That's kind of my when its forced its not true worship its just people going through the motions of woership. And I believe that type of worship keeps God from moving.

Maybe "Forced" is too harsh......But I have been thru some song services where the leader will not give up until someone shouts. Pentecostal calisthenics 
Or even during preaching when the preacher says; "Let's give God a hand praise" over and over and over.....

Re: Forced Worship
Do you praise God every time some one says too?

No I don't because I feel like it should come from your heart and not some trained response just because you've been told too.

Not necessarily. I come ot church sometimes dead dead dead tired and not feeling very motivated no matter how much I had been praying recently
The bible tells us to encourage each other. Edify each other. There will be up days and down days
