I saw some youtube video of ya all. All i saw was whopped up frenzified folks acting disorderly.

What's with that guy on the keyboard hollerin at folks to sit down and mind their own business.....then he starts the pumping that keyboard into a frenzy again.

Is that we are calling serious revival these days?

Wow...that's quite a statement!

Also, it is very sad...it seems as if there's no one who can make a difference out there.

Just wait, friend, soon whoever is singing such a dreary gloom and doom song in your ear will have new tune to sing, one of mighty revival.

My guess is that won't happen, because most that had any desire to be involved would get discouraged as they have in the past and move on.
Anybody else have an opinion?

Yes, I do. As a native Oregonian, and lifelong part of the church in Oregon, I say you are a negative nelly and lack insight. Whereabouts in Oregon are you from, anyway?

Carey, why are they dying out? what do you mean exactly? backsliding? leaving church altogether? what is happening ?

I know that I am not CareyM, but I can tell you what is going on 'out here'. There are a couple churches with some struggles going on right now, as most every church experiences from time to time, and some person with a seeming lack of spiritual insight is a veritable chicken little, "the sky is falling! the sky is falling!" Total nonsense, but, true to form, how quickly you zero in on a negative post, hoping to pick up some more gossip and garbage (stuff that the flesh really feasts on, brother).
