ultimately, people can find whatever reason they want to listen to or not listen to anything. in the end, if they like a song but don't listen to it because they think it's bad for them in some manner, they are the ones who can best say for themselves on that topic anyway, right?

3) practice "bait and switch" ministry - where it's like they try to fool you into thinking you're going to a show and it turns out it's like 10 minutes of music and 50 minutes of preaching... | I've never seen anybody do that. Got any examples?

Well maybe I exaggerated a little bit, it was more than 10 minutes of songs and less than 50 minutes of preaching. But I've seen it where there is A LOT more talk than music. It's possible they weren't deliberately trying to "trick" anyone into hearing the gospel. And I didn't necessarily disagree with what was said. But I payed to hear music, not a sermon. I felt cheated, and really the people who the bands were supposed to be "reaching out" to, nonbelievers, probably felt cheated even more so. |

| I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Aren't moderators supposed to moderate, not instigate?

oh, and to be fair, the shepherd/flock analogy is used multiple times in the bible, john was probably just referencing that. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
