TITHES & OFFERINGS (0 * 10% = ?)


Whether we want acknowledge it or not, religions are controlling structures designed to dominate free will. They’re power structures that aim to convince you to give away your power for the benefit of those who enjoy dominating people. When you subscribe to a religion, you enroll in a mindless minion training program that doesn’t market themselves as such, but this is essentially how they operate…Religions are very effective at turning human beings into sheep and the flock is lead by a man who seeks to LIVEHE gradually convinces his followers to put their trust into some external entity, such as a deity, prominent figure, or a great book. Simply by convincing you to give your power away to something outside yourself, HE will condition you to be weaker, more docile, and easier to control. Such a serious waste of time AND not to mention money…I say all this because the other day I paid my mom a visit and I left feeling confused over her actions when it comes to her church going. You see my mother hasn’t worked for almost 10 years, there is NOTHING wrong with her, she just doesn’t seem interested…However, she and my aunt find money to give to their pastor on a daily bases. They would go without food or basic necessities as long as pastor and his church are fine…And since I’ve been without a job for the last 5 months the phone AND cable got turned off because they can’t seem to NOT donate whatever funds they get their hands on to the expansion of facilitating the enslavement of their fellow humans. When I feel the urge to donate money, I give it to a real and honorable cause, not a fabricated one. Instead both her and my aunt make sure they give their 10% + despite the fact that neither one of them has worked for @ least 10 years. I find it interesting that they don’t see that they are pretty much funding a freeloader who mooches off them while providing little OR no value in return. I guess he deserves their money because after spouting out gibberish like anointing them, proclaiming their womanhood, casting out demons, pronouncing their transgressions forgiven and so on…He doesn’t have to think that hard to sway them because these are the same people that felt that I had a GAYHow can people so blindly fund evil by throwing money they don’t have into a collection plate every Sunday? F&CK! Methinks God should raise his standards… just a tad if he is indeed getting his funds through churches…My mother and aunt’s pastor has a HUGE ass house with guards that chauffer him, women that cook his meals AND so many other fortunate souls who take care of his house and other needs…He is sitting on top of the world and I would worship him and give him my money because only could send such a man to save us from our sins and rob us blind…right?           I know I do NOT consider this sort of organization a good cause worthy of your hard-earned cash because it fills your head with so much nonsense that your only recourse is to bow your head in submission and empty your pockets. I guess they are getting used to spending a lot of time on their knees because submission is how we get treats in life…Now let the church say, YES MASTER!…I mean pastor…same difference right? while he is alive…You see demon of my very own…I FIND IT SO AMAZING HOW CHURCHES MISLEAD THEIR FLOCK INTENTIONALLY. HOW CAN ANYONE NOT SEE HOW DANGEROUS THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE WHEN THEY ARE TAKING FROM PERSONS THAT DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO GIVE? WHEN THEIR LOGICAL MINDS ARE OVERWHELMED BY CONTRADICTORY BELIEFS BECAUSE THEIR MIND DISENGAGES AS THEY CAN’T FIND A PATTERN OF CORE TRUTH AMONG THE NONSENSE, IS ANY WONDER THEY DEVOLVE INTO A MORE PRIMITIVE MODE OF THINKING? I MEAN THEY ARE TAUGHT THAT THIS FAITH-BASED APPROACH IS A MORE SPIRITUAL & CONSCIOUS WAY TO LIVE…TALK ABOUT IRONY…BECAUSE WHEN A MAN GETS YOU TO DISTRUST YOUR MIND SO HE CAN MANIPULATE & CONTROL YOU, HOW CAN HE NOT BE RIGHT? I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT KARL MARX WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID, “RELIGION IS THE OPIATE OF THE PEOPLE,” BECAUSE I HAVE MY MOM & AUNT AS LIVING PROOF…

  1. Okay, this is exactly why I no longer attend the church that I did for a year. Right before you get to the front door of the church there are two parking spaces reserved for the Pastor and his wife. In those spaces were two new luxury cars (paid for by the church members). I stopped one day just before going in, turned around and looked at the other cars in the parking lot. It looked like a used car (you work you ride) car lot. Why on earth would the leader of a church insist on riding in only the best while some of his members are financially suffering. They constantly preach financial freedom if you give, give, give, but they are the only ones finding that financial freedom from your hard earned money. My relationship with God is a private one between me and Him. I have not been led to give my funds to some so-called pastor, but to use them to help others that really need it. Funny how people pick and chose what they need from the Bible to benefit their position/cause...tithing the first 10 % WOULD be one of those things that they chose. I have yet to meet anyone who lived by each and every word/direction that comes from the Bible (written by man by the way). Show me a pastor that will lead a church for free and I will show you a man who can roller skate on water....not.

  3. Not all churches are evil. Unfortunately for the good ones, some bad churches give faith and honest religion, a bad name.

    Certainly some of the things you mentioned here, Kishna, are rampant and wide spread, but its still a generalization. You're always correcting me on over generalizations and stereotypes, so allow me to do the same, my good friend.

    My current church is not at what you described. Sure it collects tithes, but that is for the run and upkeep of the building and to pay the bills of the facility. No one holds a gun to anyone's head to contribute or donate. It is from the heart.

    Too, many, like my church, offer free services for the community such as a daycare program, rides to the doctor/hospital, health care services, visits for the sick and shut in, tuition for college, and a food bank with no charge or not force to participate in church indoctrination.

    My Pastor drives a normal car and lives in a modest home. He had a side job for a number of years and his wife worked as well. They are not spooning off the congregation.

    So, what you are saying is not applicable to all churches.

    Now, I'm not discounting what you discussed. I remember in the 70s the whole Rev. Ike business and how he milked his flock. It's a despicable thing to take advantage of the weak minded, frail, and elderly. But many churches DO administer to the greater good, nourishing the spirit as well as the mind. Never forget, just because ONE or SOME do something, means ALL do it.

    This said, are you happy my good, loving brother? I finally left a lengthy comment on your blog. LOL. Love ya kid!

  4. This is just one of a thousand reasons why I don't do the church bullshit. What tha fuck am I doing by going to go a church bowed down to worship a weak ass jesus who got fucked by the romans, give money so that some bullshit pastor can feed his dick, when I can say my ass at home and have others feed my shit.
    Everyone is entitled to your own choices, but for me, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT A CHURCH. If you need some power to worship, I got a big Black dick you can bow down too and worship any sunday you want.

ORGANISED RELIGION FOR THE MOST PART IS SERIOUSLY MESSED UP........BRAVO..... SUCH A GREAT ENTRY

  6. MIKE – THE PARKING FOR THE PASTOR AND HIS WIFE ALWAYS GET ME…SO OBVIOUS THAT THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PERSONS THAT THEY TAKE THEIR MONEY FROM…

    URBAN SHOTZ – HE IS SO RIGHT…

    IAN – I AM SORRY THAT YOU FEEL THAT I AM GENERALIZING WHEN I AM STATING A FACT…THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE IN YOUR CHURCH, I AM SURE THAT YOURS MAYBE THE EXECPTION IT IS JUST ONE CHURCH…IF YOU WANT TO THINK THAT I AM MERELY GENERALIZING THAT’S FINE THAT’S WITH ME, BUT DON’T COME WITH THE MY CHURCH ISN’T LIKE THAT SO THAT MEANS I WRONG FOR SAYING THAT OTHERS ARE…

  8. Kishna. Let me ask you this one question and then I will accept your answer the absolute truth. It's a multi-layer question: How many spiritual places are in the world and how did you manage to attend each and every church to gather this complete analysis. Because if you have NOT attended every church in the world AND I DO MEAN each church. Then you can't make this statement. It's a generalization.

    Again, many churches do take advantage, but not every single church does. There maybe 10 million places of worship in this world and perhaps only 1 million do a greater good, is that everyone?

  9. IAN - LET'S NOT PLAY THIS CARD OKAY...I FIND IT VERY INSULTING THAT YOU WOULD ASK ME IF I HAVE BEEN TO EVERY CHURCH TO GATHER THIS ANALYSIS...WHEN YOU MAKE GENERAL STATEMENT ABOUT GAY MEN DO I ASK YOU IF YOU'VE MET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM TO SAY GAY MEN AREN'T WORTH IT & YOU ARE BETTER ALONE? NO I DON'T...SO LET'S REMEMBER WHAT YOUR REALITY IS, THAT MINE IS A LOT DIFFERENT...I AM SORRY BUT ONE OR TWO CHURCHES DOESN'T SAVE RELIGION...I WISHED THE CHURCHES LIVED UP TO WHAT THEY WERE MEANT TO BE...ESPECIALLY IN SUCH DIFFICULT TIMES AS THESE...

  10. Alright fellas, calm down, now, lol! You are both right, of course. It does seem that "churchianity" has taken the place of "Christianity". Unscrupulous men, always clever and cunning, have discovered how vulnerable and susceptible people can be when they are searching for answers or what they perceive as truth. Men have drifted away from the simplicity taught by Jesus, the Christ. In His stead they have erected a man-made structure-a devious edifice of politics and power full of manipulation and scheming.

    But life is nothing if not a duality. This is the dark side of Religion, made by man. The light side is today people are more intelligent and ever so slightly, even if imperceptibly, there is change afoot. People are demanding more intellectually, spiritually. Hence churches are coming about with more emphasis on unity and service to the community.

    Religion has a place amongst men. The quality of that Religion will depend upon the quality of men. Just to make a point take Jedi Master Yoda and the Emperor. Both had extensive knowledge and understanding of the Force but each chose to wield that Force in different ways. The Force itself is a form of energy, indifferent, neutral. It needs something to express it. So too with Religion. It is not evil in and of itself. Man is the author of wickedness, not Nature.

    Religion is a tool, a conduit by which man connects with something he inherently feels he has lost contact with. The pomp and circumstance of church ceremony has definite and real purpose. The invocation, the evocation, the hymns, the tithing. We have lost contact with the power of those ceremonies and just repeat them by rote. The mysteries, greater and lesser, must be restored to the church, so that man can truly open his mind and heart and find his way back home. We need both keys, heart and mind.

    We all have questions and we are all looking for something. There are MANY paths. As Jesus said, "In my father's house are MANY rooms."

    Whether it is Atheism, the almighty dollar, a loved one, Nature, Art, Literature, Sex, Gardening, we all have religions. It's what we choose to do with it that makes it beauty or ugly. Gibran says "your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it, take with you your all."

  13. Well said Thomas. And like Kishna said, we're fine. Like brothers, we don't always see eye to eye, but at the end of the day all has been restored. And thegayte-keeper is indeed my "brother." as are you. Thanks for the concern T.

  14. my friend is in "bad standing" with his church because he couldnt pay his tides to the church simply because he is out of work now a days. he gives what he can but he is down to the bare minimum when it comes to money and the church is nowhere to be found when it comes to helping him out but when its time to collect dues, they suddenly appear and wont leave him alone....its a shame
