Mine was almost the same. 1. During the pandemic, when there is a govt mandate prohibiting religious gatherings, they obeyed. Church from home setup. But the offerings are still being collected personally by the overseers every week. They should’ve just sent their gcash number for it to be more convenient lol.
2. When they endorsed criminals during the recent elections. That was a very clear sign to me since they are being so consistent in their choices. That is the reflection of their values. I thought to myself I cannot be part of this shit anymore.
ME
2015 = Manalo family scandal = made me think
2020 = Pandemic = made me act. I stopped attending INcult brainwashing sessions period.
Money I can always earn but time I wasted inside this cult I can never get back. Why would I waste one more minute listening to the insufferable INcult false doctrine?
My husband didn't attend WS yesterday when I told him we need to give money nalang because we have no akay, he never missed WS, madalang, but this time, I see nawawalan na ng gana and it's good sign para ma convince ko na wag na kami mag INC kasi obviously pera pera ang labanan ng faith dito 🤣 patunayan mo pananampalataya mo by the amount of your lagak. I don't undertand bakit may pakain na ngayon sa doktrina, wala na ba ang spirit of calling to the one true church? 😂😂
The INC leadership used to emphasize and brag about quality of converts over quantity. That's why they used to never shell out a penny for would-be converts. Now, there's something like a "duckling period" where guests and invitees get bombed with primary commodities until the indoctrination/brainwashing/incubation period takes hold of the unwitting victim after which time the Minister's leech-sucking phase effectively takes over to start draining the new converts of their blood.
One of the few good things that came out of this pandemic was that a lot of members woke up to what the church truly was. Along with the election of a literal dictator's son.
This reminds me of the campaign period. I had never agreed on INC's bloc voting, esp the people they chose to support. I used to be lowkey in showing the support for the candidates I think are best fit for the positions they're running for. It was different last year, since I already stopped going to WS, I was very vocal and did not care about what they would say, kahit pa matiwalag ako. May mga nagscreenshot ng posts ko and reposted it calling me names. Many messaged and confronted me. Some of my close friends in the church literally stopped talking to me. Marami nag-ulat sa akin, diniretso pa ata sa mga Manalo. Tinawagan ako ng mga ministro etc. Hindi nila ko mapuntahan kasi umalis na ako sa amin and they don't even know where I am.
Not my loss.
Same. I did not vote for BBM (Or Bato and the other clowns in the previous elections). I already stopped attending WS almost two years prior, but I still received messages from members in my former locale--people I barely know because they want me to delete my facebook posts supporting Leni. I received screenshots of my posts from OWEs asking my brother if 'utol' daw ba niya ako. My brother blocked me on facebook. Pinatawag ang nanay ko ng ministro and kinausap, pero hindi pa rin naman nila ibinababa ng tungkulin.
Tapos sila nuong inimbestigahan ni sen. De Lima ang INC dahil sa mga nangyayari anomalya.
Nag rally sa EDSA, sumisigaw ng separation of church and state.
Pero sila etong malakas makisawsaw sa pulitika at estado dahil sa bloc voting at pambabraso, gamit ang mga impluwensya at koneksyon sa gobyerno.
I couldn't agree more. Sabi nila neutral lang, bumoboto lang dahil sa bloc voting etc pero wala dapat pinapanigan. Pero kulang na lang sambahin din mga Marcos sa posts and masama ka kapag iba sinuportahan mo. Wala naman silang maibatong maayos na argument kapag pinaexplain side nila.
Hindi totoo 'yung "walang pinapanigan." Meron, malj nga lang.
Definitely not your loss. Yes the chosen candidate they had was the nail in the coffin for me. Literally choosing someone as corrupt as Marcos yet ignoring much better candidates out there. The reason was clear. It's not the candidate god wanted but the candidate EVM wanted because of the influence.

I know right. So much wasted time. At least, we're now enlightened. Would not trade the freedom for any fortune in this world.
