I have been a so called member for about 5 years. it was a girl
I met from a very influential family in the church that invited me all after we had
dated for some time as well as were sexually active prior to me attending. This girl
is brainwashed as her family has raised her in this church all of her life. Now in
her thirties, she is desperate for marriage. Im not opposed to marrige but I can no
longer handle the church & its pressures, 12 hour Sunday services (as Sunday is for
God), WEdnesday biblestudy, Friday prayer meeting, Saturday 6 a.m. devotion, which
last all day due to car washes, going to grocery stores to sing & beg for money.
This ladys dad was one of 1st 8 members in 1973 when they incorporated? Why did they
incorporate? Her sister & brother inlaw are also pastors(unpaid) but pressure
brethren to "sponsor" them. They are have kids & because family lives in US, they
are given foodstamps, welfare & a small salary that the church requires them to give
back at either "Church Thanksgiving" or "Church Anniversary" as an offering. They
are given this salary only because they live in U.S. & will qualify for Social
Security benifits as a result.
The lady I dated is conflicted as she is brainwashed
& a slave to the church but lives a double life as her family still thinks she is a
virgin in her thirties. She lies to her family as she has had numerous relationships
& doesnt want to disapoint or embarrass family as they are co-founders of the
church. I was used as a tool to give money to the church, since I was not only a
legal citizen but had a good paying job. The church tries to hide the fact that
there are many sins that go on within the walls of the church. The youth in the
church are extremely sexually active with eachother & i was responsible for helping
3 female youth deal with unwanted pregnancies. One youth in the church has slept
with at least 14 female youth in the church. this has caused friction but pastors
just talk to youth and slap them on wrist because these youth are enrolled in a
"pre- Bible school" where they have given their word that when 18 they will possibly
become one of these unpaid Pastors. So much pressure on the youth to enter bible
school in Philippines & become Pastors, rather than nurses or something they find
passion in doing & are paid to do it.
The daughter I dated is ignorant like so many
of the PMCC 4th wathers because they are uneducated & have never read a book other
than the Bible. The son of the so called Apostle recently ran for Congress in the
Philippines; and lost. The brother of the so called Apostle, "Bishop Art", has a
daughter who is a Congress person in the Philippines. This so called Apostle is
trying to use his money & influence to buy his way into the power of politics in the
Philippines.
He has recently told only 4th watchers that the end times are near & he
is so bold as to tell his followers that the Rapture will be in 2024. This is not
only when the so called Apostle turns 80, but it also marks the 50th year this cult
has been active. Mind you, Arsenial used to be a pastor for several years of a Four
Square church, until he found he was good at decieving people and started his own
church as well as fullfill his desire for money & power. He is treated like a Pope
and worshiped by his followers. All of his followers desire what we all desire. To
be happy, to have a job and family we love & to be the best we can be.
I feel for
those stuck in the church that are illegal aliens, or like the daughter of one of
the founders who all desire more out of life but are afraid to stand up to the onlt
thing they know. Many of these followers are poor or are working poor, yet the
pastors pull them in the office one by one to let them know they are not paying
enough tithes or as much as year before. When Church Thanksgiving comes around
(Celebration of Apostles birthday), the pastors make each person walk in front of
the church and write their name next to amounts ranging from $15,000 to $100, so the
whole congregation can see how much each person is giving. Talk about high pressure. Then the gossip begins. Who gave what & why such & such only gave this much when
they just bought a new car. Lies built on Lies and scam after scam, with the end
result benifitting who? What corporation? My guess is that Arsenials son Johnathon,
pastor of Southbay church in Southern California, will be the next chosen one or so
called Apostle.
Save your money believe what you will but please stay away from this
blood sucking CULT!
