Why is church seeking donations door to door?
-
hee hee... means I really bochap kind, never bother me to notice this type of things (I don't even bother if my wife got put in offering or not, so not to talk about other people)Originally posted by Icemoon:it is not pretend but to make your neighbors feel better.
increase everyone's morale.
at least if they see pple donating, they know the church is doing well.

orh this ar..
i received 2 emails from chc, roughly similar content.Dear Friend:
The CHC Management Board has sent the following response to The Straits
Times and it was published in the December 22, 2006 (Friday) issue.
Dear Sir,
City Harvest Church Not Seeking Public Donations
We refer to the letter "Why is church seeking donations door to door?" (ST,
Dec 20). In the letter, the writer (Mr) Lim Shien Wei said (he) was
approached at home for a donation by someone claiming to be from City
Harvest Church.
Firstly, we wish to thank (Mr) Lim for bringing this incident to our
attention. We would like to inform (Mr) Lim, your readers and other members
of the public that from its inception, City Harvest Church has never
solicited funds from the public, has never gone "door to door" to solicit
funds, and has never authorized anyone to do so on our behalf. The vast
majority of the Church's income comes from voluntary donations made by our
own Church members.
As a church, we take such misrepresentations very seriously, and we would be
most grateful if (Mr) Lim can contact us to provide more details in order to
facilitate our investigation into the matter. Should the need arise, we may
also refer the matter to the police for further investigation as well.
Members of the public should verify the identity of any person(s) seeking
donations in the name of City Harvest Church, or for that matter any other
charitable organization, as there could be some who may be taking advantage
of the spirit of generosity during the Christmas season.
In the event of a recurrence of such similar solicitations in the name of
City Harvest Church, we would advise your readers and members of the public
to obtain the name, personal particulars and contact numbers of such
person(s), and to contact us immediately either on our hotline at 6737-6266
or via email to [email protected].
Finally, we would like to wish your readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
Yours sincerely,
CHC Management Board 2006/7 -

OOh?Originally posted by CyNdI)4.eVa:i went to an adult service b4. when i say adult, i dun mean anything porno. i mean a service for grown-ups. when they were passing the donation pouch around and i passed it on without donating. ppl were staring at me like i shouldn't be in that church. ccb.
So they have changed their way of giving tithes? Tithe=a tax paid to the church> quote from The Time Chambers Dictionary
They used to issue envelopes to people who attend their service.
And,members have to give 10 percent of their income to the church,as an offering. -
Hiaz.. y need donation .. i tot go to church is all free will .. y need to donate ..
it up to one will to donate ... they shld reconsider their member thinking .. never donate mean you are bad ... that not the way lol .. one donation shld come from the heart.. if you got no money to donate also cant force the right ...
somemore they shld nt even give the look at you lol .. poor thing to those out there .. i rather to go to a catholic church .. you can give any amount or nothing .. it up to u .. and no need 10% !!! of your salary -.-
y need 10% of your salary -.-
where the $$ go ??? O_o
buy more land .. -
People, one think we have to be clear before moving on in this thread is that.
CHC does not advocate or in anyway involved in this incident or any incidents regarding Donations.
So let's not make that church look bad, or anymore worse than it is.
Cheers -
just rmb,
places hu seek donations are bullshit.
is we donate by out free will, nt by them forcing us. -
some of you guys should judge things only if you have experienced things first hand....i was a christian years ago and i don't give everytime the bag comes round to me and no one ever gave me the dirty look....it would also be stupid for a church to risk itself by asking doing door to door donations.....
