That's jiani.
Such a cute and cool gal who plank.
I am a guy.
These sorts of people who ask for money, are the worst type of charlatans and conmen.
I prefer they sell vacuum cleaner or time-share packages rather than cheating people in this manner.
Really despicable.

Doctors bring bodily, mental and emotional healing to people through their expert knowledge, which requires the patients' trust. Teachers shape and nurture the minds and personalities of our young ones, especially when they are so impressionable. Parents, above all, have the highest calling to support, protect and love their children as much as humanely possible.
So when any of these people inflict sexual harm on the vulnerable chidren in their care, how is this more excusable than what the guilty priests did?
Again, it is important to emphasise that there is no excuse whatsoever for what the guilty priests did, but unfortunately, this issue has sometimes been blown out of proportion, especially by those who have their own personal agenda against the Catholic Church.
Just to remind that the vast majority of priests - like the vast majority of teachers and parents, work for the well-being of others and have never engaged in abuse of any kind. It is unacceptable to single out and stereotype Catholic clergy as a depraved or perverted group. Although a small number of priests have indeed been guilty of the sexual abuse, the vast majority of them are innocent of these crimes.
Certainly, the Catholic clergy has made mistakes in handling the cases. Nevertheless, media reports frequently painted the bishops' (the priests' bosses) actions and motives in the worst possible light. Eg, it was reported that some priests were transferred around to deliberately cover up the abuse. In fact, in many such cases, psychological 'experts' had assured the bishops that the priests in question had been treated successfully and presented no further danger. Also, it is inherent in Christianity to try to forgive and give someone a second chance as we all imperfect and fail sometimes, whether Christian or not.
Again, everything mentioned here is not meant to excuse what the guilty priests did, but to give a sense of perspective. The Catholic Church has already embarked on a process of healing and change to minimise such issues in the future.
If the Church apply God's law to priests, what if the victim is not a christian?
If I am abused, I immediately convert to Islam. Then we punish the priest according to Islamic law?
What ever happened to the term "as poor as a church mouse"? I suspect they mutated into rats... Fat ones at that. I have no qualms against CHC's wealth... except for one... The head priest has a super star as wife... Or is she still a star?
And hows the case going where the church bought some property as investments when its registered as a non profitable organisation? I'm skeptical of media bias....
no update on CHC scam ah ?
I feel that it is up to individual to give money and not setting rules to the people to give money to them.

this tithes of 10% of monthly pay is just so wrong. u shouldnt dictate how much a person, even if they are your members or from the church. giving is from the heart. keep saying giving in the name of god is just so wrong also, cos you are using god to ask for money from people. they should have change tact, say give , but give from your heart. dun give if you cant afford it and give any amount as you wish, not the 10% though. I am wondering if the tithes is enriching the pastor? a pastor should live a decent lifestyle, not opulent lifestyle as driving a merc, living in a landed property with a small garden. if u have to travel, travel in economy or budget airlines cos those money are from the members.

I recently was pissed off by one who has waken up then got into it again and try getting me to church. What is it with these christians? They don't want to respect others freedom and choice. She knows pretty well it was the christians and the teaching of this religion that pissed me off and still insist I go church.

How ?
come to think of it, why do we care if people want to give their hard-earned money to the church? its not my money.
if they feel good they should do it more often.

Stone them.
NIV Acts 14:19-22 :
19 Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe. 21 They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
KJV Acts 14:19-22 :
19And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
So that we can help them to "continue in the faith" by "going through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God".

didn't know you use the Bible, but obviously you didn't read and never learnt.
people like you are giving hardships to people seeking to enter the kingdom of God, and don't be surprised you actually strengthen the faith of some believers.
Have you ever stoned a person or you just talk talk only?
