The Life of Brian.

I loved the bit where he pretended to have lost all memory of having run from the cops and lost his license for it, how convenient. Kept saying "I honestly can't remember that".

I agree he is a very dangerous man, it worries me to know he could get a seat in parliament.

[tri boy]

so destiny church has been sucking in the dollars while the economy was up, is he now going to fund soup vans for his followers when they start hitting the poverty line?
A decent christian would wouldn't they?
I won't hold my breath.

[enigma51]

cheers bro. it was nice of you to untie hers hands so she could write the notes, you are a good sort.

Give a little take a little

That cracked me up, I've been nabbed in some very sorry states but I can remember all the times I've been arrested, yet he can't recall ONE? Bullshit.

I also noticed his missus eating during an interview; Christian manners perhaps?

[HenryDorsetCase]

I feel he plays on people who are seeking 'something' and seeks financial gain at the same time. With the cash he pulls he furthers his cause,

So, he is a shopkeeper? I used to get wound up about this stuff but now I dont. Its like all the sorts of deviancy that are out there that I dont practise: as long as they dont do it in the streets and frighten the horses, and as long as its consenting adults, then as far as I am concerned they can do what they want.

I would be pissed off if they tried to impose their rather odd world view on mine, but as long as my telly has an "off" button that seems unlikely.

I don't care for Mr Tamaki personally, however. Even though he is a fellow bicyclist of the motoring pursuasion.

Yeah, true enough, I've said I don't mind him having millions if the cash came from his business dealings. I just get annoyed at people who prey on those who are.......hmmm, less inclined to 'go their own way'.

What people do on Sunday (or behind closed doors) is their business.

You're right about the 'off' button but in this case curosity killed the cat.

[awayatc]

on the flip side, if all that has come from his own business ventures then good on him, I'm not going to get jealous of someone who can make a buck. If that cash has entered his wallet under the guise of doing 'gods' work then he's a cock.

The way different churches divide the collections :

Catholic church:
Priest goes: 1 for me, one for God....one for me, one for god

Jewish:
Rabbi draws a 1 meter circle on the ground, throws all the money in the air, what lands inside the circle is Gods,what lands outside goes to the Rabbi...

Brian Tamaki:
Throws the whole lot into the air, and yells out loud:
Here God, take whatever you need...........

[Goblin]

But the really scary thing is they have schools where they're teaching their young all this bollocks. She even fancies herself a bit of a match-maker so is actually breeding God's Army. God help us if he ever gets into gubmint.

[Madmax]

dont get me started on this f**ker again

[Skyryder]

Done a bit of reading have ya?

Can't help but agree with your last paragraph. The bible is an interpretation and when people saw a few weird things go down (parting of the red sea etc etc) they put it all down to god because it was the only way they could come to grips with it all.

If Tamaki and his god-bothering mates could get together with the Sensing Murder crew we could have a world devoid of premarital sex and they'd KNOW when and where you were tossing off.

I was bought up as a Baptist so have a 'little' knowledge of the old testament.

I can't say Destiny is my cup-of-tea, but you do need to give the man his due.......it appears Destiny has dragged a lot of people out out of gangs and off the dole, so it's not all bad and it is their choice to give.

...and as Ziggy Ziglar says, "If there's a hypocrite between you and God, the hypocrite is closer to Him"!

He does ride a chopper but!......that's really poor form.

Be careful with those thoughts mate, you could be the next person that gets ripped off by one of his converts! I once employed a woman she used to be a serious drug addict but became born again when she found Jesus and welcomed him into her life. All good so far, she was "saved".

Her only purpose in life now is to evict Satan from her life and anyone else she comes into contact with. Her questions to me and others were based around our beliefs, when she discovered we did not share her exact same doctrine, she changed. She became surley and uncommunicative and started not doing her job as well as she had been, cut everycorner she could.

I am a decent sort of a person really, and rented her one of my houses at a very reduced rate, allowed her 2 dogs there, all sorts of things to give her a hand up. She came to me one day and said she was leaving, ok says me. I had a new baby at the timeand was up to my eyeballs in new motherhood when this woman came to give me back the keys to the hosue. Yes it was all clean, yes everything was fine. I gave her a cash cheque for the bond (yeah I know a dumb thing to do, but she was a decent christian woman eh, not the sort to do the dirty?) without checking the house. She said she was not sure of the exact house number she was going to be staying at, but she would ring me with it later in the day. All good.

Feed baby, bundle in car and go out to the house. Absolute disaster, you have no idea what a shitty (literally I am talking about too BTW) filty mess, her dogs had chewed the bottom corners off the frenchdoors, carpets ruined unbelievable. Needless to say she never rang me with a forwarding addy, her cell phone no longer connected to the network.

I went to her Pastor to find out where she had gone and to let him know what had happened. While he did not actually say the words to me, I came away knowing that because I did not follow that doctrine I was Satan in disguise, anything they could do to hurt/harm/cost Satan was acceptable! I am being serious here, and have spoken over the years to others that have been done by these types of people. They are not OK, they are subversive and in my opinion actually dangerous.

Destiny is a larger form of the church that this woman belonged to.

Yep and if you ever catch up with her she'll claim the devil made her do it.

The Devil is used as an excuse for their own lack of morality and values.

Now see that is an interesting slant on the theme. I have heard that one used too! A company I worked for had a noticable decline in sales over couple of months. It was concerning, but no reason could be found until...

A rep tendered his resignation...

You've got it, he was starting a new job with an opposition firm. He took so much business from this company it was not funny. When confronted, he got down on his knees and prayed, he did not respond, he prayed! When he had finished he got up and admitted more than we had discovered, told us the devil made him do it, and that all was sweeet as now as he had prayed for forgiveness and received it!

I best drop this thread actually....LOL

Just watch this guy, see what turns up. I simply don't think his motivation is all above board.

Name for me one of these crazy religious zelots that isn't in it for the money.
Turn on your idiot box on a sunday morning and that's about all you get and their all doing the same thing, GENERATING MONEY !! What make that Tamaki sleezball any different other than the fact that he is our sleezball here in NZ.
If people lead lives that are that sad, and in need of this sort of scum , to bleed their wallets, then they are truely sorry arse people.
But in saying that how can you feel sorry for them if they let themselves be sucked by scum like that.?????
