This is a cult, not a church.

It demands to be tax free, to be tolerated by the community it contributes nothing to.

It demands "Religious freedom" while denying others the same rights

Its sole purpose is to make this at the top rich.
In Luke 18:25, Jesus says, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".
According to his bible, Tamaki can not enter heaven,

The we get this

Destiny Church sexual predator groomed and isolated youth group victims, parents demand answers from church hierarchy

Kids are more at risk from the church than from story time with people in drag...as has been proven time and time again across multiple churches.

I still don't get the "Freedom" and "Rights" part of name of this clown's outfit. Shouldn't I be "Free" to send my kids to one of these shows, if I choose to? Isn't it my "Right" to choose what's best for my kids, not what he thinks is best for my kids?

I think what annoys me the most is when the "EFTPostle" (heh) says something like he is "speaking for all New Zealanders". Sorry, Briaaaaaaaan, you do not speak for me 🙄

And yes, you're right, it is a cult, definitely not a church.

Good job, I hope the police throw the book at these pathetic, attention-seeking, insecure losers.

And now it turns out that a teenager was allegedly assaulted by Tamaki's thugs yesterday. I bet he'll play the victim and deflect like he always does and say he "doesn't know the person" who was doing the assault 🙄

Him and his nutty little group are insecure and pathetic 😡

And there is a petition I have been directing people to rather than the Change.org one. As this one I think is the proper path to follow.

Petition of Andrew Aleman: Remove charitable status from Destiny Church

I sure as hell hope that guy isn't allowed on air again, ever - and I sure as hell wouldn't want that other guy anywhere near my kids, as full of hate as they both are.

And yes, Destiny's charitable status should be fully removed, doing this kind of stunt isn't something that I think warrants the acts of a "charity".

Brian Tamaki's end game?

“I want our country to return to its most golden days or era in the late 50s and 60s when 90% of the country was Christian and we had 1% unemployment. We had no poverty and we basically were doing well and were the second richest country in the world behind America.”

He wants a ban on Sunday trading with people attending church instead. He wants the restoration of the “generational family” where a female mum and a male dad raise their kids who are taught firmly Christian values. And decision-makers are in his sights too.

“I want to get rid of woke politicians, political parties, councils and any leadership in communities who are into this woke sort of stuff like anti-family, anti-Christian values, basically,” says Tamaki.

I wasn't even alive in the 50s or the 60s, but were things really like that here then? As to the rest of his comments (especially the religious ones), I'll exercise my "freedoms" (of choice) and "rights" (to be non-religious), and say "no thanks". Oh, and "get stuffed" as well.

NZ did well because the UK was buying everything we grew, meat, wool, butter, cheese.

We had a highly protected economy, if you bought a new car and year later you could sell it for more than you paid for it, cars were primarily UK brands

So many jobs were labour intensive, roading, rail, telecoms, power...all used very large teams of labourers, heavy machinery was not common, in some cases it was just ex military vehicles hacked for civilian purposes. We were still "breaking in" a lot of rural land, again back breaking manual work.

Coal was king, smog was rampant in some communities.

Cigarettes were cheap , healthcare much simpler, you would die of illnesses that are treatable today.

Disabled were put in asylums, out of sight, out of mind.

There was no ACC

ONE TV channel, the NZBC, later to be renamed Channel 1

Asbestos was fine, as was 2-4-5-T and other pesticides

Dental health was poor, no fluoride , it was common for people to get all their teeth removed when they were 40 and have dentures.

Being caned at school for being left-handed was common , as it was for speaking Maori at school

Divorse was no common because women were financially trapped in violent relationships and solo mums were heavily scorned back then too.

Mind you, evangelical churches did not exist here in NZ at that stage, so there is a plus

Maori and Pacific peoples knew their place - out of sight and out of mind. Sorry , no room for BT and his ilk. Would gave been dawn raids and deportations .

60 % income tax, not much left for tithe.

Meat n 3 vege for dinner, none of the marvellous variety we have now.

Bah humbug to the 60's.
