My girlfriend here in the Philippines went to this outfit (IGLESIA NI CRISTO) she left because if they found out we were living together they would kick her out or shun her. So now she goes to Catholic church for an hour on Sundays. This IGLESIA church is pretty big here, I believe they also tithe.
