Collecting Debt Owned By A Deceased Is Like A Man Condemed To Death Who Commits Sucide ,his Corpse Is Then Hanged, A Pity Churches Nowadays Are Worse Than Politicians

Sammye:

Why do we always see things in one angle. You are not there when they made the law guiding them, Mr chima, God bless his soul could be the one that moved the motion. What am saying, every group has rules and all members know them.
No body is too young to die, no body is most suitable to die, clear your debts now, because death is a debt we all have to pay.
you don't no the time. He probably could be waiting for the time to clear everything but grace was not sufficient enough.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen
#clear your debts in all sense

So, you are clearly in support of the Choir's stance?

ShenTeh:


Excuse me sir!

So if I attend your funeral, my corpse should be expecting your ghost at mine, right?

I just want to be sure I understand you well. That's all.

I'll attend urs 1st. Eat rice and dance one corner for ur graveside. Heaven will determine how I'll pay u back

Even if this story is true, Yahweh might've ordered them not to to sing at the burial

His ways are mysterious

May Yahweh order a madman to give you a hot slap for that atrocious comment.

No problem. Provided I fulfill purpose and my days before time's up.

However, you now see how your earlier post reeks of 'wisdom'?

Interesting.

Yahweh once told Ezekiel to eat bread baked with human shiit, if he can order that why couldn't he have ordered what the choir did? are you Yahweh? his ways are highly mysterious

U re d one that has failed to see the wisdom in my earlier post. Igbo ppl say "onye na ejere mmadu ka ana ejere" meaning that it's he who attends ppls occasions that people will attend his own. Whether marriage or death, if u re always present when ppl need u, during ur own tym, ppl will attend urs. Now don't quote me again

Some Christians are the most confused set of beings. They say God is a God of Love. But yet find it very hard to practice the very foundation of the religion. Meanwhile they will be forming like they are co-chairing the throne in heaven with God. Too busy judging and condemming rather than loving their neighbor.

Just so you know you don't call the shots!

He didn't attend people's funerals. No one attended his funeral. I still don't get how that works.

did the same to my dad. when he died, church did not come because according to them, he was not a member but my mom was... my dad was among the small group of people that built the yeye church from the scratch... donated money to finance the church but when he died, they remembered na my mom be member and not him.. mad people i tell you!!

Where are the "thank god am catholic" people.

When it comes to dues collection Catholics and Anglicans are the worst.

They will make sure you pay all the dues the deceased owes the parish before anything.

When a family member of mine died we had to pay all her dues before a date was fixed and during the burial they collected offering for purgatory.

my mom told them not to come again sef because we were dumbfounded with what they said.. we went to the cathedral and they gave us bus and my uncles friends and folks from the cathedral came... na Anglican church, mad people dem be...

Read my very first post again. The man I talked about attended a lot of funerals wen he was alive &because of that a lot of ppl attended his, even though he was from the lowest class in the society. The funny thing about it was dat while alive, he always went with an umbrella to d funerals in case of rain, or too much sun. Everyone that attended his came with an umbrella too. If at this point u fail to understand the message I'm passing, then let's leave it at that

Meanwhile why is the picture not in tandem with the real situation. Nigerian complaining of white man burial.

Poster on facebook is just a frustrated person and trying to vent anger anywhere.

Because it's fake news lies!

Can anyone show me Ifeanyị Ọnwụnemea who took to fb!

So all catholic parishes don't have same rules? If collecting dues in such cases wasn't a standard I am sure the parishioners would've written to Rome because they're good at that.

P.S visiting a place doesn't mean you actually know the ins and outs.

this is not standard Catholic Church rules, you probably will never see it outside Nigeria and if it is true you will not see it in every Nigerian parish.



I have seen priest admonish that people should be careful of debt of any kind and family members should be happy to clear such but I have never seen anyone make such funny rules. my guess it that the rule was made by the choir.... for instance in my Church, the family burying or wedding must give the choir a stipend, if the family member is a chorister the stipend is waved...my guess is that the choir made a rule that the stipend will not be waved for choristers who didn't pay their dues which means the choir will not be there if the stipend isn't given.


the priest will perform the funeral without the choir, it is a weird rule that should be amended but it is simply a local choir thing not a Catholic thing.


my grand dad died of a long illness, he couldn't come to Church, the priest had to come to our house every week to conduct his own communion service for him, counsel him and hear confession and sometimes just keep him company, by the time he died he was owing years of CMO dues, but nobody asked us for it, the priest was extremely cordial, we buried him with the full Catholic community in attendance and simply settled the choir and other functionaries like the mass servers as is customary.


again all these are local Church rules and I believe it was the choir who established the weird rule

Themandator:



Purgatory kwa.... this doctrine made many Catholics to commit atrocities on behalf of the church during the inquisition era. The pope promised them that should they side with the church that when they die they would go straight to heaven without the need to temporal holding bay called purgatory.


The money made from that exercise was actually used to build the new Vatican, as we know it today

they should side with the Church? I don't get it
