Powerless Praying?

+ Powerless praying! I do not win the election. Give it my money back!

- Ah, ... ehm, i just praying brother and sister ... and the money also i sent to the headquarter ...

This is still talking about candidate of legislator. The election is passed in last 9 April, but the effect is still there. As you know, some candidates using church (including the pastor and or priest) as target of campaign. HKBP as traditional Batak church also a part of the game, especially for candidates whi the background is related to Batakneese. I heard from people that some candidates invited them (the pastors) to one event and gave money to them at the end of session before leaving the venue. The message is: don't forget to choose one of them at the D-day. And there is possibility that pastors run away by promoting the candidate in some occasions, like preaching ...

In formal way, HKBP did a special service and praying the candidates in church. We do not know if there is "gifting" from candidates to compensate this generousity which is never done before (in years ago).

Currently, the result if election already published. And not everyone - off course - won the election and entitled to be legislator. There is possibility the candidates will challenge and will claim church (es) who prayed for them last time and questioning why they are not won. And maybe they asking for everything ever given to church (es) last time to return to them accordingly ...
