‘Nothing strange. The method of conversion in Asian countries steps beyond the boundaries of civilized behavior.”
JimWayne, India is a big country. There are no doubt total charlatans among the millions there. I am sorry you went to a “church” that was nothing but a money funneling farce, but, one of our church elders visited India two years ago and worshipped with native Indians in house churches who secretly worship to avoid death/attack by Hindus. We have their photos on one of our walls and pray for them. They are real Christians, I assure you, and no money was changing hands.
And if there is an elaborate fictitious scheme to funnel money in India, it is not set up by “Christians,” anyone can call themselves a Christian, but there is nothing Christian about any such behavior.
This is exactly the kind of lie that puts me off. I was there in India for some time and there is no problem for anyone if they don't get aggressive. I hope you know that the head of the ruling political party in India is a Catholic. Even the previous government which was accused of opposing Muslims had Christians and Muslims in it.
We should stick to facts instead of lies propagated by allies of Islamic fundamentalists and Communists. This is the second point that puts me off. Our churches go to India and promptly ally themselves with Maoist groups and Muslims.
This is exactly why socialism creeps in unchecked. For these messengers carrying the Bible, it does not matter if socialism takes over the society. In fact, it is something they welcome. I hope you read Vatican's message yesterday calling for a new world order.
