Hillsong church London UK. Loved this church for the first couple of years. The music the lights the action. Everyone seemed welcoming and friendly like family.Then as the years passed I sadly discovered how fake some of the teams, congregation, doctrine and it's leaders were.I began to see it's materialistic, narcissistic , nepotistic, elitist, ageist self gaining, celebrity worshipping culture. It always seemed to promote the younger people. Which is great but the oldies ain't all dead yet. I never saw anyone over the age of 30 front the worship team. Their productions seem to promote the same old favourite faces. Alot of those in these teams come across as arrogant elitist and rude. What do you expect when their very own leaders act the same way. For me this church seems to have succumb to the world to gain it's popularity and fanbase. I felt people went there more for the hangouts, the glitz, the Glastonbury vibes, to network, for self gain and to find a potential partner or partners. They also want money alot of it. They're always selling merchandise (even on a Sunday) always serm to need money for various charities Heart for the House etc. The biggie is of course TITHING. There's always a tithing pep talks before the the buckets come round. Just to make sure you empty your pockets.. Alot of visiting pastors serm to be always plugging their latest book or album after their talk. These visitors also get given donations from a thank you bucket that goes round,which amounts to a hell of alot, when you consider you have 1000 s in the congregation. It can leave a bitter taste in your mouth when you witness pastor's living seemingly lavish lifestyles.ie living in prestigious London accomadation, owning nice cars, with the odd Harley in tow and adorned in high branded clothing.Not forgetting the paradical holidays. I say forget about being a doctor become a Hillsong Pastor. It seems the trendy and popular thrive there, while the introverts get lost in the crowd. Watch BBC Storyville called Jesus goes viral and the Hillsong documentary on Sky. After my years of experience in this church these programs got it 100% right. No bias. For me this is not a church of God.In a nutshell the founder Brian mega rich Houston had to leave due to maybe withholding information about his pedophile father. Who has been accused of child rape.Brian Houston also has been accused of immoral conduct with two women and shortly after left the church.Read up on Carl Lentz Celebrity narcissistic prosperity culture. All about the money honey.
