    There are a lot of crooks in church, you know, it’s all a pretense of holiness!!!

    Most young people nowadays are not adhering to church norms.There is also the issue of many newly formed churches losing their doctrine way.Their failure means that very few single people receive a Christian upbringing in their youth. They grow up to be terrible horrible no good youths who cannot be able to have their own families.And since the number of the youth churchgoers is dwindling, I guess they're now desperate to drag any singles in the name of this recent survey.

    Churches of Today are Where devils Gather to "Steal, Kill, and Destroy" Unsuspecting lives.
    *This is Why I advised a Lady recently to "Focus on GOD" and NOT Churches of Today that Have become "DENs of👺👹😡Robbers" to Mention just One of the EVILs hidden in Churches.

    Who paid for this survey?

    Ng'ang'a,from donations. Anyway, a church is a social gathering like any other place.I am sure some couples have met in funerals and thrived.Heck if marriages are made in heaven,then it does not matter where the two or three meet.The key is to have shared values.
    The idea that you will find a good mannered,well behaved partner,rooted in "HOLLY COMMUNION",that would lead to holy union is purely based on perception,and hope.Much like a prostitute wearing a buibui conveys piety,and thus less"bad",and cleaner than the mini-skirts ...
    As I have said anumber of times on this forum, take your time to know someone.That's how you find out the hidden good,and the bad.Dont rush especially if you are in for the long hawl.And for good measure, avoid sex till you are married.Amen.

    Just be careful no one tells you the Lord says you are my wife or husband coz the devil can say the same and destroy you. There must be a confirmation from from non partisan quarters

    @ SimamaImara, " the lord told me line" does not work any more. Not that I tried,but ,many are realizing that to choose a partner is entirely up to you. God has equipped you with skils to use in weeding out the' undesirables' no matter what their lips say.
    No woman in their right mind would seriously take a felon who found christ in prison after spending 15 years for serial robberies.God would be real cruel to tell her to entangle with such a brute.Granted people rehabilitate,but there are certain cases where the risk is not worth. Remember marriage is a risk venture as well.So just minimize your risk by making wise choices using what you think is right for you,even if it contradicts with what you think God says.And your choices have to be in line with accepted moral standards.

    There are a few victims of the Lord says marry me or marry my brother. After failed marriage the victim opens up about spiritual abuse. It's really sad. Saw one on Lynn ngugi show. But pp are wisening up these last days

    If only Jesus were to return today, I am imagining him going straight to the so called churches to continue with whipping as he had done in that early church... Just because of the things "Christians" do there.

    Unfortunately, most of anything to do with religion is bullshit! Mafi ya Kuku!!!

    60 years after independence and many Kenyans don't yet know that foreign religions institutions were extensions and extremely significant part of colonialism.
    Let us free ourselves mentally and focus on the true mind liberation from the tentacles of colonialism 60 years from now. 60 years from now, no Kenyan should:
    1. Have any foreign: colonial, religious, or slave based name of origin.
    2. Speak a colonial based language (Portuguese, French, Spanish, or French) at home or in public places like political meetings and or parliament.
    3. Worship a foreign slave based religion (especially the one based on the son of Mariam or of the son of Aminah) anywhere in COHO (Continent of Human Origins).
    4. Worship foreign based cultural constructs such as kissing and celebrating birthdays.
    5. Change their skin color through the use of inappropriate agents of skin and hair bleaching chemicals.
    6. Worship foreign cultural heroes and making them part of our daily inappropriate rituals.
    FINAL SOLUTION:

    Overhaul our entire schools curriculum and focus on MELTAS SUBJECTS.

    MELTAS

    Mathematics
    Engineering
    Languages
    Technology
    Agriculture
    Sciences: chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacy, astronomy, astrophysics, and meteorology etc.

    Please examine numbers one to six and ask you how long you are going to be a mental slave of other people's alien and arrogant constructs!
