I was told 10 years ago here, if you want to get rich in the Philippines, become a priest or a government official.... And from experience I can confirm both are true Actually, that's true all over the Pacific islands, Mick. Go to American Samoa and look at the really nice cars the pastors/priests drive and the nice houses where they live, for example. Same thing with the higher up government hacks... Same thing, more or less, in virtually every island group I visited... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the sad thing is here with the Church, deep down the people know it, but are pressured into giving donations for fear of gossip, or being ungodly, religion is the biggest scam on this planet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also an investigation should be conducted of the "group." Maybe it would encourage others to be more honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, maybe it's another one of those classic movies/films?... Like 'Gone with the Wind'?... or 'Casablanca'? But I always seem to see things that I somehow missed before, whenever I watch a classic over again and again. So, maybe we'll need some more of this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
