What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

If a church is having trouble gaining members and a new member is keen to learn and has charisma or is good looking, often they will have them on the street preaching to attract new members before they have gained any qualification in divinity or theology.

That was my story, at age 19, I had some knowledge of Christian theology from being schooled in theology at a Christian boarding school which was Protestant theology, but the church I joined was Pentecostal, they had me on the street preaching before I had even understood Pentecostalism properly, practically as soon as I was water baptized and spoke in tongues they started grooming me to preach on the street for them.

Some get to preaching before they have even bothered to understand what they are doing.

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

That is the sex racket many churches play, suck in women to get more men involved.

But that is not the topic.

Though a lot of churches are importing preachers from less educated countries like Asia and Africa, because it is hard getting qualified western preachers.

Is a man who enjoys anal sex considered a sissy? For those who think so, why can't they be thought of as someone who enjoys a variety of sexual pleasure?

No schooling is necessary, as it depends on the church and the head pastor or clergy.

Because the pastors were elderly lacked charisma and looks to attract women into the church and if they can attract women, men will follow them in.

So , depending on the church, they may not require their preachers to have any training or experience, so long as they have the gift of the gab and charisma to attract new members into the mindless sheep they fleece regularly and call their congregation.

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?

Students I knew would laugh and called me the baby faced preacher, because I couldn’t grow a hair on my face at the time, it was at 23 I had my first shave.

The “Children of God” of which some of them were my friends at the time and stayed with me occasionally got in trouble going too far with using sex to attract new members in the1970s.

Instead of just listening to the readings of the Pastor who was training me in Pentecostal theology, I decided to read the Bible from cover to cover, which he warned me against, also making me suspicious of him.

Why cant I sleep? When I'm about to fall asleep, I get excited that im about to sleep, causing me to wake up again. It repeats till my sleepiness is gone. I tried taking melatonin and not using my phone, but I end upawake for hours.

Qualified preachers in western countries are becoming rare, as according to the renowned New Testament scholar, Bart D. Ehrman, many of those graduating from seminaries are leaving as atheists.

I’ve visited many churches where the head preacher is Indian, Asian or African.

In the time I was preaching on the street, the female membership doubled and I was getting pats on the back from the head pastor for it, but this only made me suspicious of them and their motives.

Why do good-looking men date homely women?

In fact it made me realize the entire Bible is BS.

The doubts, contradictions in scripture and silliness started in Genesis and snowballed exponentially from then onward.

It was that cover to cover reading that made me realize Pentecostalism is BS.
