Hillsong

I must say i am down with free speech, i believe it can give a voice to the people and serves the rights and opinions of the intelligent and those involved in any situation.....sniff......God bless America...tear. seriously though free speech I'm for it. however it also gives a voice to the stupid, the ignorant, the red necked, the racist, the sexist, the all round cockheads who's opinions and ideas are as warped as there sense of right and wrong from which they can spew all kinds of accusations and theory's without evidence or proof claiming them as fact all in the name of "i am a cockhead and i have free speech for my grand father fought in the war so that gives me the right to piss all over everything he fought for" yes sir it is a free country you do have free speech and make no mistake about it you are by all definition a cockhead.

over a series of recent events i found myself feeling the need to jump into the corner of one Hillsong church something which came as quite a shock to myself for prior to this moment on the topic of Hillsong i would not be inclined to give a flying fox one way or the other yet now here i am ringside holding the spit bucket on fight night. For those unfamiliar with Hillsong their a successful church group grown from 45 people to a now tens of thousands of people in Australia alone they have also expanded into Europe, Russia, Ukraine and England, and are a Beacon to the pentecostal christian community but along with there success has come speculation from pretty much all accounts of people even some of there own kind so to speak, assholes from all over the land unite as one to put shit on a church its inspiring just absolutely inspiring (just google it you'll see what i mean)

allow me to explain i stumbled upon a forum debate about Hillsong and whether it was or was not a cult. never heard it being called a cult before seemed unusual but i was interested a friend of mine had jumped on the Hillsong band wagon so any kinda insider information i could use against them was a plus. as i began to scroll down i received a mixed bag of laughter and anger at the sheer stupidity of some of the statements made. one i was particularly fond of was:

"its a cult man they just want your money"

to which the reply came

" oh really why do you say that"

to a response

"a friend of mine went there and reckoned that.......... "

ah sorry can i stop you there maybe its just me but i really don't see the creditability of a statement that kicks of with my Friend said. a Friend of yours said so, shit argument over i apologise for ever doubting you. so you weren't actually there, you haven't really heard or seen anything from the other sides story your only source of information comes from the supporters of your own cause and you believe your statement to be fair why??? and besides that i was unaware of the fact that wanting your money classifies something as a cult Mc Donalds wants your money, they a cult? pick an industry any industry....they want your money! hell when i was 10 i would jump for joy when my grandparents came around because they always funded my vision for toys and candy does that then make me the member of a seedy bunch of depressive freaks robed in long white jump suits hell bent on drinking the magic cool aid, according to a little bit of research Hillsong is worth 10's of millions and there on the up with there own sales of books, music and Cd's not to mention financial backing of multi million dollar company's such as Gloria Jeans so why the hell would they want your measly 10, 20 maybe 50 dollars unless they actually believed that it was a godly thing to do in their religion, think about it.

oh but they have a big expensive building and pay no tax? um I'm not an expert but i have been to Rome and seen the popes crib its not a cardboard box and Ive seen sum mosques around and i don't think they were done on a budget champ despite the fact they are a big church with a lot of people its, now a crime for a man to be smart about how he runs a church that's right a church and the law is that a church can operate without being taxed because of its relevance and input into the community whether it needs it or not. the whole debate was filled with I'll bet that... and I heard that... and I know you are but what am I... it was some seriously high grade intellectual stuff

as far as i can see in every religion Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Mormon whatever the only other goal besides your own eternal salvation is others eternal salvation and your gonna pull these people down because they are good at what they do and actually believe and act upon what they teach. have you seen some of the stuff they do they pull the big gun preachers from all over the world and market their music worldwide put on festivals and stuff for kids and whether you believe it or not give a truckload of cash to various charity's everywhere but the reality is, that is none of your dam business...tool.

who says you cant run a church like a business seems to me like its relatively the same principles you want it to grow and expand and make money so you can then build sister buildings to grow and expand and so on, the circle of life continues. who gives you the right to say it shouldn't be done you go to church on Easter and on Christmas and that makes you a saint and scholar in the matter. so what their making money, good for them do you get mad at coca cola for making money just because you don't like their product? I haven't seen any blogs or forums about that vile injustice all though with dickheads like you out there its always on the books.

so tell me how much money have you given to charity this year, if you didn't have to pay tax would you and if you had that kinda money would you even give half of what they do???....hmm.....well i guess that is your Que to shut the fuck up then! freedom of speech and all.
