Dear brother and sisters of God
Today is best described as a trying and difficult day for both me and my soul mate Sun. I have also come to realise that many of you have expressed unquestionable faith in me and it is only right that I reciprocate with an explanation for the press release from the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports made yesterday.
Before I proceed with the explanation, I would like to thank our dear brother in god, Christopher Pang who on seeing the press release immediately responded to the Minister. As I leave my palatial bungalow at Sentosa Cove, I realised that there many people like Christopher who have an open mind, good heart are basically gullible. It is these traits in people that I first realised when I accepted Christ as a Pre University student in Singapore's premier school. The human race is made up of a tiny minority that will rise to the surface as leaders, either good or bad is immaterial. What it does say is that the rest are born to follow. They wait consciously or otherwise for some one to lead them. I found this out early and went for it. I have accumulated wealth without even developing a single product, provide a service or contribute anything of measurable value. There was no need to.
Let me go a little bit into detail of my awakening. I also realised that most people who maybe gullible in their youth eventually reach maturity in mind and move on. They however will not admit their folly following their departure about something that does not exist and therefore will not speak ill of their lost years. I put it down to ego and one's pride.
In essence, the Church and many of such churches will have over 70% that are basically young in age, immature in mind and sadly gullible. As they move on new ones will replace them. However there will be 30 % that for reasons unknown are still lost. Interestingly the vast majority are females and many are umarried. Sadly I think it is companionship that is sought. They are also our biggest source of tithes on per capita terms. The second biggest group within the 30% are the elderly and the infirm who are desparate and hoping for salvation. One must be an absolute fool not to take advantage of these people.
So how do we bring them in in a very competitive world. For a start the young are looking for love and we provide or more appropriately we create the opportunity. Next in importance is the desire to look good and trendy. We provide an excellent environment and the role models. Note that all our church leaders are trendy from top to bottom. Trendy hairstyle, expensive clothes and a weekend opportunity to showcase them. To bind all these we have music which is the only known medium that has proven to bring people together in large numbers. To this end we have invested in excellent sound systems, instruments and an arena with state of the art acoustics built in. I can tell you that if music did not exist, I will still be living in a HDB flat.
Here is a bit of a confession. It was also music that led me into this mess. We got carried away that Sun and I thought that we could double the number of gullible people in our congregation by investi in Sun and her music. Lets face it - China Wine though inappropriate for many reasons was outstanding. But that wine has gone bad. It will take a few years and I will be back to lead you again.
By now being naturally gullible you would have forgotten that the intention of this letter was to provide an explanation and reponse to the Ministry's press release. As I return to Sentosa Cove I will end up crying with joy on how so many got misled by so few for so long - suckers.
Once again, God Bless.
Your in Christ
