THE REASON FOR BEING?
I HATE MY ACTING SCHOOL DIRECTRESS!!!
 

I found the following excerpt:

http://thebereans.frontpew.com/p_daan.htm

Born from a poor family in Pasay City, Philippines, Soriano claimed to be an
"exceptional, consistently receiving the highest honors. and was awarded the
highest possible grade in the entire history of his grade school."
Unfortunately, he did not finish his secondary schooling due to an alleged
"skirmish" with his acting school directress over a topic on religion.
Soriano's follower took this not as a "twist of fate but rather [an alleged]
manifestation of God's work of hand bringing him to his real destiny."2 His
parents were members of Church of God in Christ Jesus, the Pillar and the
Ground of Truth in the Philippines founded in 1936 by a former Iglesia ni
Cristo (1914) follower namely Nicolaz Perez. Perez left the I.N.C. after
finding out from his own Bible research that Jesus Christ was God.

However, Soriano's desire to read the Scripture even more was prompted by
his membership in the said religious cult group at a young age of 17 years
old. His followers noted of his "zealous[ness] in his religion."3 His
unorthodox skill in explaining the Bible was noticed by the other members so
that he became "a preacher, a debater and a minister"4 of the said group. He
was even believed to be a "special confidante of Perez, explaining to him
the teachings and the mysteries of the word of God."5 Unknown to many, he
was said to be groomed as the successor Perez after his death. In the late
1970s just after Perez died, there occurred a "power struggle" between the
two most prominent leaders of the group namely Eliseo Soriano and Levita
Gugulan as to whom will take the place of their deceased leader and founder.

As of the moment, exact incident cannot be determined as to what really
happened although there are a couple of version. But the point of the matter
is, Soriano broke away from the group and established his own organization
under the banner of "Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng
Katotohanan" ("Dating Daan"). He propagated his teachings through the radio
waves and lately used the visual media. He is fond of vehemently opposing
various religious groups by attacking their non-essential doctrines like
tithing and organization "names," as well as, the personalities of those
religious leaders. He is also fond of religious debates being set up inside
their turf.
