The Stand of the Methodist Church
June 23, 2009
The propaganda by the illegal tin pot dictator Bainimarama’s junta is so pervasive nowadays; that the mainstream news media are now spewing forth only information that the junta would like people to see, read and hear. Like Goebbel’s propaganda machine in Nazi Germany, those who hold and express opposing views are being hunted down and dealt with by the Military ‘SS’ and Police Commissioner Teleni’s ‘Gestapo’ units.
The detainment of Rev Lasaro a few weeks ago is a case in point. The Christian Citizenship role of the Methodist Church is to ensure ethical conduct in national governance in accordance with Christian principles. In pursuance of such divine calling, early missionaries of the Church have been instrumental, since arriving in Fiji in 1835, in taking such a stand. Even now, despite grave risks and threats, Ministers of the Church have stuck solidly to their moral high ground. Tin pot dictator Bainimarama is accusing the Methodist Church of being political. His illegal government has already announced that it will not allow the Church’s 2009 Rewa Conference to take place. While the Church and its congregation are now fasting and praying for divine guidance, it is expected that in the next few weeks, the Church will announce its stance on the Bainimarama junta’s directive concerning the conference. We have finally been able to obtain a copy of the stance of the Church which we reproduce hereunder.
We are of the view that Fiji has had enough of the insanity and the lies; we thank the Church for being true to its divine calling, in standing up to courageously point out to Bainimarama and his illegal regime the errors of its ways. Instead of impoverishing the people and dragging down the nation to its ruin, Bainimarama and his junta should heed the Church’s call for the restoration of basic freedoms and peoples’ dignity, and take the nation back to elections so the people may speak and elect those who will lead them towards a better life than what this illegal regime has given them.
Here under is the stand of the Methodist Church:

Well done to the statement!
But again I still feel, ALL OUR TALK IS WIND…and we have been doing a lot of that really since Dec. 5 2006.
Something CONCRETE will have to come out of the fasting and praying. Our Father is an ACTIVE trinity in Heaven and Earth. He doesn’t slumber or fall asleep.
But we seem to. Oh well! Another protest march in Sydney by FDFM in July. Hopefully again the focus on the world will be on us BUT since we are not courageous like the Iranians, we are not the lead news for the world. Sad for us really!
Jonestown all over again :-

Well, better late then never, I guess!!!! The church’s silence has been deafening in the last two years!!! More so when people have been tortured and killed. Constitutional officers sacked without a murmur???? Citizens basic human rights violated…..blatently……silence!!!!!!
Money taken out of the “medicine coffers” to meet the military over expenditure…….church mute!!! Now at last there’s movement….yeah
Fiji is now a mushroom state. Mushroom? Well, we know how mushrooms are produced — they are, like our Fiji citizens today, kept in the dark and fed bullshit!!!!!!!
The potential for Fiji to head down this path, as in Nigeria, is very real :-
Take the time to spread this around and look at the whole series of videos.
I understand that tithing relates only to the old Testament, because you can’t give to the Lord that which is already His !
And to give only 10% when he already owns it 100%, is effectively keeping 90% for yourself, and that’s theft !
Unfortunately, these Charismatic Churches, use vulnerable, naive people from society and warp their minds into thinking they are serving god.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Many, but not all, are simply plundering the community and lining their own pockets.
If you want to help people directly, give your 10% to world vision or any other of the well established welfare organisations.
God will still smile upon you and bless you.
Don’t be suckers for these men who give fancy sermons, dress in fine suits, make fanciful speeches full of promises.
When I saw this headline today, I knew I had to investigate further;
“”"”"Military impersonator charged
Charges have been laid against a 40 year old man of Ba who allegedly impersonated a military intelligence officer on Monday.”"”"”
I have established that the alleged offender was wandering the streets uttering bovine manure and dribbling down his chin.
Apparently the police thought it was the band master giving a press conference until they realized that he had said 3 words without saying ‘aaaahhhhaahhh’
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL.
All other christian communities must unite with the methodist in standing up to the current political situation in the country.
With a united community of believers fighting for freedom through the principles of the Holy Gospel no one can stop you.
Its what you can do for your country not what your country can do for you as the famous saying goes.
Now is the time to stand up and be counted not tomorrow, it is today because tomorrow never comes.

90% is theft?
What about 120%?
Per cent % means parts per hundred, so you can’t give over 100 percent % , it’s imposible.
100% means one
To put it in simple terms so you can understand:
Taking anything over 100% is stealing. Tithing is 10% to the church. 110% is not only being selfish, but stealing 10% from whoever.
A MESSAGE TO BAINIMARAMA AND HIS BUNCH OF LOOSERS
You have been tested by SWM and these are my finding
You have deficiancy in education
You are deficient in common sesnse
You are lacking in stamina
You are going nuts in the head according to your bodyguards
You have failed in your coup
Your output stinks
The expectation of the people that followed you from day one has diminished dramatically.
YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND WANTING
WHAT YOU MUST DO RIGHT NOW
Court martial yourself and execute your self by hanging from the Gate of government buildings and save the tax payers on a long legal battle.
or
Stand in front of your man and order them to shoot you
SA YALA EKE
Mark, to answer your problem above.
Here is a little something that is indisputable mathematical logic.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint..it goes like this:
What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%… How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A -R -D-W-O -R -K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K -N -O -W-L -E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5
= 96%
But ,
A-T -T -I -T -U -D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B -U -L -L -S -H-I -T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S -S -K -I -S-S -I -N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7
= 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top..
Sounds just like the corrupt, inept military junta in Fiji.
