Kenyan pastor tells women to attend church without underwear...

[edgitarra]

This is getting worse and worse!

Nairobi pastor Reverend Njohi has introduced a form of worship at his Lord’s Propeller Redemption Church in which female members of the congregation are banned from wearing underwear so God can enter their bodies easily.

After a recent meeting of the church’s elders, to debate the matter Reverend Njohi passed an edict banning the wearing bras and panties when attending service.

Defending the law, Reverend Njohi claims that when going to church, people need to be free in body and spirit to receive Christ.

Describing the wearing of underwear to church by women as ungodly, Reverend Njohi warned his members of dire consequences if they secretly did so.

According to one of the church’s members, last Sunday, all the female members of the congregation came to the service without any panties or bra as the pastor ordered.

Mothers were advised to check their daughters when coming to church on Sundays so as to ensure their obey the edict and can receive Christ too.

Reverend Njohi’s church is located in Dandora Phase Two, an eastern suburb of Nairobi, which was listed by the Blacksmith Institute as one of the most polluted sites in the world.

Following the passing of the edict local Dandora residents frog marched one of the senior pastors to the church where they ordered him to open its doors.

They stole money and the pastor’s mobile phone and the walls and windows of the church were badly vandalized.

Dandora was established in 1977, with partial financing by the World Bank in order to provide decent housing to Kenyans but the estate has turned into a high-density slum with massive unemployment.

Nairobi’s main sewage treatment works and discharges processed water into Nairobi River in the area.

Recently, however, several Kenyan hip hop groups have emerged from Dandora and the artists are determined to use music as a positive community force.

Recently a visit by American group Dead Prez has increased attention to the impoverished and woeful living conditions in Dandora.

Oh Jesus!

I suppose there is no edict on men not wearing undies to church, then?

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised by the absurdity of it all by now. But it's hard not to wonder about just how absurd things will continue to get.

[…]female members of the congregation are banned from wearing underwear so God can enter their bodies easily.

Incredibly creepy, & perverted. I don't think I have to point out why.

Describing the wearing of underwear to church by women as ungodly, Reverend Njohi warned his members of dire consequences if they secretly did so.

What, exactly, is ungodly anyway? That threat is straight out of the pathological medieval playbook. It's only lacking something like "do so & your crops will fail" or "your children will bring disasters upon us all" along with the eternal damnation ruse. That stuff still works.

Mothers were advised to check their daughters when coming to church on Sundays so as to ensure their obey the edict and can receive Christ too.

And what are the odds that some guy in the church will claim that Christ is "within" him & wish to "share" the "Lord/saviour?" Having experienced African churches this madness isn't too surprising. I found people to be quite blatantly going against their scriptures (as usual) & men openly womanizing, (I've seen some Benny Hill type chases occur from married men) & generally making derogatory comments. There's also the regular "disciplining" of their children, & having a feast (of course prepared by the woman) while everyone else bows(literally) to the older men, kissing their hands & other fawning behaviors.

Oh Jesus!

Just what I thought.

My view is that we're stuck in the "dark ages" & there was a respite of sorts (i.e. the "enlightenment") & then promptly resumed its natural trajectory.

Pastoring seems to be the way of choice of fleecing people (as well as the womanizing) in Kenya:

The Richest Kenyan Pastors

They receive hefty remuneration for preaching the gospel to church goers. Some of Kenya's pastors are ranked amongst the most powerful and wealthiest public figures in the country. Many of them wear designer suits, drive luxurious vehicles, and go on family vacations to the most expensive destinations. Pastors have been able to get rich beyond wildest expectations mainly because demand for spiritual nourishment has skyrocketed in the recent past. People are more than willing to pay tithe, give offerings, gifts, and even plant the controversial 'seeds' in excess. This trend also explains the rise of numerous churches; some having genuine intentions but others which have been found to be scams.

LIST of TOP FAKE PASTORS in Kenya- extortionists – Pastor NG’ANG’A of NENO leads the LIST
The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday August 22, 2013 - After NTV’s expose on Sunday revealing that majority of men of the cloth are fleecing unsuspecting Kenyans with fake miracles in exchange for money, we at the Kenyan DAILY POST undertook a thorough investigation to unearth the truth.

We have a full list of top ten fake pastors who have been misleading their sheep for their personal gain as prophet Isaiah narrated in Isaiah 56: 10- 12.

“10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.

11 Yes, the dogs are forever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.

12 come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure”

No, you see in a patriarchal society, Man is God, so he can keep his undies on. Seeing as we don't have an icon for a steaming pile of horse$h*t, I'll just use this one

 

[Can Won]

there was a documentary about something quite similar last night on BBC3...
certainly worth watching for an insight into the goings on.
and it finished up with the congregation taking their underwear in to be blessed by the "profit"!

"Twenty years since the first free elections and in the shadow of Nelson Mandela's death, Reggie Yates gets up close and personal with three very different communities in contemporary South Africa. By living amongst them for a week, what will he discover about the extremes of this misunderstood country in the 21st Century?

South Africa is a country devoted to God, and Pentecostal 'Megachurches' are booming. But as well as conventional priests and bishops, thousands of young people follow self-styled prophets. Reggie spends a week with one of the most controversial and colourful of them all, Prophet Mboro. In a world of witchcraft, exorcisms and heavily armed guards, Mboro is adored by the thousands of followers in his megachurch and renowned as much for his dancing as the 'miracles' he performs. Reggie has already rejected African Pentecostal faith once in his life, and now he tries to discover whether a multi-millionaire King of Bling with 30 flash cars can really be a messenger from God. But the deeper Reggie digs, the more conflicted he becomes- until he starts to confront some truths much closer to home."

Not to go off-topic, as I, too, see this whole thing as this-just-goes-to-show-how-farcical-religion-really-is and how most religions are a male-dominated scheme, I would like to vote for an icon of a pile of horse (or more poignantly, bull) shite. They do say that a picture is worth a thousand words!

How far will people go for god? What will it take for people to see how absurd it is to be a part of these churches. I can not understand how these women can not see through this. I guess it shows how powerful fear is to most people. I am sooo glad I was never able to find the love of a savior in my heart as a child no matter how hard I tried. It was very easy for me to see that none of it made any sense at all. I am always just completely shocked that anyone can still believe in this stuff. Hold on let me drop my kids off to a pervert and then make sure my daughters are not wearing undergarments before I go and receive the lord.

I think a cow poo icon is just not enough to describe how absurd and awful these kind of things are. It's gotta make you wonder if anyone has a brain between their ears anymore.

That's just perfect, lol!!!




I'd love to see it added to our emoticons, although I know it might offend some people's sensibilities. This crazy world deserves the odd expletive or two, IMHO :D

Affirms the male Semitic 'Phallic' god they are worshiping in those Churches
