Hindi naman nila alam lahat kung ano nangyayari. Kaya nga nung minsan nanunuod ako news at tinanong kung ano pinaglalaban nila, ang sagot was, pinapunta lang daw sila doon ng ministro nila. What a shame! Such narrowminded people, how come they don't know how to decide for themselves.
Regarding the usual answer that we got from their members na, "hindi niyo kami maiintindihan", it was a script that they were instructed to say kase hindi naman talaga alam nila lahat kung ano ba talaga meron. I have a Catholic friend who has an INC stepmom, kaya niya alam. His siblings doesn't even like to be one of those people kaso they have no choice since it was their mom's order. Actually, tumatakas pa yung mga siblings niya para mag attend ng Catholic mass kase they don't feel freewill with the kind of faith and preachings that out of the blue group. He said that the only one who has access to the bible is the minister. That, im not sure. And i dont have any interest of finding out and joing their prayer meetings (i attend Christian bible studies even if i am not a born again Christian). What's absurd is how they contradict each verses in the bible. Imagine, they waste time looking for errors in the bible? Why don't they create their own like Quran na believable Naman. Tapos they will say na nakikisawsaw ang ibang religions not only Catholic per se, but look who's making sawsaw in the holy bible?
I also have a friend that i got pissed off years ago because she kept on telling that they will be the only one who will be saved. It's just like euthanasia. Who are we to end one's life. In the lgbt community, who are we to judge. So same thing with them. Who are they to tell that they are the only ones who will be saved they dont even know the word of God because everything's kept from them. How will they be able to know the truth if they can't even read the bible? Yung mga contradictions, how can they question it?
I also have another Ccatholic friend who accompanied his friends to their so called Samba. So pinakilala siya sa ibang members and told him that he made the right choice. So tatagalugin ko kahit nakokornihan ako sa pandinig. Tama ka ng desisyon. Nandito ang katotohanan. When he was telling me taht, natatawa talaga ako. Ang creepy ng dating nakakatakot.
Sadly, people nowadays think of ways on how can they be saved. Yes, even Catholics give tithes. It is a reponsibility not an obligation. It is a way of giving back. It is NEVER a basis that you will be saved.
I"m still thankful that even some of my INC friends are still in that group, they are still rational, open minded, and decide for their own unlike the other pathetic and hypocrite members.
Funny how they were able to say about the papal visit, feast of black nazarene and so on. Hello??? Common sense please. Hindi nabibili ang common sense. Talagang kinumpara ha? Those events just so they know were planned. It always take months of preparation and planning for traffic alternate routes. Everything's well coordinated. And just so they know, to my surprise, i have a lot of INC members friends who even went to the papal visit. Nakaka touch kasi when i listened to their experience, na iba yung na feel nila and so on, nakakatuwa lang. Wala talagang makakapag dikta ng faith ng isang tao. And even yung mga santo at rebulto na akala nila e sinasamba natin? It all boils down sa faith ng isang tao. They are just mere representations and hindi sila sinasamba. Yung mga taong halos magpakamatay makalapit sa Nazarene? It could be because of their overwhelming faith but it doesn't mean na sinasamba yung rebulto na yun. Pero dahil ang turo nga sa kanila eh sinasamba ng mga Catholics yung mga rebulto, then so be it.
There are still a lot of "horror" stories to share. Space might not be enough.
