Tuesday, October 15, 2024 -An X user with the handle, @kingdavidgift_ has revealed the reason why he stopped going to church.
According to him, he was a zealous church drummer
for years at his church before his fallout with religion.
He explained that it all started after he sought the support of
the church to pay for his JAMB form.
His words:
“Asked my pastors to help me with money so I can
pick Jamb Form years ago, and they said they will get back to me. the church
wasn’t small, a zonal headquarter. I was the only drummer, started drumming
from teens department and was drumming for the main church at 16.
2 years after WAEC I decided to take JAMB but no cash, I went to the
church, they said “we will get back to you”. After 3 Sundays they gave me 1,500
and said they don’t have money. That’s what the parish pastor said and the rest
of the pastors smiled in agreement.
I wasn’t doing any work, the church wasn’t paying me, I don’t miss any
church activity or program that requires me to be there, even the ones that
don’t require my presence. I dey there. And this church did not pay my
transport ones, buy me food or water ones.
2020 they stole some of the church equipment, equalizer and the mic, the
church accused I and the keyboardist(both of us were teens when we started
playing, he is my close) We wanted to stop playing, but My Mom said we
shouldn’t.
Last quarter of 2020 my mom fell sick and almost had stroke,
September-November I was sleeping in the hospital, nobody called or visited,
including the choristers, just my friend the keyboardist. And I’d still go to
church on Sundays to play.
After the cross over to 2021 and first Sunday, I stopped playing drums
and I haven’t played since then.
I do all my worship online, in my house.
After I and my friend(the keyboardist) left, they got a new drummer and
keyboardist.
They pay them every Sunday now.”
