When demanding 10% of their income isn't enough. Grifters gotta grift.

That's Iglesia ni Cristo, normal churches don't care even if you don't donate anything

Nobody is better at being grifted than the Philippines

"Crypto for Christ" was right there and they blew right past it.

He did love money.

Are they holding up zeros because that's how much money they have left?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

No, don't you see.

They are holding up all the money they earned with crypto.

[–] gizmonicus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That's how much you will have after buying into this shit.

The first thing the picture made me think of was that OK white power symbol racist bigoted fucks use.

Edit: I stand by what I said but also because I don’t know things and learn them everyday:

While it's true that some Filipinos use this gesture to mean 'okay,' Filipinos more commonly use it to mean 'money,' or 'pera,' 'kwarta,' 'datung,' 'anda' (slang words for 'money').

That’s all for today’s Dumb American Learns About Other Cultures!

George was such a genius. Wish people listened to him back then

Christ famously used violence to kick who out of his temple again?

[–] JohnBon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Miming the size of their bumhole after finding it is a scam all along.

The joke is anal r---. Laugh.
