Thank you, Mr. Greenstreet, you spoke what is in the heart of Ghanaians. Everyone in this world knows NDC hates the truth and would like to hear lies because they are liers. If NDC is really truthful to themselves they will know he spoke the truth and if you ask Ghanaians, I am sure 80% of the people will agree with him. Let N D C come back to their senses and accept the truth and that wopill save this nation

Old Soldier, what is the link between your comment and this article? As old as you claim to be, you should be wiser. BIG FOOL, where is politics in the pastor's article?

I believe you not well in the head. As you keep praising the cripple for insulting and wrongly accusing the president and his vice for corruption without any proof.

Papa Osofo Dr.Opuni-Frimpong,being in a democratic freedom of worship country doesnt meaan anyone should religiously do what pleases him, the citizenery are seroiusly ignorant about so many things, i personally expect the CCoG to make laws and ask the government's approval and enforce it to every Tom, Dick and Harry who claims of preaching a gospel to curtail this menace because a lot of seriouse things are going on in this Country in the name of God.

The hard to swallow truth is that Ghana is a failed state. Criminals have turned themselves into pastors, okokmfours, imams, bishops, men of gods, etc and they are now in charge of the administration of Ghana. They have constituted themselves into doctors, lawyers, police, judges, etc. They have filled the void created by the abdication of the state. When Ghanaians are sick they look for a church not the hospital in the community. When they want to divorce they go to their pastors. They pay their taxes (tithes, offertory etc) to the church & mosque. Cases of theft are sent to Kofi Bonsam's palace or the local imam for settlement. The very weak state is shrinking by the day and something must fill the vacuum!

Sidney, they can be seen as silly if they go back to such a church after that experience. It is the members of the churches who have to learn to stop attending such places for worship. Simply!!!

People are using the name of God to do evil. In this twenty-first century, why should people not visit the hospitals for medical attention when they need it. Ignorant people must be educated about the importance of going to the hospital. The information department, TV stations, FM stations, news papers and other media should preach this gospel to our illeterate folks.

Religion is a social myth which has been used as a social control institution to regulate social behavior of the masses. God and heaven are NOT real. Con men and women have capitalized on the ignorance of the masses to establish financial enterprises called churches to profit off the ignorance of the masses. These mushroom churches in Ghana are filled with people who have social issues; the poor, sick, single, separated, divorced women, unemployed etc. These so - called prophets live rich life-styles at the expense of their suffering "flock". They live in well furnished mansions, drive nice cars and fly first class, dress in fashionable suits and fuck the most beautiful women among the "flock". They are criminals operating subtly under the name of God. It is difficult to convince folks that there is no God because they want go to heaven when they die. The truth is that there is no heaven. Try this trick. Go to any church anywhere in the world and ask the congregation "who will like to go to die and go to heaven right now?". Trust me NOBODY will volunteer to die and go to heaven right then and there. Not even the Rev or pastor will volunteer because heaven is not real

The obosom who gives the pastors powers demand some form of abstinence from the followers. The law as it stands is good enough to deal with these sort of things. Assault is a crime. Obimim could have been prosecuted for stomping on that lady's stomach. Any form of coercion is also a crime. The police should be more proactive, they should use their limited resources wisely by prioritising who and what to target. We all know smoking weed is a crime but does it make sense that obinim was not even invited for questioning whilst kwaw kesse was refused bail for weeks. The point is we don't need a loan to improve every aspect of our lives. Common sense does not attract any interest or repayment

If they go to the hospital, how will the pastors make their money? They want to play spiritual doctors to their following fools while they secretly take their medically prescribed medicines. Going to school is pure "shitto" to them. Can you deceive an educated parishioner? Your answer is as good as mine. Opuni, modern day church is not the same you and I grew up in. It's now an arena infested with devil worshippers who practice the trade of lies and greed. All they care about is their pockets and dicks. Sorry if my last d... word is off the wall because you're a man of God. but, the truth is the truth.

What is happening is in fulfilment of Jesus' prophecy that when the present earthly system is nearing its end Christendom will be full of fake church leaders who will lead their flock astray.Jesus went further to warn such fake church leaders of the severe consequences awaiting them.It is not late for these fake church leaders to change their ways or they will face the wrath of God.

IF IT IS TRUE - IS AN OFFENSE AND THE PASTOR CAN BE CHARGED FOR KIDNAPPING. MR. OPUNI - PLEASE CONTACT THE POLICE FOR ACTION. ALSO, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE HOSPITALS ARE DEAD TRAPS NOW WITH NO DOCTORS AND MEDICINES AND IT IS BETTER FOR PEOPLE TO STAY HOME TRY THEIR THEIR LUCK THAN TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. MR. OPUNI USE YOUR STATUS IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP THE HOSPITALS TO BE PLACES OF HEALTHCARE NOT DEATH DUNGEONS.
