Dangerous Condom Mistakes, Are You Making Them?
It’s not enough to just use condoms. You have to use them correctly!
Checking for visible damage:
Look for tears or holes and do not open the packet with your teeth or snag the condom on jewelry or fingernails.
Checking the expiration date:
Plain condoms last up to 5 years, while those with a spermicide up to 2 years because the latex begins to break down. Condoms kept in men’s wallets get hot from body heat, which can shorten a condom’s life span. If a condom is sticky or brittle, throw it away.
Not discussing condom use beforehand:
Don’t spring a condom on your partner at the last minute. The more both partners discuss and practice using condoms, the better things will go when the big moment comes.
Putting it on late in the action:
Do not put the condom on after penetration has occurred. Some sperm can be released before the final fireworks, posing pregnancy and STD risks.
Not leaving room at the top:
Before putting the condom on, you need to gently squeeze the tip of the condom to remove any trapped air and leave space for the sperm. Otherwise, the condom’s more likely to break.
Putting it on wrong:
Putting the condom on inside out makes it more likely to slip off during intercourse. If this happens get a new condom.(The condom should look a little like a cap with the bottom edges rolled up, not under. The cap should fit over the penis so that the brim unrolls easily down the shaft)
Breaking the condom:
About 29% of users report breakage. A large chunk of that is user error, not product defects, say researchers. In addition to the mistakes in numbers 1, 2, 5, and 6, add this: using oil-based lubricants (like petroleum jelly, face and body creams, and baby oil or mineral oil). These can make the latex pop. Instead, use kinder, gentler water-based or silicone lubricants (think glycerin or K-Y Jelly).
Slipping off during sex:
To find a good fit, buy a variety of styles and sizes and try them at leisure.
Taking the condom off too soon:
Losing an erection is a big reason, but erections can come and go during sex; besides, ejaculation can occur without an erection, bringing with it all the risks of pregnancy and STDs.
Recycling a used condom:
Do not use a condom more than once. Once you’ve run the good race and passed the finish line, retire that thing to the garbage.
Number one mistake:
Not using a condom. Don’t let all these potential problems turn you off using condoms. Knowledge is power, practice and get it right.

This trend makes one question the real motive of some pastors today. It is easy to believe that some of them take advantage of their flock and exploit them financially in the name of the gospel.
Pastors in Africa today are part of the conspicuous consumers, buying expensive vehicles, customising them and acquiring personal property using resources obtained from their flock who give in the name of sowing seeds of faith!

All that nonsense should be blamed on lazy people who think that the so-called pastors should read and interpret the word of God for them. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus charge or collect money from the multitudes who used to throng venues where he showed upJesus’ work was to set free those who are poor and sick and exploited. Today, the so-called pastors know very well that Africans are lazy and cannot read the Bible. These false prophets always deceive people while preaching. If there is a group of about 200 people, a ‘prophet’ will start ‘prophesying’ that he/she can see some woman in the crowd who is pregnant and will deliver a baby girl and another one who will get a job very soon. Sincerely, out such a group, it’s automatic, given Africa’s fertility levels, that one or five are pregnant. What is the difference between them and witchdoctors who demand cows and goats and money from unsuspecting people? The motivation across the board is self aggrandizement. Anyway Apostle Paul predicted and warned people who unfortunately do n’t read the Bible while those who exploit them know what they are doing.
Blind fellowship is a poison pill for the poor!

Prophecy, incendiary sermons and abuse of platform

I strongly agree that MOST of the churches today have turned into business ventures and the congregants must have their ayes wide open.
