Why the Destiny Church walkout?

By Milton

Brian is asking people to go without, but is he going without himself? Howe much is Brian Paid. Have you seen the Church Cars - very expensive Audi's. 'Isn't this a case of Do what I say...not do what I do?' You church goers have to do without, while I Brian Tamaki and family live in the lap of luxury. And don't forget to get me those presents on My Birthday, Or Richard "The Enforcer" my left hand man and thug will come and deal with you in a very un-christian like manner.

we are all individuals here and whatever we do are our own choices so if we choose to follow brian tamaki and other so called rollmodels that aren't making good impressions then we're the suckers!

Thank you WillieFan for that, insightful, wrong but insightful. It is very disappointing that you have cleverly missed out one person in your list...good old Hone the biggest racist of them all. How did you manage that? Must have been those old rose tinted glasses that people like you tend to wear. This has nothing to do with race – it has everything to do with practising what you preach and in the orange ones case that is so far from what you would expect from a so called man of god. The simple and easy way to end this issue and others that will most certainly come along is this. Earn 1 million a year, great enjoy yourself, live in a nice house, have all the toys you want, just pay tax on your earnings, provide a full account of where the charitable funds go. End of story.

Some of us in South Auckland are sick of the racists who continualy attack Brian Tamaki. You are the same racists who continually attack Tariana Turia, Peter Sharples & Willie Jackson. People who lead organisations, unlike you losers! As soon as they put a pro-maori view, you abuse them and insult them as you have done in your emails. Your just lucky that our people cant be bothered engaging in email wars, otherwise there would be a heap of people supporting our Maori views. JT fan you love him because he kicks Maoris, probably just like you & other JT fans. We have spoken to Willie about Brian, and while he doesnt support much of his life style, he supports what he is doing to turn around all our negative statistics. What the hell is wrong with that? Get off Tamaki's back and support Willie who has been supporting his people for many years now, not like you critics who do nothing but write emails, because you have nothing else in your miserable lives to do.

Bethany.. to borrow a borrowed a line or two from your rag,tamaki is a wolf and nothing else,and in that there is an honsety,like it or not.The cheesy sheep who you are so eagerly sucked in by havent the honesty of tamaki to live up to who they are,that being wolves in hiding.
The house of david,didnt god do the deed,more like the house of cockuld.And we should not commit adultery.

Walkout was due to greed. plain and simple.

as i compare my church pastors to brian tamaki i cant help but see a huge difference. my pastors are relaxed, dedicated to the members,focus on the members care and relationship with christ and the father, our cell groups, worship groups, mens and womens and youth groups are all flowing with no domination or control.we have a school, we have all the things that require money to assist them, we get by very well without the matter of giving being indoctrinated on a weekly basis. Brian tamaki appears to me as a stressed out control freak who uses too much botox. He must be in every detail, not trusting god for his flock but rather putting his own people in every area of the church. i seriously doubt that his church is for the fathers glory at all.Brian remember king saul he tried building up for himself and his family his own personal kingdom within gods kingdom, eventually he and his family lost the kingdom to David.My pastors dont wear designer suits or dye and straighten their hair, and when they open their mouths they dont end up on national t.v.defending themselves. i think people in brians church have to go before god and ask for wisdom, from the outside looking in brian tamaki appears to be a bussiness man looking after his and his own, not god or gods own.
