INC's Ciudad de Victoria

http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/03/50/17/70_big.jpg 

This is the artists rendition of that agricultural land wasted by an ambitious project of the Mormon Church copycat called Iglesia ni Cristo which is actually Iglesia ni Cristo sa turo ni Manalo.

Wonder why that place was called Ciudad de Victoria?

It is Spanish for City of Victory or in Tagalog, Lungsod ng Tagumpay.  So what's with the victory thing?

Well, for one, the INC is trying desperately hard to gain more members into their flock to bolster their coffers more than saving souls, even sending entire families to migrate to other countries or telling their women to tell their non-INC suitors to either convert or get someone else.

Anywho....

The founder of this uber secret, uber rich sect was born Felix Manalo Ysagun.  He decided to have his name legally changed to Felix Manalo because of what he might have perceived as a "sign" and a "prophecy" of his "anointing as a "last days prophet".  (Last days!  Ha!  He is succeeded by his son then his grandson and the last days have long been well....late!)  So, taking his name Felix which in Latin means Happy and his new surname Manalo which Tagalog means Victory, he took it as his mission's ordination, a sign of a happy victory for his new found sect.

Several claims of being an angel later, several women getting you know....

And boom!

Fast forward into a ho-hum centennial, and an ambitious real estate project which is being sold to INC members, (you know how they "sell" things there), they names the place Ciudad de Victoria.

But what they forgot, for all their fantasies about Victory and Triump is that Victoria is actually the name of the Roman goddess of victory, her greek counterpart being Nike.

So, the Roman Catholic Church hating sect inadvertently or foolishly named their place after a Roman goddess, a pagan deity.

And the INC claims they cleansed the Roman Catholic Church of all pagan influences.

Yeah, right.

  1. I'm sorry to say but the author didn't do his try hard homework perfectly.

    First of all, Brother Felix Y. Manalo did not change his name.

    The author claims that Bro. Felix changed his surname from Ysagun to Manalo. Unfortunately, his claim has come down to trash because Bro. Felix real surname is Manalo and Ysagun is his mother's maiden surname.

    It's funny beacause the author used Bro. Felix's middle name interchanged with his surname as an introduction in his tabloid like blog.

    "Una palang, mali na."

    Now, where did the author base his speculations?

    I'm guessing that he misunderstandingly took the spanish way of writing names "Felix Manalo y Ysagun" wherein the surname comes forst before the middle name. What a stupid thing to assume! Hahaha

    Secondly, 'Victoria' doesn't necessarily pin point to the greek goddess. Let us all remember, 'Victoria' as a name and 'victoria' as a word are two very different terms.

    In fact, my grandmother's name is Victoria but she doesn't relate herself with the greek goddess.

    How pathetic!

    The author tries to drive the people into believing that the Iglesia ni Cristo is bad in a desperate move of making malicious and false statements and accusations.

    But, whatever, I don't think people, who are in their right minds, would believe him. After all, the author is just a bitter person spreading lies and assumed gossips.

    May God bless whoever reads this. Thank you.
