Comments on: Testimony Time http://www.stufffundieslike.com/2009/05/testimony-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=testimony-time A humor site dedicated to Independent Fundamental Baptists, their standards, their beliefs, and their craziness.

They were so stupid in that church, though they had a cordless microphone, they never used it. What's the use of having testimonies if half the congregation couldn't hear them because they were seated too far away from the soft spoken speaker? You can't receive a blessing from something you can't hear. Somehow, the pastor, no matter how far he stood from the speaker, clearly heard and understood every word, therefore he expected everyone else could. It was so frustrating! :evil: I disliked testimony time not so much for the reasons above but that I couldn’t HEAR them.

I think the Catholics have the better idea--confessing in private.

It was always painful and awkward to sit and listen to the silence as we waited for someone to get convicted and testify. Our pastor used to say our testimonies needed to be CBS:

Thinking and staring at the wall.... "Now, what else was it that we needed." Don't worry, husband is MORE than happy for you to pass the list to him so he can add the items that he wanted.

I actually enjoy hearing folks talk about the Lord, and what he is doing in their lives, but ever notice how often it devolves into thanking God for finding this church, the only one this side of the Mississippi teaching the "true" gospel and then talking and complimenting the MOG and his wife more than the Lord Jesus Christ. Hay - Man! I usually preferred testimony time to the droning of the MOG.

The pews are so dead and so few people are actually talking to sinners it becomes an in house game, my story is better than yours. What a shock if someone would actually get up and tell about how they met someone and took them to dinner several weeks ago and how the Lord is allowing a real friendship to blossom. That person seems to be very angry at Christians and the one testifying requests prayer that they can be a "real" Christian to them. (without some one asking the Phil Kid question... "have you given them the gospel, before it is too late and they are decapitated in a horrendous car accident!" Give 'em the gospel even if it runs them off and you lose them as a friend but make sure they pray the prayer!") Zeal without wisdom.

Of course, it involves going back to 30 years ago and re-capping everything that's happened till now... but at least they're praising God. :) Yes Trina, I know. ;) God bless these people… they’re usually the ones who have the most to brag on the Lord about.

There are those REALLY long winded people though where you're able to re-arrange you're bulletins, figure out which ones to throw out, look for gum, pass a note to 3 people asking for gum, read through all the old notes you've written in your bible, and play a few hymnal games... lol lol 1611.
