Brother,

Newman probably was right that they were new converts. Any church that has a burden for souls will have many people in the congregation that look the same way.

I don't prefer men.

Seriously, I love to see new converts up front. It's super cool.

Thad, I know this doesn't apply to you because I have seen your choir, I have seen their passion, and I have witnessed your reasonable expectations and anti-tyranical leadership.

I have heard folks (well...leadership) in the church and in the office as well call certain things "theirs"...my this and my that, and really it makes me rather nauseous. There is no vision and mission among the workers if the leader is a narcissisist who believes that people are only stepping stones to help them achieve noteriety, praise and whatever else.

Especially in the church, nothing is me or mine, it is the Lords, and not subject to be lorded over. My praise singers, my choir, my sound men, my ushers, my sunday school teachers, my ministers, my saints, my church...


...glory to God.

Why is it that the fellas up front are rarely there for more than a couple of months or so...could it be that no one is able to maintain that level of emotional intensity...that is sooo cool, so they end up learning how to be either on the moon emotionally or in the cellar...with no in between.

I pulled this out of the "How to kill a new convert manual."

Any church that doesn't legislate ridiculous extra-biblical rules of men would have even more of the same...

Maybe they are still there....they just look different by a 50 pounds or so

Carpenter- Little bit fussy today, huh? .... If someone posted from this board had been singing in the choir; they would have introduced this film as "my choir."

Just as someone says "my school," or "my church." They aren't claiming ownership; merely membership.
