In the U.S. ALL religious organizations even the Roman Catholic Church must abide by federal laws including payment of taxes & labor laws.
The Sept. 18, 2014 referendum in Scotland should remind all Filipinos that our parents were not consulted when known Japanese collaborator Manuel A. Roxas sought independence that the U.S. Senate IRRESPONSIBLY AND PREMATURELY GRANTED by the ratification of the 1946 Treaty of Manila on 22 Oct. 1946.
On Nov. 6, 2012 a referendum was held in Puerto Rico and only a tiny 6 percent of Puerto Ricans voted for independence.
Jose Ramos who was against independence explained: “I prefer that the United States helps us, because to stand on our own two feet, no,” said the father of three. “I don’t want this to become a republic. That scares me.”

Now watch these three men who believe they are Jesus Christ:
First is the one in Russia, a former traffic cop in Siberia named Sergei Torop. He lives in the rural area of Siberia. He has about 5,000 followers.
Second is David Shayler of England who has practically no support and thus lives in the squatters area outside London.
The third and most successful self-proclaimed Jesus Christ is Apollo Carreón Quiboloy of the Philippines who claims to have millions of poor followers, lives in a mansion and owns a private jet!
Sergei Torop, Vissarion, (the teacher) may have the looks of Jesus Christ but Quiboloy the Pinoy has the mansion and private jet in a Third World country.
Of these three the most secured Jesus Christ is the one in the Philippines. He is untouchable because if his church activities is investigated, so would the Roman Catholic Clergy.
