City Harvest Church: are they waging a war of
copyright on whistle blower's YouTube accounts?
YouTube user 'Kong Hee' has since even silenced the
whistle blower 'goh05dan' who was critical of Pastor Kong Hee's
theology, especially that he espoused and as excerpted in the
YouTube video titled 'Kong Hee 30,60 100 fold
return'.
The said video questioned Pastor Kong's theology in
his confusion of '30,60 100 fold return' as quoted in both Matthew
13:8 and Matthew 13:23 with financial returns as consequence of
participation in certain Church related
activities.
Specifically, the return refers NOT to fiduciary
returns but to gains in a spiritual sense, applicable to both
Christianity as well as the follower whether in this life or the
next- Pastor Kong Hee's depreciating use of Singapore currency
notes and his gift of fungible currency to teach this point was
both despicable and offensive and liable to mislead his followers
into believing that the membership of the said Church might reap
monetary gains- the expense of approx S$200 as 'prize money' to the
recipient also reeks of 'baiting'- a sales tactic many dishonest
salesmen use to entice unwitting customers to invest in ponzi/
other fraudulent investment schemes.
The translated text of the two verses are excerpted
as follows:
Matthew 13:8: "Still other seed fell on good soil,
where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was
sown." Matthew 13:23: "But the one who received the seed that fell
on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He
produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was
sown.""
In conclusion, I'm unsure to what extent
'goh05dan''s "multiple third-party notifications of copyright
infringement" although all the protesters named seem to be 'Kong
Hee'- perhaps some clarification as to the purpose of those
excerpts could be made as it is surely in the spirit of progressive
free speech for there to be an open discussion about the theology
that preaches of various religions preach.
