So Weird!!

I was just browsing thru the web for a book that I wanted to gift my friend, and I stumbled upon this church website.. I have no idea how do they have over a 100,000 congregation attending their church. It's the most weirdest church with the most weirdest belief ever... I think church is a place for fellowship, to be counseled, corrected and comforted. But I do not see anything other than criticism, condemnation, and fines in this church... yeah you read it right.. there is no grace in this church. You commit something wrong and you pay US$500 as fine... weird!! really weird!!!

I have copied excerpts from their beliefs below, Check out this link for more of it.. http://www.landoverbaptist.org/beliefs.html

We do not read, eat, consume, digest, or 'try on' any product that is not made and manufactured by born-again, Bible believing, Fundamentalist Baptist Christians, and we would have you know that we condemn anyone that does, and pray as King David did, 'against them' for a quick end and a speedy journey to a very hot place, where they can spend out all eternity honoring our Lord and Maker in a literal lake of fire, Amen. Please find our site a blessing.!

We believe that when a person first gets saved, the first thing they should do is buy a suit and a tie. If the individual is a female, then a dress not raised over an inch above the knee is acceptable. Clothing is perhaps the most important thing about being a Christian. If one is not properly clothed and fully representative of what God would want them to appear like... well then, that person is probably not saved. Our motto is "get saved, get to a Christian Clothing store, and get fitted for the kingdom." Anyone who does not conform to the dress code at Landover Baptist will be fined no less than $300.00 a violation

Our pastor sometimes uses his godly authority to invoke the Lord's Law from the Bible in Leviticus. This is sometimes too much for some folks. If they refuse punishment, then they have the option of paying a $500.00 fine plus expenses accrued by the planning committee of Levitical Law Implementation.

If you haven't cracked a Bible in a few years... then Landover is not for you.

The following violations will result in a monetary fine of no less than $200.00 as to be determined by Church Pastors and Elders: Failure to show up at church on time, Failure to attend a church service without written permission from a pastor or other agreed upon authority, Church parking lot violations, Single males or females caught in the houses of members of the opposite sex without proper supervision, out after curfew... and more (check the website)

You will want to make your reservations 2 years in advance for any service where head Pastor, Deacon Fred is preaching. (Please be patient, we are booked solid) Cost is $75.00 per person


I AM SO GLAD I DO NOT BELONG TO LANDOVER BAPTIST CHURCH

hhhmmm.... Interesting...


So I had this thought running in my head today.. and I thought (thought again??) why not share it here on my blog... so if at all someone accidentally stumbles onto my page, they can be part of this insight I am sharing on this little public space here.

I have realized today, that when you ask someone for a favor, there are only 2 answers you can expect - Yes or No. But nobody tells you that upfront. They make a lot of excuses before you know you gotta find someone else to do the job. And I have come to learn of it that there can be only 2 reasons why someone wouldn't want to help you out when you need them to -

1. They are really not available
2. They really don't wanna do it.

There are no other explanations other than the 2 I have mentioned above. And I have further cleared it out by coming to the conclusion, most of the time it is because of the kinda person we are and the bond that we share with them. If you are the greatest pal they ever got (or at least try to be one) they will totally love you for who you are. And before you know it, they would have walked an extra mile for you..

Oh yeah.. but to be that 'great friend', you gotta walk the first mile with them... ;)
So wish you this new year that you would be a great friend to your pals and stand by them all through it... :)
