Re: New WWPF Worldwide Headquarters

I thought it was a joke actually. Am I wrong?

We are just on tangent now though.

Brother, wouldn't that just be an assessment based on your own perception?
You really mean that when preachers sit on a platform they believe they are royal? Brother? How should they look? Should they be smeared in honey and sitting on fire ants? How about sack cloth? Hey! What about if they were slashing their scalps, and whipping themselves with barbed chains?

You mean they really don't agree with what is being preached? You think they aren't sincere? What did they do you? Wow, I'm glad you like me. Well, I think you like me? Wait, you might even like those good men also? I'm doomed.

You think the Brothers and Sisters in the congregation are only enduring the service, and can't wait to flee the scene? How about if they are truly enjoying themselves?

Maybe some are looking for men who preach who constantly whip themselves with barbed flails, repeating, over and over, "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy,I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...ouch!"

LOL

Drink: Not salt. (Where does "salt" in the question come from anyways?) No, I am speaking of Timmy's favorite drink.

Royalty: Feeling you and your position is superior to those you are leading or talking to. Usually a feeling that needs to be continually reinforced through a circle of "yes" men. The more bobblehead the better.

I agree with a lot of things I hear but usually don't shout "preach it!". Usually I nod inwardly just like Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer -"Yep", "Ya", "uh huh".

And the sincerest person in politics is the person who trusts in the people more then in the government and is willing to concede power and responsibility to them despite the fact that it may cost them an election.

Yet, you can only assume that those particular men feel the way you are painting them. We live by images sometime, and past bad experiences cause us to prejudge and make a bad call. Right?

But that would have to be that these men always agree on everything. Yes men? How do you know that? By what you are saying these individuals would have to be insincere and just playing some game. Do you really believe that they could careless about what they are nodding their heads to? Or are they truly enjoying themselves? Do they really believe what they are listening to?
I would say, yes. They are enjoying themselves and the people are enjoying what they are listening to. Everyone is happy, and they are feeling fine.

Yet, is it wrong to get excited? If those in the world are feeling to jump up and shout take it all off! Then it is ok? Yet, when a Brother is in agreement and screams out "Preach it!" He or she is a bad machine?

Yes, I understand, yet we cannot take a broad brush and say the good men seated on the platform are dripping with arrogance, and pride just waiting to walk off the platform stepping on the backs of the saints.

Right?

Oh there is so much to say. LOL

The main reason I do not get into "deep" conversations is that I rarely have more then minutes at a time to post (and am not a fast typer).

Do I believe that everyone on the platform is dripping with arrogance? Not at all, but it IS a culture that breeds a highers elevation in life to the man on the platform then to the lowly sheep beneath him. It needs constant reinforcement, -the men who "sit higher then the sheep" on the platform, as well as the noise of encouragement from the sheep themselves.

I am watching this sermon right now:
http://www.therockchurch.org/default...es-traditions/

I have never heard someone make so many good points yet twist it into a preconceived notion to this degree! (OK, maybe I have with young earthers.....) He (Nathaniel J. Wilson) makes GREAT points about biblical PRINCIPLES and how you cannot over legislate, yet turns around and somehow uses it to SUPPORT current legislation (including facial hair and ALL the apostolic traditions).

What kind of culture? Midwest, Californian? South Cali, North Cali? How about South East Florida compared to South West Florida? Brother, my point is that we can only assume what you are saying applies to those good Elders on the platform. They are seasoned men who have been at it for a long time, and have a large group of people wanting to hear what they have to say. You even said that you agreed with a lot of what they preached? Did you not? Although you were not agreeance with other statements made you can amen most of what was said. These men, love the people and families that they preach and teach.

Here you are saying that it is some programed situation that these good Elders have all agreed upon to dupe the people? You don't agree that the folks listening to these men are really having a good time? Not even a little bit?

Are you enjoying it? Are you listening with an open mind are looking for the chink in the armor?

Are you sure you are not listening with a overly high amount of prejudice?
