WORST CHRISTIANS (The Rocky Layer)
Ed Jimenez of Asian Development Bank said sometime ago, “For the sake of your business and your God, kailangan makapal ang mukha mo. (For the sake of your business and your God, your face has to be thick.)” Tito Ed is somebody who tells you where you are at something, shares time to mentor you, and sends you occasional greetings that are anti-aging. Yet, he is also the type who says whatever on mind to the extent that sometimes somebody walks out.
Here, I’m going to show how his belief makes it so true not just in business but in life as well.
Mr. ¾. This guy happens to be the official coordinator of a business-type ministry in a church I attended in Quezon City. He seemed to be nice at first till later things became different. While we were eating at Kimono Ken one evening with some church people, he asked me if I was into computers. My answer was something like, ‘Yes, I do a lot of research and write.’ Then he said it would be good because his friend trains folks for Odesk. I inquired what the training was going to be about, and he told me, I would just be trained for a day and could start earning. He added, the payment would be sent to “Sir blah blah’s account (his friend’s)” and I would just be given a part of no particular percentage.
Conclusion: Firstly, when we meet at religious organizations, we become Family. That’s why we mostly do manos to the elders. The only time we can call anyone sir/madam is when we are in a civic environment or an employment. We don’t have to call this guy, sir, as not only that we’re in church and he’s not our superior/customer (in Filipino culture), but is too just about 15 years older than I do. Wah, he flatters himself around us younger ones. What do we do, hire a prosthetic artist to draw lines on our hands for him to not outsmart us? He’s better off as “kuya”. You know fellas, when I worked with an American company, I had a colleague who was 67-year-old, but we were only calling him by first name but that didn’t mean we were disrespecting our seniors and not taking our job seriously. We loved him all the same. No one cared if we dressed casually on a Monday and spoke our minds out. Now, if Mr. ¾ is “Christian” and insisting to be addressed as “sir,” then we suggest he goes to France, be a King, and we give him that. Lastly, Odesk is a website for all sorts of freelancers of different walks of life. From there, “we” lance and are “free”. So, none to be “trained” by “sir”. If we wanna earn extra, we sign up there directly, take some assignments, and ask foreign customers to pay us through PayPal. And hey, kids don’t lie.
The Old-school Recorder. This is a Christian I know who embarrasses anybody who reigns on his parade and won’t mind to cuss in public. He once started a seminar with an introduction, “I am a proud member of Iglesia Ni Kristo.” We respect religions, generally. I believe if it’s of Christ, nobody can be that certain of a religion as we Christians read same versions of Bible. I believe it depends on how much we depend on its contents and the application of what we read. Christianity shouldn’t talk much over groups. In old times, we didn’t have those names, though. Yes, no one’s exactly like Christ, but Jesus was never a medical doctor who sold geckos underground.
Ms. Zobel de Ayala-wanna-be. O, she was my group leader in a church somewhere in the Metro South. I was with her for more or less than a year—but I learned none from her. She wasn’t soothing. I always felt as though I’d be having a nervous breakdown with her. When you told her your thoughts of a biblical scripture, she would underhandedly scold you and punch her opinion on you. You couldn’t even rely on her for spiritual support in times of trouble because all she advised, “Read your bible.” She’d consult 3-4 clueless leaders of your personal issue till it circulates to everybody till it turns out to be a gossip till it sets you miles apart. Within that period of time, I couldn’t be confident to go through water baptism.
Conclusion: She said I was the 2nd person to be grouped with her by that church. Alright. But I say, if she felt in herself that she’s not ready to lead big-time yet, would that injure the pride to at least say, “I’d refer you to somebody who could handle you better” ? Hundreds or even thousands of people decide to take Jesus seriously everyday and come from shattered hearts the reason why they find comfort in a church. If you’re a “leader”, prove it. You are a stranger to a person you meet in there no matter how “active” you are. People don’t travel from pole to pole and chill at Coffee Bean for 3 hours and just laugh away. If you can’t take the accountability, who then calls you a leader? How would someone be nice if you were abrasive and provocative? Quit leading. Stop politicking. Go to Tabon Cave, and there perhaps you find enlightenment.
Mr. Sinto-sinto. He seriously told me this, “Just a brotherly advice, you’re not going to heaven because you act like a guy.” I shared this to friends and they all laughed their bellies out. Honestly, what he said scared the daylights out of me. I pondered it for like 2 days. It hurt, you know.
Conclusion: God creates us to be who we are. He is in control of all the things and mostly responds to what we do. Sigh. If I would have been girly-girly years back, where would I be at the present? If I used all of my heart, maybe, I’m now breastfeeding babies, begging relatives to lend me money, and fighting over petty matters with a no-direction-in-life partner. I love comfort. If I’m all poised, so conscious of how my kohl eyeliner goes, what happens? Things start to fall because we’re freaking careful of what he and she say. And what is this guy’s idea of femininity, wearing skimpy clothes and dancing Macarena??
The Premature Baby. Hey, here’s a Christian who attentively attends ministries, Bible studies, services,etc. But here’s the catch. For 2 years of her Christianity, she committed pre-marital sex with men. Well just so you know, I care less over things like these as they seem to be normal for many nowadays. However, we find it stinging to the ears to hear folks mentioning the name of Christ, several times a day, yet their ways speak otherwise. She blames the church when her last boyfriend dumped her, accuses these guys as though they have raped her, and scandalizes everyone in church (including me) for benevolence fund to cover the moral damages. These guys are active members.
Conclusion: She’s in her 30s already. One of these guys was a PA of a known film director in the Philippines but has now lied low in making films. So he’s a PA who mainly depends on his boss for income. Did she think he could support her if he couldn’t even spend Php300 for a Mcdo meal? We could now understand why most men stereotype women to be all money. I now get why relationships are so shallow nowadays. Even I would run away from a person like this. She finished broadcasting in a nice university here. She’s pretty. Why instead of gold digging, make good use of what you’ve studied to help yourself somehow? Those men might not have been able to do it if she didn’t invite any to hang out at her apartment for even just a minute. And, they were not just men… they became her boyfriends! Sigh. It was both their mistake. If those guys said they were Christians they should have somehow remembered what they were doing.
La Tribu. These 3 girls were my churchmates for about a year. They were the one I spent time to give gifts, laugh and read Bible and watch a movie with. BUT I did not receive any New Year greeting.
Conclusion: You know what they are. I don’t tell you because the answer is so there. Perhaps you have experienced it as well. Does that mean you’re mean to have experienced that, or there are just people who simply reveal themselves that way? How do you think that leaves a “friend” feeling? Because we are guilty about this. We get cocky about ourselves, that we want people to greet us first. I didn’t want to be the one greeting first because I wanted to see a glimpse of who real people were. I believe I’m not the sensitive who is out of context. Everybody gets sensitive of himself. I remember Tatay Max my 71-year-old colleague here. I ignored replying to his text message one afternoon because of laziness. You know what happened? He didn’t speak to me at the office for a week! See, my simple ignoring resulted into a week of wonder why I kept on saying Hello to him and getting no Hellos back (as if he wasn’t seeing me). So back to La Tribu and me? When we met again for a chance meeting at Pizza Hut, there they greeted me their “Happy New Year” but all I had for them was my nod and smirk. I didn’t say anything. I don’t play games like that. It was the last time I would want to hear from them. You know, I won’t be heard saying I miss somebody if I don’t really. If in places I can’t avoid that, I try to be civil. One question, one answer.
Bling-bling. Wow, the psychic. I met her personally a couple of years then when I was transitioning from occult to Christianity. She is heard on the radio in wee hours of the morning. Initially, she would tell anyone she believes in God. But, she is Not aware of God’s gender. She said, nobody truly knows. Her reception area has different idols including that of St. Benedict (that is “marketed” to shoo bad spirits), rose quartz and other related stuff. In addition, she’s not as nice in person as she is on the radio.
Conclusion: It’s clear in the Bible that we cannot serve 2 gods and ask money as payment in return of the help or the “consultation” we render. Popular psychics should have been grateful to media for where they are today. Imagine, celebrities pay Php1,500 or more for a demon-filled answer they don’t know? They make everyone believe they are entertaining and out there to help but truly just offering souls for rankings in that realm. Sometimes, they don’t even realize what they do.
By the way, I always watch a TV show every morning because I like its concept. But if you look at the host, her eyes say she’s lonely. She is very rich, but men didn’t seem to take her seriously. I get sad whenever I remember her. I saw her wearing a natural stone (I think it’s agate) as a pendant around her neck and strictly following feng shui. My prayer is a chance for her to meet at least someone who will give her an attractive Bible to push her to go through the contents. Don’t you know that even yoga and folk dances are of occult? Anyway, I’ll stop here. Ask a pastor instead. They’ll be glad to know you’re interested.
Tootsie Roll. I was accidentally told by this person that she doesn’t like serious conversations which pertain more to silence. After few weeks, she stopped talking to me.
Conclusion: She is still a student. I’ve worked in a corporate environment already. It’s like this. Would you ask a 97-year-old grandma to ride a roller coaster? Of course, you’d try to be considerate. If I don’t talk sense, how would I be taken seriously by the judgmental and critical? Gosh, how would I entertain superficial chats when I’m busy running on a deadline or a meeting? I cannot impose myself on someone who cannot interpret real thoughts into friendly sincerities. Also, at that point, I couldn’t entertain an ignoramus who could not picture how difficult it was to chat on a high uric acid level. I believe I’m not quiet. I just don’t feel like talking and talking and plain talking only to prove my presence in this world. Today that I’m feeling better in terms of health, I still remind me what I can just take on in friendship. If she prefers what she said, well, good for her. I prefer as well to be with buddies who can rather tell me, “Hey, Delegation saves the day.”
These people never heard me tell them those. I am now saying these things because I would not like to be rude. You never heard me drop names—just codes. Those were the words I wish I would have vented to them; wise suggestions I wish I would have given them. I feel sorry that I cared so much to not offend them. I was always in assumption that active church goers were real, nicer, and better. Storing negatives just leaves me betraying my self-confidence. I know I have committed one or two mistakes. But I’ve felt the exhaustion of always adjusting to people. Couldn’t that be two-way? Rick Warren says in his book, Pupose-driven life that, there is no paradise on earth and all things are supposed to be difficult as he believes the real comfort is only to be experienced with Jesus in heaven. I could agree at least. We meet demons everywhere—Hypocrites. I understand if every part of my article sounds negative for you. Because it just does when one cannot strain the points. I disliked conflict. It was what I was stark scared of for years. And it keeps staring at my face and tells me, it is the essence of Wisdom—just how a cayenne pepper spices the soy sauce. We don’t know we want it. I realize… I can’t truly eat my colorful maki without it—that’s called life.
You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he. For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it. -2 Corinthians 10:7-8 NIV
