that respect people because of wealth and fame.

In fact only those with suits can enter the front sit. imagine how people are insulted. Nawa o. Assuming our government build good hospital people won't be going for healing na

boy let me tell you something. No pastor or church is above mistake. So it's never wrong to point out that mistake. If people are complaining the ushers will behave more mature. They are not God so stop thinking what they are doing is right. Even Moses in the bible made a mistake.

Re: My Annoying Experience At SCOAN As A First-Timer By Ivan-Whyte Eagle Lawson by wakabout(m): 11:36pm On Aug 02, 2017
I believe 100% of the events as narrated by the op because I was a victim. I relate very vividly the occurrences in SCOAN particularly with regards to the so called ushers & security men.

My first case was even with the security guards at the parking lots. The guy was ordering people with so much disrespect that even our motor park touts will go green with envy.

I have visited SCOAN many times, inspite of the obvious rude attitudes of the ushers and each time I returned I swore never to set my foot there, but my mum believed so much that all life's problems will be solved once u stepped into that place, which accounted for my last visit.

I lodged in a hotel close to SCOAN even though I live in Lagos, just so I will be among the early worshipers in order to gain entry into the church auditorium. By 4.30am I was already at the church. The ushers refused us entry, with so much arrogance and directed us to one large wooden hall upstairs. We were told to wait for a pass to enable us gain entry into the church.

Before we knew it, there was service already going on and broadcast on the large TV screens. That was where I stayed until the service was over.

Meanwhile brand new coaster buses were ferrying people from the guest house into the church and bringing them back after the service.
I later was told that if you were desperate to enter the church, you must lodge in their guest house for a minimum of 3 days.

TB Joshua may be a humble man but the Nigerian ushers and security staff working for him are overzealous. They need tutoring and training on dealing with the public.
In SCOAN every unfamiliar person is a criminal suspect. But I don't blame them. It is the sick that looks for a healer. If I stayed in my house I would not have any contacts with such bunch of people.

May God take problems far away from us so that visiting places like SCOAN will be the last thing on one's mind.

aithusa:
@poster
I quite understand your plight and I must confess I'm really disappointed with the ushers' behaviour but note the following:
(1) The SCOAN church is probably the only church where the demand is far much more than the supply( I'm sure you saw the mammoth crowd)
(2)Unlike some churches, there is only one single service per day
(3) Foreigners alike are also jostling to attend this single service
(4) If you are a keen observer on Emmanuel TV when Prophet tb Joshua is ministering live, you will notice he himself normally shouts on them, trying to put them in line to correction
(5) Those ushers/workers I believe, are either not trained or are themselves overwhelmed.
(6) Finally, no matter how good any organisation is, there remains areas of imperfections that needs ammends
Hence, when visiting SCOAN, don't be distracted by the treatment but focus on what you came for.

JESUS IS LORD
My Brother you made my day with your comment.Am a card carrying member of SCOAN before our card were withdrawn from us after Man of God ordered for a review of members commitments both spiritual & financially because there are multitude who are just members for receiving from the church only because they know that Tb Joshua has spirit of giving , giving, giving to no end.
As for the ushers behaviour the problem lies with the coordinators prophet has delegated the Job's to handle in different departments most times they are bringing people who has know business being in church as a worker & prophet doesn't know about this except when an incident has taken place that is when his attention will be drawn to it & this are the reason why sometimes he will openly be shouting at them & reprimand them in present of worshippers even in some cases he will line them up for deliverance in prayerline & secondly my brothers the crowd is too overwhelming from Wednesday to Sunday new arrivals are trooping in for programme so the ushers & security's are under severe pressure but that's not an excuse for their misconduct anyway so pls focus on your spiritual benefits when you visit & not get distracted. The issue of segregation theirs no truth in it whatsoever the simple reason the church is paying much attention to them is the fact that they are coming under the invitations of the church so they have a special place for them & others coming from different African countries weather on invitation or not & people from other States in Nigeria or Nigerians who are coming under the invitations of the church.Finally excessive security's checks is as a result of high levels of attacks Snagouge has been subjected to over the years though most of the guard's are being overzealous in most case's in their duty but there are some friendly one's amongst them as well as the ushers however nobody can Rob the prophet of our generation his love for serving his maker saving humanity in Jesus Name Amen. Emmanuel Good morning.

I did check as you suggested, Nemynely.

Something is fishy ! The rumor has it that the op met the fake pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye while studying Sorcery together. Now this pastor is well known for his envy and jealousy spewed out for more than 34yrs toward the mighty SCOAN church.

Bronchitis used Hitlers cruel propaganda tactics against the humble man TB Joshua, but failed consistently for more than 34yrs so as the rumor has it he BAGGED the op at the sorcery initiation ceremony and he put pressure on her to use her moniker to continue the evil propaganda campaign, hoping to succeed this time round.

Some have hinted that the give-away was the strong emphasis in the article, about the lady with the most amazing legs Nigeria have ever seen. Now it is well known that Bronchitis is fixated on RAPE IS NOT A SIN, therefore the connection. Why would a person complain about poor service in the most powerful modern history has encountered and focus so strongly on an unknown lady's incredible legs ?

I am a Born Again, Full Gospel Pentecostal Christian, unaffiliated with any species of Organized Christianity whatsoever.

I am no fan of TEMITOPE BALOGUN JOSHUA, nor his SYNAGOGUE CHURCH OF ALL NATIONS- on the contrary, I find them disgusting.

I demand that they repent forthwith.

Otherwise, they will wish they had listened to me, when it was painless.

Of course I had to be interested in your Post, given its title.

I was rather disappointed by the account, given the propaganda on how great the Ministry is.

I knew that I was being lied to the whole time: I just never believed that it would be this bad.

TUBERCULOSIS JOSHUA is really much weaker than I could have imagined, if this is how he permits his staff to behave toward visitors.

So yesterday I went to the Synagogue Church of all Nations.
.
...For the very first time.
.
Well...I have been watching Prophet TB Joshua on Emmanuel TV for sometime now and I must say that I find his ministry pretty captivating.
Of course,being someone who believes in miracles,it is no news that I would want to be a TB Joshua fan.The simplicity,and graceful humility the man exudes in his ministrations causes my heart to warm.

This is why I wrote THIS Post, about the PREREQUISITE REQUIREMENTS TO BIBLE DISCUSSION.

WHO are you, and what are you doing in a Church?

You're NOT a Christian.

I mean, that you are not a Disciple of the Lord Yahshua (there was no letter "J" until about 400 years ago. No way was his Name ever "JESUS."wink

So, why go to a Church at all?

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5758820_memegeorgeorwellfirstduty001_jpeg10a8ef5b3aa3340aa96039b68ed9089b

The Lord EXPLICITLY COMMANDED:

. MATTHEW 24:3-5.

3. And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives,
the Disciples came unto him privately,
saying,

"Tell us, when shall these things be?
and what shall be
The Sign of thy Coming,
and of The End of the World?"

4. And Jesus answered
and Said unto them,

"Take heed that no man deceive you.
5. "For many shall come in my Name,
saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many."


. MATTHEW 24:21-26.

21. "For then shall be Great Tribulation,
such as was not since
the Beginning of the World
to this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
22. "And except those days
should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved:
but for the Elect's sake
those days shall be shortened.
23. "Then if any man shall say unto you,


'LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE;'

believe it not.

24. "For there shall arise False Christs,
and False Prophets,
and shall shew Great Signs and Wonders;
insomuch that,
if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very Elect.
25. "Behold, I have told you before.
26. "Wherefore if they shall say unto you,


'BEHOLD, HE IS IN THE DESERT;'

go not forth:

'BEHOLD, HE IS IN THE SECRET CHAMBERS;'

Believe it not."

THE LORD SAID:

1. People who say that HE is the Christ are DECEIVERS.

2. Do not go to places that say that they have "CHRIST" there.

When you DISOBEY these Teachings, WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?

Are you going to meet GOD, or are you going to meet SATAN?

. AMOS 3:3.

3. "Can two walk together,
except they be agreed?"


SO YOU DO NOT RESPECT THE TEACHINGS OF THE LORD, AND YOU ARE GOING TO A PLACE WHERE THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE TEACHINGS OF THE LORD: WHAT BAD THING COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN?

. MATTHEW 23:1-15.

THEN spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his Disciples,

2. Saying,

"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; but do not ye after their works:
for they say, and do not.
4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men's shoulders;
but they themselves will not move them
with one of their fingers.
5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts,
and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues,
7. "And greetings in the markets,
and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:'
for one is your Master, even Christ;
and all ye are Brethren.
9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth:
for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven.
10. "Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, even Christ.
11. "But he that is greatest among you
shall be your servant.
12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13. "But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye devour widows' houses,
and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation.
15. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye compass Sea and Land
to make one proselyte,
and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the Child of Hell than yourselves."


RIGHT AS SOON AS YOU CHOSE TO FOLLOW A MAN WHO EXALTS HIMSELF ABOVE HIS SUPPOSED BRETHREN, YOU STUCK BOTH FEET IN IT, AND IT BECAME YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO INDULGE IN REGRETS, ONCE YOU REAPED THE FULL FRUITS OF THE DEVIL'S ORCHARD YOUR STROLLED INTO.

You must have been one Hell of a crybaby, growing up.

Momma is due for return on Friday,so I decided to convince her to let us attend Sunday Service there 2 days ago and experience the raw glory of the prophet!

My second boss at work, back in the day, was into ROSICRUCIAN A.M.O.R.C., and had their magazine. They have these bon mots after every article- like in READER'S DIGEST, and he had me calligraph some for him, so he could post them up as decorations. T remember one of them:

OF THE WATER

You've never been to this... guy's Church before; you have no idea of the conditions- what facilities they have- except that his building contractor evidently went to the same Architects' College as that of DEREK ZOOLANDER.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? Invite your MOTHER, too!

Did this really happen?

This is stretching my Suspension of Disbelief Capability- and I'm a SCI-FI Fan!

Ikotun is pretty far from central Lagos metropolis,so I had to arrange for my driver to skip his church and drive us down.
We left home by 3.30am to beat the sea of people that mill in there round the clock.

.. MATTHEW 5:1-16.

AND seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his Disciples came unto him:
2. And he opened his mouth,
and Taught them,
Saying,

3. "Blessed are the Poor in Spirit:
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4. "Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5. "Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the Earth.
6. Blessed are they which do
Hunger and Thirst after Righteousness:
for they shall be filled.

13. "Ye are the Salt of the Earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?
It is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under foot of men.

16. "Let your light so shine
before men,
that they may see
your Good Works,
and glorify your Father
Which is in Heaven."


. MATTHEW 6:19-24.

19. "Lay not up for yourselves
Treasures upon Earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where Thieves
break through and Steal:

24. "No man can serve two masters:
for either
he will hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


. LUKE 6:20-26.

20. And he lifted up his eyes
on his Disciples,
and Said,
"Blessed be ye Poor:
for yours is
The Kingdom of God.

24. "But woe unto you
that are rich!
For ye have received
your Consolation.
25. "Woe unto you that are full!
For ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now!
For ye shall mourn and weep."


Ah. RICH FOOLS.

You idiots invariably think that you can BUY YOUR WAY INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. You usually think that you are Saved, BECAUSE YOU PAID SOME FOOL TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE SAVED.

It doesn't work like that.

To for a rich person to enter into The Kingdom of Heaven, is like trying to pass a ROPE through the eye of a NEEDLE [Aramaic: GAMLA = "CAMEL," and "ROPE." When The Gospel was translated into GREEK, Yahshua's PUN was lost.]
.
So here we are on Sunday morning at the popular Synagogue church.Driver finds a convenient parking space,and we all hop out and amble into the premises unashamedly awe-stricken at the impressive exterior decor of the towering buildings.
It's around 5.30am.

Those who do not live in Nigeria might not be aware that 5:30am is BEFORE DAYBREAK.

Who drags their mother out of bed to get to Church at 5 in the morning?

Who can get up that early to go to Church, and not be a BELIEVER IN THE GOSPEL TEACHINGS of the Lord?

Yet, negative-miraculously, this is what happens.

IF THIS IS WHAT CHURCH WORKERS ENDURE, NO WONDER THEY HAVE TO THINK THEIR WORKS ARE RECOGNIZED BY GOD, AND THEY ARE SAVED!

They are NOT.

ALL their SELF-SACRIFICING HARD WORKS to make CAESAR great are WASTED and WORTHLESS!

That implies that what we are reading is in fact CREATIVE WRITING.
.
A COLD WELCOME:
.
As we stroll past the first barricade to enter the front entrance of the church,a group of Ushers accost us,or rather halted us.They ask us if this was our first time,and when we affirmed it was--a mature looking female usher stepped forward and rudely ordered us to go to the back tent,that only full-time members were allowed to come into the main church.
.
This lady never even offered us a welcoming smile,or warm greetings to somewhat palliate us for all the traffic stress,painfully early wake-up,and hours of road journey we braved to be there.
She just stood there barking commands rudely at us like some aggravated platoon lieutenant calling to order a group of annoying rankless recruits.

I ASSUME THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MUST GO ON. BUT WITHOUT AUDIO AND VIDEO BACKING, THIS TESTIMONY IS WEAK.
.
I visibly winced at the cold welcome the widely acclaimed Synagogue Church accorded us on our visit,and I could feel the volcano broiling deep down inside me itching to vent.
Mannerless people don't irritate me as much as mannerless people who don't consider elderly people when they want to spout their insolence.
[

Creative Writing.
.
Be mannerless to me in public all you want---we can slug it out to the end all we want,and I can give you a healthy piece of my mind.But when my mother or any elder I respect or hold in high esteem is involved,just be prepared cos the bitch in me would be unleashed.

Were you a CHRISTIAN, none of this would MATTER to you.
.
So it was with supreme effort that my mum and the driver dragged me past that saucy group of first Ushers.I was sure I wanted to get my ass back to the car and spirit myself home without further ado.I didn't drive over 30 miles to come and be treated like horse piss,and I wouldn't subject my mother to such crap either.
In all my years in this world,I had never seen such rudeness from church workers that were supposed to smile pleasantly at new-comers and welcome them into church.

. JAMES 2:1-6.

MY Brethren,
have not the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Lord of Glory,
with respect of persons.
2. For if there come unto your assembly
a man with a gold ring,
in goodly apparel,
and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3. And ye have respect to him
that weareth the gay clothing,
and say unto him,


"SIT THOU HERE IN A GOOD PLACE;"

and say to the Poor,

"STAND THOU THERE,
OR SIT HERE UNDER MY FOOTSTOOL:"


4. Are ye not then partial in yourselves,
and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5. Hearken, my beloved Brethren,
Hath not God chosen the Poor of this World
Rich in Faith,
and Heirs of the Kingdom
which he hath promised to them that love him?
6. But ye have despised the Poor.
Do not rich men oppress you,
and draw you before the Judgment Seats?[/color]

ALL OF THE APOSTLES WERE HYPOCRITES, AND CONNIVED TOGETHER TO BURY THE TRUE GOSPEL (which was only published after PETER AND PAUL DIED after 60AD,) AND DEPRIVE THE GENTILE CHRISTIANS OF THE BIBLE.

JAMES argued that THE COVENANT needed to go back to ISRAEL, that this was PREDESTINED- so they didn't have to teach THE GENTILES The Law of Moses.

JAMES OPPOSED YAHSHUA when he needed his support, and only joined the Church later, to SABOTAGE It.

What he says here sounds so beautiful to the "ULTRA-SPIRITUAL:"

"RICH PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT!"

I doubt Lord Yahshua gave the Rich preferential Treatment in HIS Church Meetings: there is at least one instance of the lord disrespecting a Pharisee in his own home. But for CHRISTIANS to behave in such a manner is SUICIDAL and MURDEROUS.

The RICH CHRISTIANS who is so MEEK AND HUMBLE as to TOLERATE BLATANT RUDENESS are a JOY to behold. These are people who KNOW SOMETHING-even if they are HYPOCRITES, merely doing it to be seen of men.

INSULTING ANYONE VISITING YOUR CHURCH, RICH OR POOR, CAN HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

In this day and age, MK-ULTRA can make ANYBODY into a SUICIDE-BOMBER, overnight. NOT EVEN THEY WOULD KNOW.

Even when they received the TRIGGER COMMAND, they would not be aware of what they were doing.

Besides that, RICH PEOPLE KNOW PEOPLE, WHO KNOW PEOPLE, WHO OWE THEM FAVOURS. Piss off the wrong Rich Person, and you can find that some LEGAL DOCUMENT or OFFICIAL STAMP goes missing, and YOUR WHOLE MINISTRY IS FORFEIT- because someone you DISCOUNTED got to a BUREAUCRAT they controlled.

YOU THINK IT CAN'T HAPPEN?

Look at TIMOTHY OMOTOSO, who is now in JAIL in South Africa, for TAKING CARE OF STREET CHILDREN WITHOUT REQUISITE PERMITS.

He was either told that he did not NEED them, or else THEY WENT MISSING from their FILES, or some official DENIED SEEING THEM.

That sort of thing can LITERALLY KILL YOU.

A FALSE ACCUSATION can bring ARMED ATTACK by the Government against your Church- as happened at WACO, TEXAS, in 1993, when the FBI/BATF attacked a Church, because their INFORMANT told them that they had a METHAMPHETAMINE LAB in their basement.

They didn't- but the Pastor, who accidentally hit on something that could have sparked interest in ZETETIC ASTRONOMY, that could have DESTROYED NASA, and about 70 of his followers, were ALL KILLED.

On a FALSE ACCUSATION.
.
So past the gate I reluctantly allowed myself to be led,wondering which of the 'back-tents' we were expected to walk into--cos there were several tent-like structures splattered around the premises,and not a SINGLE usher or warden to direct us.The ones with tags we saw who looked important simply waved us aside or outrightly hurried past us when we asked for directions.
.
They all looked grim,furious and hostile.
.
Finally after wondering around in disjointed circles like 3 tropical millipedes with Jet-lag,we 3 were told by another new-comer that we had to obtain a permit/pass which would only give us access to the over-flow.

I read in a Comic Book story about people trying to infiltrate an installation, that LOOKING SLIGHTLY ANNOYED STOPS PEOPLE FROM INTERFERING WITH YOU. Evidently, this is a KNOWN STRATEGY.

Staff Workers are there to WORK, and have APPOINTED TASKS to be completed by a specific time. If they look too friendly, people might accost them over trivial matters.

After knowing SCIENTOLOGY for 23 years, I began reading L. RON HUBBARD'S THOUGHTS on ORGANIZATION only several days ago. I mean, I took time at work to listen to one of his audio messages on ORGANIZATION. I had never studied that aspect of SCIENTOLOGY before, because I never had a use for it.

His lectures on ORGANIZATION fill a SHELF.

The volumes are ENCYCLOPEDIA-SIZED, but maybe that is just the PRINTING. (They DO have books like that.)

WHAT HE SAID IN THAT HOUR-LECTURE APPLIES HERE.

Yet, the SCOAN SHILL here dismisses SCIENTOLOGY as a "CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION." Whereas here is PROOF that L. Ron Hubbard has wherewithal to HELP TUBERCULOSIS JOSHUA.
.
BITCHES AND BAD BLOOD IN THE TABERNACLE:
.
As we herded into the crowded tent to queue up behind nothing less than 750 random new-comers,I noticed a female Usher yelling at a girl.
.
Everyone turned in their general direction.
Aunty Usher/women leader was rudely telling the girl that her skirt was too short and she shouldn't linger around the queue or else she'd summon the police to drag her out of the premises.
.
I turned to look at the lady being harrassed.Her skirt was a little above her knees,but not overly vulgar or indecent per se.
I also noticed that she had one of the best pair of legs and figures I have seen in this part of the world.
Deaconess mean-faced usher was obviously envious that God wasn't impartial when he was sharing out body parts and beauty.
.
But a new-comer?? Embarrassing her like that?Good grief!![/b]
.
ANY VAGUE DOUBTS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE A CHRISTIAN ARE CONFIRMED HERE.

Any Christian of any maturity at all knows full well the importance of CHASTE DRESSING. How the literal WHORES have infiltrated the Churches and SUBVERTED them.

This is NOT COINCIDENTAL; it is NOT "FASHION."

It is a STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN, where GIRLS ARE TRAINED to DRESS IMMORALLY- one centimeter at a time, so to speak- to encourage PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN GIRLS to become TOTALLY AMORAL.

[See: ALBERTO, by Jack T. Chick.]

This HATCHET-JOB is NOT the work of a CHRISTIAN, and is NOT written to CHRISTIANS, but to UNBELIEVERS.

It tells us more about the author, than about SCOAN.

THESE EVENTS MAY NEVER HAVE HAPPENED- [i]BUT THIS TESTIMONY CERTAINLY HAPPENED!
