Theatrical Pastors whyyyy?

[Honey6928215]

Eventhough my pastor is not theatrical I glad to say the he does get his point across even when he's 'hollering.' I have been to churches where the pastor was running all over the place trying to keep the mike at his lips but you can't hear what he's saying because the congregation is whooping and hollering. Boy the memories.........

[firecracker]

I love T D Jakes. He can shout, but with him, I can hear what he's saying, and he's always emphasizing a point. Now, TD Jakes' background is both baptist and pentacostal, so you know at the end of his sermons, there's going to be some shouting. :lol:

Exactly. I was raised in a Baptist church also. In High School I joined a AME church. My new church is Baptist so we get your shouting, running marathon style and marching on.:lol:

I agree with you Shimmie about the singers also. I wanna sang like Tramaine and Yolanda too. I guess I will stick to pretending in the shower. :look:

The only reason I posted about what happened this morning is because I couldn't believe I was scared again during a sermon. :ohwell:

I thought that House of Refuge/Noel Jones incident was a one time thing :( I had seen him on tape but not in person. I am sure when that happened it was due to my choice of worship service. I was told he structures his three services/sermons to a certain demographics/audience. I'm a lil ole skool so the 6 and 9 am services would probably work better for my pysche.

Plus I think my Granny Madear traumatized me when I was a lil girl. She got the holy ghost one time when I was about 6 or 7. Her wig flew off and her flappin arms slapped me so chile I move outta the way whenever someone gets the holy ghost.:lachen:

When I visited that 6 oclock service there was a woman sitting next to me bucking, jumpin up b4 he could say boo and I think the organ "da da da" after every word or breathe Bishop said really did a number on me. I really was praying frevently for God to release these feelings and give me the gift of disernment at that very moment. I was lucky to get out there alive. :grin: I can laugh now but when I got to my mothers I was hysterical.

For me, it really depends. Where I am from we call it "whooping". Now if you are going over the top and I can't understand a word you are saying, then I have major issues with you. However, if you have a particular style of ministering, then that is something totally different.

For example, Juanita Bynum and Noel Jones would probably fall into the "whoopers" category, but when they do minister, God is edified and the people can hear the Word of God.

Exactly. The point is for God to be exalted and for the people of God to hear the Word. It's not for false doctrine and false teaching to be spread around. Shame on pastors and ministers who use the pulpit for that ungodly agenda. :look:

High five, Shimmie! Especially with the singing! I wish some people could get that point! Just sing, don't try to be somebody else whom you clearly cannot immitate! :lol:

Pebs, I forgot to say hi to you...Hi Sweetie pie. :kiss:

Okay, back on topic... :lol:

[pebbles]

Pebs, we won't even go there...:lol: I try so hard to be non-judging and see past the noise and hear the message of the song. Drives me to drinking "holy water.' :look: My spakling Perrier.



Sweet C...I love to hear Noel Jones and Juuanita Bynum. Now 'whooping' is annointing...:yep: This is my perception of teaching and preaching in excellent balance. For they both start off, ministering by teaching the word, and then all 'whoop' breaks loose.

Okay....Shimmie settles down from the memory of an annointed 'whoop'... :lol:

Yeah, girl! I've sat under many an annointed "whooping" and been really blessed. :lol:

LOL!! What a sight that must have been. I've seen this a few times too. :lol:

That reminds me when I was a little girl I hated to go to this particular church because I know the women will start shouting and carrying on. I hated so much I start crying. I didn't understand until I got older but boy I try every excuse not to go.:lol:

Hey Shim! :kiss:

[firecracker]

:eek: :eek: See ya'll know about House of Refuge/Noel Jones.:lachen: Whooping sho was going down but I guess I needed a seat in the overflow room and away from the whoopers!:lachen:

My mom is still talking about how I came away from that visit. She thought it was funny but I truly didn't cuz my heart was racing, I was stiff, couldn't move my arms or legs and down right scared. :eek:

I like Juanita Bynum also. I told my friend I know Bishop Jones has a message to give but I surely couldn't get it cuz dat woman in the red jersey dress next to me had me on red alert waiting to shield my face and body from another holy ghost assault. :lachen:

As a little girl I never seen anyone in my family get the 'holy ghost.' But seeing someone else is enough for me.:lol: That wig story is funny though and I still see it happen today. As a matter of fact a couple of weeks ago a woman boobs popped out. Women rushed to cover her up. My pastor got to the pulpit and preach about how the women should come dressed so nothing pops out next time because you will never know when the spirit hit you. When the spirit hit me one time I was wearing a three piece suit. The only thing came off was my earrings.:lol:

You know it.:lol: My mom was saying that the pastor got up to get the men to focus on him trying to get them to look away from her 'cause she was at the front. But it was too late. They had seen everything.:lachen:
