A woman in her 40s has decided to quit her marriage that spanned over a decade. According to her, she doesn't love her husband and has never loved him. She got married to him because everybody else was getting married. Since they are both workers in the church, the pastors have been trying to settle the matter.
My question is: what are they trying to settle? The woman said she doesn't love the man. If she never loved him in all these years, na now she go start to dey love am?
Two years ago another member tried to commit suicide after his wife left him. The woman had attempted to leave many times. These same pastors also tried to settle their matter.
There is a married couple going through domestic violence. The woman attacks the man every time they are having an argument. The same pastors are still settling their matter.
A man travelled to Nigeria, squandered the money his wife gave him for business, gave the clothes she had bought for her family to his family, cheated on her and saved the pictures he took with the other woman on his computer. The same pastors settled the matter.
A young girl got married after getting pregnant and became the favourite target of her sister in law. The same pastor came to settle the matter. Ah! He implied that he would never allow his daughter to get married to that kind of man or into that kind of family.
A young member, frustrated by her incapability to have the kind of life she wants, made the infamous comment: "It seems the pastors' family (children and in-laws) are the only ones progressing in this church."
😂😂 Except that it's not true.
There are (ex)members who are doing (very) fine in life and they are the ones who have never given the pastors more relevance than they deserve.
Instead, those who live as if their tongues have been glued to the pastors' asses have been witnessing stagnation in almost ever aspect their lives. Even when they progress, their progress is mediocre at best.
This is not peculiar to these pastors alone. It is peculiar to every pastor.
I hardly hear pastors give sensible advice to people. The masses are fooled by their ability to quote the Bible by heart. They look charming and knowledgeable at the pulpit. The altar that is physically elevated from the church floor has become synonymous with their spiritual and intellectual elevation.
Such a pity that almost everything about these churches is staged. It's all an act. A charade. A parade of wealth and wisdom that are actually non-existent. You make your pastors rich. You think your pastors know.
Your pastors don't know shit.
That pastor of yours is not so different from the average man and woman wandering the streets of Nigeria, looking for ideas to succeed and escape the poverty that has been afflicting his or her family for generations.
Your pastor needs money and the only way to get more money from an impoverished population, is to increase the number of members. The advice your pastor gives you is never for your own good but for the good of their business.
Divorced couples don't go to the same church, so they always advise married couples to remain married and multiply inside the church.
They also courage single members to get married to another member of the church and multiply inside the church.
Churches are like plantations and the congregation is the unpaid workforce. These pastors don't beat you, torture you or kill you. They simply threaten you with poverty and hell fire if you don't follow their instructions.
Pastors are the Massas of the new century.
Religion is modern day slavery.
Be smart.
