What really bugs me is those preachers that add an "UH!" to the end of every word.

Example:

Praise the Lord-UH!

Amen and amen, michie.  While my wife was in the hospital in Las Vegas, the preacher at the church I went to did this.  It drove me insane.  Almost made it hard to listen to his message.

I am not one for shouting preachers, but an occasional volume rise in the midst of powerful preaching is acceptable.  I just don't want to listen to speaker blowin' hootin' and hollerin' every Sunday.     

Exactly Dewjunkie.

Do you think Jesus did the UH! thing?



A slight raise in volume is ok but the screaming & strange accents really distract me from getting anything out of it.

Can you imagine reading the Gospels if all the red letter went like this:

38 "You have heard-uh that is had-uh been said-uh, Eye-uh for eye-uh, and tooth-uh for tooth-uh.  39 But I tell you-uh, Do not resist-uh an evil-uh person-uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh."

 

 

 

That is too funny!

 

Try reading your Bible that way!

We could call it the New Revised Annoyingly Overdramatic Preacher Version (NRAOPV)

Do not love anything of the world-UH! If anyone loves the world-UH, the love of the Father is not in him-UH. For everything in the world-UH- the cravings of sinful man-UH, the lust of the eyes-UH and the boasting of what he has and does-UH- comes not from the Father but from the world-UH.

1 John 2:15-16-UH!

See how distracting that is?

i usually dont like preachers shouting - its like u have a mic i can hear u - u know but i dont mind sometimes - i would rather listen to sum one shout a little but deliver what they were saying with passion rather than sum1 who talks in one tone all the time and doesnt seem to be interested.

Nah, i don't like the shouting. I wakes up the babies and i.

But 4 real. I don't believe u need 2shout when u have speakers. The sounds people r'nt there 2 regulate the preacher. I say preach with down to earth reality and a sense of humor and u'll get further. I remember more from the sermons where the preacher had me rolling than the ones who made my ears and head hurt. I tell u some churches will raise alot of money 4 the biulding fund if they started selling ear plugs and the entrance 2 the sanctuary.

U guys r killing me w/ laughter here. I have not bring myself to the point 2 where i am able 2 tolerate those -uh preachers and i don't thing i ever will because i'm not even going 2 try. They anoy the hell out of me then again is'nt that a good thing?????

Mike Warnke did a bit once about the "-uh" thing. He said evangelists have to do the "-uh" business, like "Well bless God-UH! We're here tonight-UH! To talk about the love of of God-UH!"

And then he said, "You also have to do the Funky Chicken Walk, which is where you stand back from the microphone and shake all over, to prove you've got the Spirit of God on you." He said, "I was preaching at this place one night, and the microphone shorted out---it's shooting sparks into my face, and I'm jerking my head backwards spasmodically to get away from it, and this little old white-haired lady in the front row closed her eyes and said, "Oh, bless him, Jesus!"

For the record, everybody:

Growing up in and around churches where this was the norm every Sunday, I'd just like to correct you all. It's not "uh!" It's "ha!!!". LOL

LOL!

The funky chicken dance!

Yeah, nothing better than an overweight 55 year old man in a suit and tie doing "the hustle" to prove that God is filling him with the spirit-uhhhh.

I can hardly wait till we all hear Jesus teach.

What indescribable true enrichment awaits us !
and not one burden-filled offering will be taken. 

Yeah, Mike also said you had to dress the part of an evangelist as well. He said, "I had this perfect preacher suit that was double-breasted, double-chested, double-knit, double buttoned....and I had white patent-leather shoes with Pat Boone's picture on the toe of each one, and I had 47 cans of hair spray on my hair. If I'd fallen down, my hair would've broke."

Reminds me of some of those guys I see on TBN from time to time.

my pastor says"amen church, amen? after he says anything

Ya, what is it with the hairspray anyway?

Seems there is a fashion code of some sort among preachers & their wives?
The higher the hair the closer to God or something?

Isn't it fun to make fun of ourselves?

Next, we'll have to talk about the after church rushes on Sundays to various eating establishments.

LOL
