Members SureWord Posted April 21, 2023 Members Posted April 21, 2023 The worst I've witnessed was at a Charismatic Baptist church in Pa. It was a total mess. The "pastors" (husband and wife) were both speaking gibberish on stage, teenagers were in the pews making out, the drummer was banging away like Keith Moon, but there wasn't anyone body slammed or licking toes.

In my opinion, if a sermon is preached then it should be 100% Bible based, and any stories or illustrations should only be used if they align perfectly with the sermon. Any fetishes between a husband and wife should never be spoken of from behind a pulpit, again it's my opinion, but I believe when fetishes are spoken about like this from a pulpit, during a sermon, it's blasphemous.  I am now extremely careful who I listen to and whose churches I visit during furlough. I have heard "IFB" pastors and preachers say stuff, during sermons, and in front of my kids, that I would not repeat here. Edited May 24, 2023 by heartstrings Quote

One of my college professors said in a chapel service one time that if a burlesque house had a good hamburger he'd go there regardless of what people thought. Nice thing for a New Mexico pastor say, right? That was mild compared to other things stated in chapel services and classes that year. Quote

I had to skip every time he spoke in chapel after that. I got demerits for it, but, it was well worth it! I dropped out of his class as well. HappyChristian, Jim_Alaska and Rebecca 3 Quote

These aren't the actions of a minister of the Gospel. He's NOT "holding up the banner" as he said. Either he'd be gone or I would. Pastor Matt and Rebecca 1 1 Quote

Some people might actually like their pastor preaching like this. I attended a camp back in the 80s for teens who were a step away from "juvie". A lot of the preaching was like this. Some made it and some melted. Quote

Got into a lot of trouble for it, but, at that time my parents had swallowed a lot of the IFB Kool Aid with the extra -Biblical hogwash some apply. They apologized to all six of us kids years later. Quote
