An Overview Of Efforts Made To See The HOPCC Exposed

By Linda Cantrell


The world is home to many religions and belief systems. There are numerous churches that all follow their own doctrine. In some cases the differences between churches are very small but in some cases they are fundamental. Numerous sects have also sprung up and some of them believe that their way is the only way to salvation. Such sects are often targeted by both other churches and by the general public. At present, many critics are doing everything they can to see the HOPCC exposed.

Detractors of the House of Prayer church are adamant in their belief that this church is nothing but a scam to strip members of their assets are to enrich the officials of the church, all done in the name of God and with the promise of life eternal. Critics are vocal and they use the internet and social media to warn the general public against this church.

One of the main criticisms against the House of Prayer is that they recruit members with false promises and outright lies. Detractors say that prospective members are promised that the church will look after them in all ways and that members are focused on helping each other. Members are also told that the teachings of the church are evangelical in nature and that it is based upon the gospels.

Critics say that as soon as they join the church, pressure is applied to coerce them in donating their worldly assets to the church. Some claim that they even had to donate their homes and others say they were forced to resign their everyday jobs. Apparently, the church policy is that the belongings of one member are the belongings of all.

Another serious allegation against the church is that they break up families. Some opponents say that the church indoctrinate young people, convincing them that their salvation can be found only in the church and that they need to shun their worldly families in the process. Several parents testify that their children have severed ties with them, citing the teachings of the church as the reason.

The House of Prayer seminary is also under attack. According the church students and staff at the faculty are encouraged to close themselves from all worldly influences in order to achieve spiritual growth. Critics say that by denying the students and staff the ability to own possessions or earn an income the church is simply making sure that those unfortunate people can be manipulated at will.

There have been several unsuccessful attempts to convince various authorities to investigate the church. It seems that there is not sufficient evidence that points to crimes being committed or laws flaunted. So far the authorities have maintained a hands off approach, maintaining that membership is voluntary and that it is not against the law to donate assets to a church or for the church to own assets.

The House of Prayer Christian Church has not answered allegations against it formally. The have published a number of letters and testimonials on their website, all very positive and full of praise for the work the church has done. The church denies that it does not allow members to own assets or that they require members to donate their assets to the church.

Bobby Jain Credit Suisse: How Are Nintendo's Profits?

By Rob Sutter When looking at the big video game companies we all know and love, Nintendo does not seem to have as much awareness to consider.
