SUNDAY AT TREM: A friend invited us to a program in his Church tagged “friends of the house” I had to go because I don’t want folks saying, I do not obey or respect my husband. Lol! Ideally, they know I don’t do Church, but why they insisted still beats me. Hubby asked this morning that I should come so I agreed. I don’t like fanfare and all that, at the Church the friend insisted we should sit in front, but I opted for the back seat. Beautiful fanciful headquarters at Anthony, I would make it brief even though the story plenty. I saw the ‘religious-we-are -holier-than-thou ‘Christians hypocritical attitude’ for these reasons I would never, ever in my life relate to any religion, especially Christianity and Islam. Testimony time: Four out of the seven testimonies, were about Muslims that proselyte from Islam to Christianity and suddenly, bingo! their lives were transformed. One of the men said because he became a ‘Tremite’ his life became so wonderful, he got contracts and his daughter is going to study in the USA now, and he has been a member of the Church since (1992), I have heard this so many times in those days. Maybe he is right, but the embellishments and all come with the Churchy territories, the more and grand the testimonies, the better image for the Church and big daddy and mummy. This bashing of Islam, putting another religion down to make Christianity feel and sound good is absolute bunkum. Hogwash! If you follow any religion, or go the Mosque or Church, because you need to make money then I think Islam should be the one without any doubt. Entirely my stand o! Lol! I thought, Christ came for the salvation of the soul, but he has been so commercialized for lucre and so many other things. You make money because you are working not because you belong to any cult or any religious platform. Christianity and Islam are two sides of the same coin; Islam came off the back of Christianity. After the all the testimonies, if you desire yours, you must drop something to tap into the blessings of others. Na wa o! Plenty of them went dropped and dance. So those of us that did not, won’t have our testimonies? Just asking. ‘Offering time a happy time’ they chanted! They were advised, that if they don’t have cash on them, they can make a pledge and that there’s a (POS) terminal outside the Church, where they can get cash for their offerings. The man really encouraged offering because God loves a cheerful giver. Coming to Church and not dropping an offering, is not only wrong in the sight of God, but also a sin. Hmmm! I offered nothing, but hubby did. Good for him. There is a program coming up, if you own a car, you have to brand your car, a sort of advert for the Church, (7,000). Application form to showcase your company (1000), Hmm! Children’s fasting, young kids that do not understand anything about Spirituality are subjected to that torture, unbelievable! An elderly woman was on my case, because I refused to dance, genuflecting and screaming. Hear her “My daughter, whatever are your problems, God has solved them all for you, God of ‘Trem’ doesn’t disappoint anyone ask around.” Mma, I have no issues. “Why are you not dancing to your father in heaven then? She pointed up to the sky? I am okay Ma’am. I managed to sit through all the rigmarole, which felt like torture and went on forever, as if it was not enough, we were asked to come out to be appreciated for coming. I followed hubby against all odds. They were now giving out forms...... in it---. 1. Are you born again? 2. Have you made Jesus your personal Lord and savior, all the same rituals and questions? I refused to fill the form, hubby got angry, that it’s only a form, I asked him to fill his and include my name, story and issues sorted. In the car one hell of an argument, why I refused to fill a form and all, now, finally I would not follow him again. End of discussion. Maybe, I should have filled the form and tell them lies, as I am not interested in anyone calling me. I don’t know how to pretend, why I should be forced to do what my spirit does not accept, is what I am still thinking. Our hosts came asking how it was. I said okay. Only okay? I don’t know what they expected, for me to say oh! Beautiful Church! Yes beautiful building, but I am my Church, Jesus, savior and all, there’s none but me. You see how they are fishing for new members? Now Jesus makes more sense, when he said they should be fishers of men That was Sunday at TREM. Needless to say never again!
