Charice Pempenco was a member of Iglesia ni Cristo?

There was an unconfirmed report that Charice Pempenco (an International singer), her mother, and his father, were all members of the INC.

However, Charice and her mother, stopped attending the INC services, when her father turned violent on them due to excessive use of ILLEGAL DRUGS?

Also, after converting to the Catholic Faith, the INC kept on asking Charice to pay the INC ..."for past membership."

Is this true?

Charice is an offered INC when she was still a baby. But she has never been baptized. It is true that her parents are INC members before. It is confirmed that her mother, once a catholic then convert to INC maybe because for the marriage, convert herself with her daughter to Catholicism again. Her father might be an expelled member of the church because INC won't allow any member who disregard their family and faith.

INC had no problem with her deadbeat dad beating and choking her mother with a hammer for leaving the cult. To this day she and her mother are in fear of their lives from this radical cult. Needless to say she won't be performing in the new dome.

Religion has nothing to do with being abusive. It has something to do with people's individual behavior. Too many Religious sectors, priest, Pastors, commit crimes like abused children sexually, harass children sexually, the pastor who commit extra marital affair, pastor who impregnated too many innocent women, pastor who has too many mistresses, blah blah. Just like you, you sounded like you know everything what your God tells you to do, but did you obey all those commandments that he gave you? yes, you knew everything but the way you deliver words of God in here doesn't sound like you are. your mouth full of shit all the time. You curse all Filipino people of being what they are, you humiliate Filipino people , you cock-roaching, rattying them, as if they owe you your life! Get straight man, that's why the world is full of hatred because the way people say something. Your mouth, your tongue, it's really easy to get in troubles. You may hear something you're not supposed to hear, or see something you're not supposed to see. your feet can take you to places you're not supposed to go and your hands can help you do things you're not supposed to do. But of all that you can get you into trouble- your eyes, your ears, your hands, and your feet- the one to watch out for is YOUR TONGUE. it creates another problems too. Just as it is hard to get the feathers back into the pillow and the toothpaste back into the tube, so it is hard to get a word spoken hastily or in anger off the record. Once it's said, it's said. It is so much easier to explode and shoot off your mouth than to keep quilt or respond with a soft answer that will help to calm the anger. Your TONGUE can be used to stir up strife between people .

But in the case of Charice, INC had a big, big role in the violent-drug dependence status of Charice's father. The point is: prior to their SEPARATION from their violent father, Racquel, her husband, and her husband's mother, had a RECONCILIATION meeting with the INC Pastor. They both signed their amicable agreement. But Charice's father did not improve and become more VIOLENT as the years went by. Finally, after five years of being a battered wife, with bloodied forehead, and was being choked... while her husband holding a hammer, they finally parted their ways. For five long years, Charice's father had NOT been EXPELLED nor EXCOMMUNICATED from the INC, for being a BAD FATHER and a DRUG ADDICT. Now... you are CLAIMING, he was expelled from INC? When? And how did you know that information, that he was indeed EXPELLED from INC? You are like a Military officer... every time their soldier commits a crime, they would readily disowned their errant soldier by saying...that soldier hss been AWOL for almost a month.

JLK you contradicted yourself. If Charice was an INC offered child (as a HANDOG) you cannot be considered as a "HANDOG" without being BAPTIZED.
If she was not a baptized member of INC as you claimed to be, HOW COME ... I HAVE READ IN THE INTERNET that CHARICE was being ASKED TO PAY her financial contributions with the INC ... "FOR PAST MEMBERSHIP?"
Is this true? That until now, the INC has been chasing Charice (despite of her being converted to Catholism)... to make her pay her UNPAID past financial contributions for her (alleged) past membership with the INC?

If this is true...then, I can say... INC is a CRUEL Cult and should be AVOIDED FOREVER.

Bravo very very VERY well said!

I really commiserate to the plight of Charice Pempenco. Some of the fanatic INC members have launched a concerted effort to DEFAME Charice... by claiming that she left INC due to "FAME" and "MONEY"! The message they are trying to drive at is, CHARICE IS NOW BIG-HEADED DUE TO FAME AND MONEY... that she had forgotten the INC which (allegedly) NURTURED her to be a good child. What a baseless ... worthless claim....!

The glaring fact, however, is: some of the business-minded INC members are the ones CHASING... WOOING Charice because of MONEY... MILLIONS of pesos which they could milk from Charice through ... various form of "offerings" disguised as follows:

- GOD's MESSAGE OFFERINGS
- "LAGAK" (fixed deposit that cannot be ENCASHED)- "TANGING HANDUGAN" (special offerings)
- "PASASALAMAT" (twice a year - the bigger the
amount, the better)(thanksgivings)
- Addittional "PASASALAMAT" (more money for
additional thanksgivings);
- and other forms of "Offerings".

Can you imagine that...you have to pay for GOD's MESSAGE? And the higher the amount you give in the "offerings", the better ..., because your name will be listed in the 'No.1 spot'... in the List of Givers?

Some of INC fanatics are craving... wooing Charice back to the INC fold, because her re-membership with the INC Cult would give them GOOD PUBLICITY... and of course, would ATTRACT more members (which could be translated to more money from "offerings").!!!

See... how DEVILISH their motives are? Their religious rituals seemed to me, revolved only around on "MONEY, MONEY... AND MORE MONEY!"

Religion is indeed a good business in the Philippines - "TAX FREE" and free from BIR Tax Collections Agents' harassment!

Wow so they publicly praise top donating members??
Crazy

....little spinner......

If you want to be listed as Number-One-Giver in the "Talaan ng LAGAK sa PASASALAMAT" (List of Thanksgivings Givers), you have to give MILLIONS OF PESOS because "INC"-MILLIONAIRE-ME MBERS would not just allow other members to DISLODGE them from being "No. 1-Lagak-Giver".!!! If the incumbent No.1 Giver was Dislodged from being No. 1, he can still reclaim his No.1 spot in the "List" in the next KARAGDAGANG PASASALAMAT (Additional Thanksgivings). This time, the millionaire who wanted to reclaim his No.1 Spot, has to give more money to "INC"( this is like the fund-raising Beauty Contest in Barangy level, kahit pangit basta maraming Tickets na nabenta,PANALO). This modus operandi of INC is good for milking the rich members but bad to the poor INC members because they would always find their names at the bottom-lines.

BIR should undergo training with INC!!!
good at collections and runs after past dues.
How about the beggars? Don't the INC want to save their souls?

The D'X-MAN TV Program at Ch. 37, UNTV, which has been aired daily, revealed that while they were still members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, they actually witnessed the EXCOMMUNICATION of an INC Member... for BEGGING in the streets, in order to meet his "offerings, lagak, and abuluyan" financial obligations. Another ground cited was that said member could not afford to buy/wear all WHITE CLOTHES during religious gathering(Pagsamba and Pagkakatipon).

Again... is the salvation in the "INC" mainly grounded on MONEY?

Thanks a lot for your clarification. Frankly, I really don't know what those phase meant. Now... I know.

. Now I know why INC endorsed Chavit Singson. He is a certified wife beater, and he is good at it too. There you go Elias, the answer we have been looking for.

I see in the internet that Chavit Singson had a picture of the sex organ of the man whom he caught having illicit sexual relation with his (Singson's)lover. The man was lucky... he was not killed but his organ was cut by attending doctors because it was MAULED BLACK AND BLUE... AND BEYOND RECOGNITION! It appeared, Singson enjoyed keeping said picture in his wallet, and showing it to his close friends as a source of laughter during get-together party! And guessing game, too, as to the owner of said Sex Organ.

wow image model of INC!

"Pepeng Agimat", if by chance you meet Chavit... you ask him about the said picture, and surely, he would readily & proudly... show it to you!

Are you sure that guy wasn't an INC minister?
