Macedonian Church Dispute in Australia

[Mikail]

Prolet, What some pensioners, and I stress, some pensioners, choose to do with their money is their own business. It has nothing to do with me, with you, nor with Petre.

For all those who like to believe the Petre propaganda that he says nothing and does nothing to keep our community divided, I would say watch this http://sitel.com.mk/video/makedonija...skata-eparhija.

One may say he has said nothing wrong by this. Well, guess again!

How dare he defame every single pensioner in our community like that.

And Prolet, stop apologising for Petar, OK.

[Soldier of Macedon]

Isn't it odd (or in character for this fool) that Petar is more concerned with money than with the status of the MOC and other pertinent issues? All he sees are $$$ signs when he comes here, the useless snake.

[Mikail]

Not only that SoM. He spends so much money on useless junkets to Australia, and when he gets back to Macedonia, all he does is criticise us back here. What do our fellow Macedonians think of us over here thanks to this charlatan?

[Prolet]

SOM, I seem to be good friends with everybody these days according to yourself LOL

Mikail, I dont think the penzioneri are going to TAB Sports betting areas, I think Bishop Petar is concerned that the Penzioneri are going from the Churches directly to the Casinos where they get a free ruchek there. You're right not all the Penzioneri do that.

SOM, Speaking of Bishop Petar coming to Australia, who pays for his trips,accommodation, transport etc etc?? Od kade mu se parite?

[Soldier of Macedon]

Prolet, let me know the next time he's coming, you can introduce us.

[Prolet]

SOM, I doubt he will come again this year but if he does i'll hear about it thats for sure.

[Soldier of Macedon]

I know that you'll hear about it.

[Mikail]

The community pays for his jaunts all around the world. Who do you think pays for it? Why are you still apologising for him Prolet?

[Prolet]

Mikail, Im not a representative of the church so therefore i cant comment on him behalf, as the head bishop of our community, You'd expect him to say things like dont gamble,dont take drugs, dont steal,dont kill etc

He is there to preach to the people remember?

[Soldier of Macedon]

He should take his own advice.

[Mikail]

Well then stop apologising on his behalf then. Did you not see that in my first post?

[Rogi]

Speaking of Macedonian passports, who here applied for, and who here didn't apply, and who here already has, a new Macedonian biometric passport?

As for the topic, at the risk of being accused of being an apologist for anyone, which I am not, has anyone considered the Christian argument* in all of this as a potential reasoning behind the statement?



Note: Whilst mentioning the Christian argument against gambling, did you know the bible doesn't say anything about avoiding gambling? It does however mention, as sins, those usual motivations behind gambling.

[Soldier of Macedon]

Have you considered the Christian argument with regard to Petar's thievery?

[Mikail]

I for one know of a few Macedonian pensioners who may take a group bus trip to the casino occasionally. Not to gamble.To have a day out and to get a cheap lunch.

Does that constitute a 'sin' as such that Petar has to publicly slur the entire Macedonian pensioners community?

Disgraceful. I can see more Macedonians deserting the Petar clan as a result of this.

[Prolet]

I got my biometric passport when i was in Stari Kraj before the Schengen Zid fell down.
