Why I Stopped Attending Church. by Storypot: 10:37am On Jun 27, 2023 |
I rode with my pastor & his family in his car one Sunday like that.. Omo naso one marywa guy drive nonsense almost denting his sweet 07 muscle Camry sport white that trodded gleefully along the asphalt... Thankfully there was no dent as Pastor saw the tricycle in time and swerved away from the impending/prospective situation. I was taken aback when my pastor shouted after rolling down his side mirror "Oloroburuku ni e Sha" (you are an unfortunate fellow) the tricycle guy replied back "Ogun fe pa e Sha" (it's like Ogun want to kill you Sha) pastor blurted out again "Koni ragba fun awon to ni e" (it won't be better for those that gave birth to you) but the tricycle guy just didn't respond to that one as he sped off with his team of passengers. Then pastor's wife now told Pastor to calm down in this manner "Daddy wa otito, mi o rope won to owo Tor Oloroburuku yen" (I dont think money was used to upbring that unfortunate fellow). Then suddenly there was dead silence in the car.. so in the heat of the moment, they forgot tat a church member rode with them.. we got to church and I went back home. Every Sunday I say our lords prayer and that's it. |

Storypot:Well, that was a very unfortunate incident! But have you sat down to ask yourself, why am I a christian and why do I go to church? When you answer the 'WHY' question... you'll make the right decision! I am not a Christian because I was born into a Christ home neither do i attend church cos of my pastor as Salvation is personal! A pastor is a human like me so he is not my model to follow... 7 Likes |

Yes they went overboard but we are all work in progress. However, the word pastor is a title and not a symbol of perfection as many wear it as just title and forget they are ambassadors. Please don't let that deter you, but ask God to direct you to your rightful place of worship. There are still sons and there is no man without a weakness but it's a duty to keep it on check. God bless and guide you. 2 Likes |

I gave up going to church when an invited pastor said God ask him to bless 10 people that will give the church 50k each, and that was a program to round up 3days fasting,prayer and vigil..in my mind I was like so it not about my fasting ,vigil and prayer it now about who hv 50k.....ever since then no more church all I know is GOD |

libertyfather: I still go but not I'm supposed to. That's one of my reason too and second one is seeing pastor and church elders children entering children church in the dark at night vigil. Jejele went for night vigil, came outside to ease myself and I suddenly noticed some teenagers male and female and one of the senior pastor son entering children church in the dark. Went closer and it was very dark, I was traumatized |

libertyfather:You will see members running to give him the money,forgetting say na God dey bless person,no be pastor.. If the pastor get blessings sef,he won't be looking for who to bless him with 50k.. Atleast this one was even good. Some will tell you that its God that needs the money ![]() |

Storypot:it isn't enough reason why you should stay away from church. Your pastor is human too with emotions and may react odd in situations like any other humans, you should understand this |
