Pastors or "Pastors"

This month has been the worst for me. I mean in terms of blogging.
I thought I would write about several issues that concern my fellow Ugandans' well being and events that have happened but in vain.
I thought of writing about this priest with an electrocuting gadget with the possible hope of trying to lure more and more followers to his congregation but thought twice about it. There was so much going on that I didn't have the time to write. However, one question keeps nugging me is did he really think he could get away with electrocuting people? How stupid can he get surely?
I even tried to write something short about the newly acquired Hammer by "Pastor" Muwanguzi. That also didn't find its way on my blog. I personally believe that these so called pastors have one aim only - to milk any remaining monies/ resources/property from poor and gullible Ugandans. The print media even did a feature on Pastor Muwanguzi, splashed copies of himself and his believers. I thought whoa! Must be quite a sensation. Though I stay along Entebbe road, I have not been able to find my way to his church. Being a staunch Catholic I prefer to remain in the Catholic Church.
I still believe that these 'pastors' are using the church as money making institutions. Look at the amounts of money people place in the baskets during Pastor Namutebi's sermons. I don't see anyone place coins, are there any rules to offertory giving?
I begin to think, maybe I should also start a church. By the end of the year I may drive around Kampala in a Hammer with the following number plates 'TOUCHED"

"TOUCHED". Lol!

Please don't get a yellow one, though. Imelda only got yellow to camouflage her bleaching.

@27th: Don't just threaten, you offer to house them for drinks. They will crawl out of the woodwork.

Can I stir the hornet's nest and mention that the old school Catholic church used to rip people off back then? That's why it is such a wealthy institution these days.

There used to be that thing of buying Indulgences. You pay for forgiveness of your sins.

I beg to put a full stop to your side of pstors making money..

Yes i agree with you there,however not all.Certainly the magice miracle guys are making money but not all.....

Just like in the catholic church where some priests are promiscuos..So atleast spare some pastors...

Infact lots of them are good...

the catholic church and every other institution to do with religion has got its shortcomings but giving back to the people should be a priority backed by honesty these pastors rip you off,tell you to ignore medicine that faith will heal you but want you to have a cd4 count done in the hospital!since they are so good why dont they do it.total rip off.
