I never actually thought so, but so many of them were so Amway in their defence of it I didn't have the heart not to ridicule them. I always thought it was a rather well paid way to make some side money or even main money, and it was nice that Japanese skills paid off. It was the recruiters I could never quite stomach. They were odious slime.

But they do say Nise-Bokushi. I still think it's a sacrilege. If I remember, that's Commandment #2. All the kiddy fiddlers and charlatans aside, being a man of god is a vocation, not a side gig. And again, I don't judge. My BebeJeeezus didn't throw stones, and I live in a glass house.

Wow... That's super cute... According to you, You should not pretend to work for the flying pasketti monster unless you really work and believe full time in the flying pasketti monster... That's some high level make believe bullshit right here... If only the believers could go full Fatwa bin Jihad and blow themselves up preferably in some empty far away desert... Like a giant woodstook or burning man... All religion accepted... Could even call it "blowing man" and collect an entrance fee to cover for body parts cleanup...
Like mah slightly lefty highschool german teacher once told me... "Let's hang the priest with the guts of the last banker" Vaguely inspired by Diderot...

most of them are 2nd or 3rd class fellows there in their home countries but they pretend to be 1st class by putting on a robe of fake-priestness.
this kind of thing is hackneyed in fg.com. i guess you fellows are fed up with it but repeating over and over is important.

I believe in a God but pretty much think that organized religion is like organized education/government/crime/etc... It never ends well. And if the big guy upstairs is gungho on the 2nd commandment then there's no need for me to get pissy about it. He'll take care of it on his own.
