Record Breaking Lows for EVM

Just recently, Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo officiated a Special Worship Service and dedicated a chapel in Hawaii to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Church in the West. Most of the recent dedications were measly Barangay Chapels donated by the brethren while others were renovated also by means of donations, out-of-pocket cash, building materials and “batares” or under the table construction workers who are pressured to finish the job so it can be re-dedicated. Some were purchased, some built from the ground up to a substandard no permit-no-electricity-no-water-no-plumbing-half-finished-chapel just like what they did in Ewa Beach, Hawaii and many other chapels before that just to show off to EVM and impress upon the brethren that under his administration, the rate of construction and the number of houses of worship dedicated easily outdoes the record of the past two administrations, and therefore, proves that there is absolutely no corruption! But in reality, it is a very clear manifestation of mismanagement, goal disengagement, unprofessionalism and a lack of concern not only for the safety of the brethren but most especially for their spiritual edification all for the desperate pursuit of EVM’s happiness and glory instead of our Lord God’s.

But did all their effort seem to make EVM happy? He didn’t sound so during his sermon, instead, he sounded like a cranky old man who was both bitter and defensive when he talked about, yes, yes, you got it, the detractors of the church, the defenders, the expelled rebels to his administration.  To make matters worse, his Yes Men and their henchmen were unable to grant his wish to quash the INC Small Remnant Gathering which through God’s guidance and the fulfillment of prophecy was peacefully, solemnly and successfully held at close proximity to their gathering. This must be what blew his fuse and increased his depressive symptoms throughout his Western Tour.

Watch this video and you be the judge.

But how can the members of the Church be able to have an open mind and heart to weigh in on the things they need to compare and discern when Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo is prohibiting them from reading the views of the other side entirely? Why, what are they afraid of…. the TRUTH? Because if they believe that they are on the side of God’s truth then they should have nothing to worry about.

 

And while the SCAN members were so busy looking for the INC Defenders, here are some folks who happened to sneak under their noses and got a picture taken in front of their EVM-posterity-sake chapel.

Don’t worry, we’ll be back again for another photo op when you finally really finish the chapel, fit for operation and duly registered with all the necessary permits and clearances from the city government.

Look, we were able to leave EVM a message…

And with that, Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo stormed back to his majestic Airbus, flew to Las Vegas Nevada fuming mad. How mad, well the District Minister, Assistant District Minister and District Secretary in Hawaii were immediately replaced and demoted. That’s how mad he was.

So after a disappointing trip to Hawaii, Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo was so PARANOID that he might be being followed. He parked his over-crowded Airbus 330 (VP-CBE) of about 20 passengers in Reno-Tahoe International Airport, chartered another plane to officiate the much anticipated 50th Anniversary in the West Celebration at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

Everybody was busy preparing for the arrival of the Most Important Person in the World at the newest and most expensive hotel in Sacramento, The Sawyer Kimpton Hotel.

And even if it’s just a stone’s throw away from the Golden 1 Center, EVM and his whole entourage have to be transported surrounded with maximum security because you know, heaven forbid, should he be exposed to a Defender, or the media which they expected, he might be forced to say, “No comment”.

The Golden 1 Center, also newly constructed was specifically chosen to house the hordes of EVM loyalists who will follow him to the ends of the earth. Nothing but the best to portray that this man and his organization alone is blessed by the Almighty, and the rest of humanity who will not follow him is cursed!

Being such a momentous benchmark in the history of the church, everybody was expecting thousands of EVM devouts to flood the gates of this dwarfed structure.

So what happened? No matter how much the Church Administration sends out reminders (coercive instruction) with a menacing threat of suspension from duty for anyone who will fail to attend to prove that they are One-With-EVM, only but a few heeded the mandatory attendance policy, thereby, making the 50th Anniversary Celebration in Sacramento …

the record-breaking lowest attendance in the history of the Church for the last 104 years.

No wonder EVM was so disappointed and left immediately after the worship service. I mean who wouldn’t be furious, considering he was so sure that he is the Most Important Person in the World, the attendance proved otherwise. I mean you can literally see the empty spaces in the audience and if not for the strict attendance-monitoring of Ministers and Church Officers, this event would have been a complete box-office flop.

Most of the attendees of the said event were so disgusted at how ridiculous the unnecessary security measures were, painting a picture of how fragile, insecure and petrified a man EVM really is.

Once EVM learned that Investigative Journalists were wanting to interview him in Sacramento, they increased Security in the Hotel, and at the Golden 1 Center. The District Ministers instructed all the congregants that if any Media Reporters were to approach them for an interview, the official answer will only be “NO COMMENT!” That’s how terrified Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo is to face anybody regarding real issues in the church, let alone, the media.

With an unprecedented low turn out of attendees and the presence of an “imminent” danger to EVM’s life in the hands of the camera and microphone-toting reporters, Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo barely finished the Worship Service and immediately tip-toed his way out of the Golden 1 Center. He didn’t even watch the program prepared by the brethren. He just stayed long enough for the suck-up Ministers in the pulpit to kiss his hand after officiating the worship service. I guess it’s already an EVM-thing just like when Bro. Glicerio B. “Jun” Santos Jr. would always kiss his hand in public for everyone to see and imitate.

So from Sacramento, EVM and his band of robbers, I mean, brothers, on board their Chartered plane, flew back to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, relaxed for a bit thanks to their hotel time-shares, maybe did some shopping, and maybe played the slot machines. Oh my, poor Executive Minister, tired and exhausted and without rest, always toiling and laboring for the sake of the church.

After such laborious time in Reno, the Airbus A330 again took to the skies and traversed its destination to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.

And while the Airbus A330 sits idly by in its parking space and burns thousands of dollars by the hour in McCarran International Airport, Bro. Eduardo Manalo and his whole entourage again boarded a chartered plane to Oxnard-Ventura Airport to officiate the (RE)dedication of the newly renovated chapel in the Locale of Oxnard.

So what’s so off about this image? Well EVM increases his statistics by counting re-dedication of renovated chapels that are now being re-offered to God. Next thing you know, when a light bulb is replaced, EVM will be rushing to re-dedicate the whole chapel again.

I mean being joyous and proud that your chapel has been renovated and upgraded is one thing, but over-dramatizing it with so many hooplas just to suck up to EVM, is another. Just look at this picture… not a single praise and glory was given to God and our Lord Jesus Christ, only repetitive, idolatrous reverence to none other than EVM.

One wonders why the Security is so tight. Is EVM so afraid that something bad might happen to him, he relies so much on the security that the technology of a metal detector can provide? Is this an admittance that God is unable to save him because God has left his side? Next thing we’ll see is a clear bullet-proof box encasing him on the pulpit. Oh, the foolishness and vanity of men who inadvertently elevated themselves to heights of deity.

But here’s another clincher: before EVM went to Oxnard, he ordered that an announcement be read in a circular during worship services of Burbank and Glendale that he will no longer be able to officiate the Oxnard (recycled) chapel re-dedication, instead, Bro. Glicerio B. “Jun” Santos Jr. will be the one to officiate the worship service. This was their decoy and misdirection. But such misinformation confused even the members and while the goons felt so proud of themselves thinking that they have outsmarted the defenders, it only proved how afraid they are of the very small Remnant and the possibility of us exercising our right to assemble in a peaceful vigil. As the magnificent EVM emerged from the horizon to the glee and applause of the fanatics and the kiss-**ses, they were actually nervously anticipating the presence of the media as well that’s why Bro. Dino Bunag and his co-Ministers were so anxious to find out what were the Defenders up to, days before the dedication. So they leveled-up with metal detectors, surveillance cameras, watchers and spotters, placards and tarps (to cover the sight of the fragile EVM as his convoy enters and leaves the compound). I guess the suspense caused them a lot of hair loss. Ooopsss, sorry!

Next stop, the chapel dedication of the Locale of Henderson.

Let’s hope and pray that they finish constructing the chapel in time for EVM’s arrival or else heads will roll again. So here went lawyer in shining armor, Bro. Rommel San Pedro and his brother, Joel San Pedro and met some members and officers of Henderson Locale and gave their awe-inspiring speech: “He is coming next week! If you want him to personally dedicate your chapel, you must finish it by Wednesday!” (slow clap) That’s how much pressure is put on the poor brethren and out of the goodness of their heart and out of their faith, they obey without complaining and sadly, without thinking. They were even coerced (without knowing it) to give it all, monetarily and materially, supplies and free labor, that’s aside from the Special Offerings they already gave and about to give at the dedication.  How about that! Triple dipper crooks! And the banners and posters of thanks go to…drum roll please…no other than “Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo, thank you for visiting our congregation and giving us a newly constructed or newly repaired house of worship, dedicated or re-dedicated for your honor and glory. Thank you very much po!” Forget God and Christ…

Yes, Bro. Rommel and Bro. Joel, Defenders were there during your little meeting with the Brethren. But don’t waste your time looking for us anymore, because you should know by now that there are those who protest your corrupt ways silently inside and amongst you. They are everywhere, aware of the truth which will always surface no matter how much you cover it up.

You see Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo and his Council Ministers and cohorts are only fooling themselves by thinking that the small Remnants are the only ones they have expelled from the synagogues. There are way much more who are no longer blind. They see you, they know what you have been doing, and they feel you. They are in every District, every Locale, every Area, every Group, every Leadership Officers, every Finance Committee, every SCAN organization, every Christian Family Organization, every household… they are EVERYWHERE.

You may be able to run and hide now… but not FOREVER. And at every step of the way, a Silent Defender is waiting for you, patiently waiting, until the moment when God will empower them to expose you and your cohorts and they too will be silent no more.

The time will come when the crooked and corrupt leaders of the OWE organization will lose control and scatter about as Bro. Eraño G. Manalo foretold. Money and wealth that is ill-gotten from the sacred offerings in the church will not last nor sustain you forever.

May our Almighty God’s love and power sustain the small Remnant even through the most severe testing of our faith.  Trust in God ever more my dear brethren and continue to practice love towards our neighbors and fellow men, judging no one, but expose evil as a sign of love. Pray for those who persecute us and bless our enemies that they may see in us how Christ and God want their true disciples to be.
