praxs:

Dont say when u are not sure of ur infor. Christianity is very very much alive in the NE. The faith of the pple dere has not be shaken despite the persecution. ITS NOT TRUE, where ever u are getting ur infor from that NE is almost cleared d

am not getting any info from any where, i shuttle between jos, gombe, numan, yola and maidugiri

Different standards for different parishes i guess. Has anyone attended a rccg city of david wedding? 'Nuff said.

And what's wrong with the list…for all i know it's the same procedures for all true bible believing churches...there's nothing new here if you are really a committed worker in church and you know the doctrines of wedding/marriage...what they are simple saying is, dress decently, let the church commitee know your wedding plans on time and keep to time on your wedding day...is that really a hard thing to do??

The RCCG rules still looks liberal to me sef. In my church, the groom to be house or residence will be inspected and verified without his knowledge to ascertain that he is the owner of the house or he rented it himself to avoid situations where an husband to be is actually squatting with a friend and still claim he has his own apartment.

Whoever goes there knows what he's looking for.

But if you have a failed marriage, you will go back to the church

Bisjosh:
I never fancied marrying in the church cos their wahala is just too much. ..registry all d way with 10 peeps (fam and frnds)is what i wish for

It is not the same for all true believing churches like you say.

4. Why does the church want to see the dowry and bride price list
18. why can't i throw a night party prior to my wedding
10. why does the the church want to modify my reception program?
7. Why can't I have a tail on my wedding gown?
14. Why can't my husband wear a waist coat if he likes

Deeper life and Mountain of Fire is stricter than this

martineinstein:
they don't have conditions when giving tithes and offerings

Ofcourse not..

Thats why they accept: Cheques, bank draft, Credit and Debit Card, Cash, Travelers Cheque, Money order, internet transfer and POS payouts. They also accept any denomination (Including Coins).

U will have a failed marriage not me

STORY FOR THE GODS. I DONT THINK THESE RULES SELF DAY BIBLE.

AnonyNymous:
This part made me laugh so hard I choked on what I was eating
"The wedding will commence with or without the bride or the groom"

Na today! I hear say e don happen for LFC bfor sef. By d time couple carry deirselves reach church, pastor don conduct marriage ceremony in deir absence, he just told dem to go dt deir marriage is blessed.

Looks like a standard list to me.

SO you judge a 'TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH; by their adherence to these same draconian rules?

Tell me where in the Bible were these rules stated?

No Night Parties?! Really?! How about the Church also give them a Bed time and the sex position to copulate with..




And people wonder why the number of unbelievers are on the rise..

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN HIRING A DOMESTIC STAFF

- Know the needs of your family in relation to the kind of staff needed
- Make a list of qualities & skills you would prefer in the staff working in your home and ensure you do not derail from it
- Have a reasonable expectation of the staff
- Interview the candidate against your list of qualities & skills
- Check the candidate's medical condition from an accredited Medical Laboratory or hospital
- Always conduct background check on the candidate before s/he resumes work with you
- Always keep in mind that your domestic staff is your employee and not your servant

How exactly will all of that guarantee a successful marriage though?

People that adhere to such are retarded billy goats that deserves to be shot and fed to the dogs.. What nonsense!!!!!

freshcvvs:


Now you can see its not about the couple but About the church and their silly traditions

If the couple do NOT come late, but come at the time they agreed with the church, they printed off on the invitation cards, come at the time their wedding programme says, would that be catastrophic?

The Church has its traditions which is built around decency, order and Christ. Anyone that does not want it should go and marry in his house. It is not by force.

Our churches are d 1ce making most girls lost dia husband 2 b 2 another woman.
And dey are d reason most of d girls get pregnant n even hv children b4 marriage.

Person don manage see man 4 dis hard time 1 church go come dey give list wen d man run dem go start 2 hold prayer say na spiritual problem.

Ladies Pls take ur stand

Why not cancel or postpone?

Hehehehee, let churches continue dis ego massaging bullshyt. With less than 20k a shoe shining aboki can marry his Islamic 4 four wives and spew his almajiris all over d place, whom have the tenacity to survive against all odds, by the end of the next 20 years Christianity will be almost non existence in Nigeria, at least for now the north eastern part is already almost cleared of Christianity. Slowly but surely it will come to pass.

as a Christian, I sadly acknowledge this as the truth

iwatchandlisten:


Why would an intending marriage couple come late to their own wedding? If they cant be disciplined enough to appear in church on time for their own wedding.....

Let's always think deep.

Traffic
Vehicular breakdown
Health issues
Sudden occurrences e.tc

Well, to those saying there is nothing wrong with the list I want to let you know dat some things are wrong with d list.
With d way things are going in churches dis days, a time will come wen d church will determine how many times you sleep with your spouse in a week or wen and wen not to breath.

Wat is all dis d church must be furnished with dis d church must be furnished with that. For goodness sake these are adults that knows what they want.

That d church must be fully aware of every inkling that happens before, during and after d traditional marriage. They are no more comfortable and contented with handling just white wedding so dey now want to expand their coast to high jack and take control of traditional.

Arrant.,.,.,.,..

I'm sure if the couple cancel or postpone, no Church will say no. In fact, it works better for them.

Better than strolling in at 12pm when the programme should start at 9am.

So if the bride suddenly falls ill,the church will wed who?
The day is for the couple not for the church


BTW, church's got no biz in wedding in the first place self. Never by God nor anywhere in the bible.

Your statement is out of point

my point exactly, they want to dictate every thing to the couple, control their trad even control their reception (as they asked that the reception programme be given to them for corrections) which kind thing be that

I actually thought i had seen worst other i saw this.....

No. 7 No tail on the Wedding Gown.. REALLY?!!!! Why not just also give them the style of Gown to wear. Infact, tell them the Tailor that must make the dress too..


No. 11 The Bride must take a Pregnancy Test that she must pay for... They also send her to one Hospital which is almost always owned by a Church membe who is sometimes a member of the Marriage committee.. If this isn't the definition of Racketeering, I wonder what is.. The Church should be paying for the test because they are the party interested in knowing her pregnancy status.

No. 12 You must bring food and drinks for the Ministers.. After paying my tithes and offering in the church for so many years, they still tax you on your wedding day.


www.nairaland.com/attachments/4373471_marriagelist1_jpeg0161e22e2d95bcea930ba4b096de4310

No. 15. The Church also determines the number of persons allowed on your train. If this isn't the definition of over-stepping boundaries, please I will like to hear yours.

No. 17. HIV screening!!? Shouldn't this be advisory rather than compulsory? Even my employer should not have access to that kind of personal medical record except under special condition. But a Church can do this and people see no reason to object..


No. 18 No Night Parties?!! Like seriously?! Do they remember that the very first miracle performed by Jesus was at a wedding where he changed water to wine to keep the Party going? SO what is the Lights out time for an RCCG wedding?







Like seriously!!! Isn't it some shiit like this that made Jesus feel some type of way which led him to fhcuk some people up in the Tabernacle?


For those of you who have no Problems with a Church or Pastor exerting this level of control over your lives, you will all do well to Google about Jim Jones.. The Pastor who holds the World record for orchestrating the largest mass murder-suicide in the History of Mankind. Over 900 member either happily killed themselves or were killed by this Pastor and his goons. It all starts with a little control, then ......................
