Answer 2

1. why is it that the pastor preaches about something bad?
The priests of my church actually focus on positive messages. We don't have any hellfire-and-brimstone homilies.

2. why is the congregation mostly women (old@young) and children?\
My church is mostly families. Men, women and children.

3. why in black churches women where those big hats?
Don't know.


4. how come when the pastor say's something the women always cosign for him?
Don't know that either. Doesn't happen at my church.

5. and lastly, why is it the pastor gets all the women?
Not applicable for Roman Catholic church.

Answer 3

1) Pastors preach about something bad so that we can learn from it. If he preaches about God's view of infidelity, it is in the hopes that we will avoid it.

2) Woman, in a broad generality, are more focused on their spirituality than men. However, many churches are evenly represented.

3) They are a status symbol. Just like people who drive Lexus, BMW's, or Mercedes cars, or men where flashy suits. It's not just black women that wear them to church.

4) I'm thinking you are asking why there's a "amen" after the preacher saying something. It shows (a) they're paying attention, (b) are in agreement with what he's saying, (c) to show how "holy" they think they are.

5) I was shocked one day to learn that one deacon's responsibilities was the "take care" of the widows, and I'm not talking about with chores around the house or financial. His church's idea about this was that the widows' needed their "knowing" (meant in the Biblical sense) to ease their suffering of loosing their husband. Although this is not to say that every church takes this view, there are some that do. Also, there are wolves in sheep's clothing that are among the clergy. They prey upon spritual women and seduce them into satisfying their bodily needs. It is a sad thing to admit, but it is very true in some cases. Although again, this is not to say that every church's pastors are like this just like not all Catholic priests are child molestors.

Answer 4

Sounds like typical cultural things in a black church.

1. When you see bad things, you learn how to avoid them

2. Men today tend to be too material and proud and would rather watch sports on tv than cultivate a spiritual life

3. Tradition and the need for approval and acceptance

4. It's a style of preaching and following. Agree with the messenger is agreeing with the message

5. Just another example of a weak and phony church that blabs all the words but has no spirit

Answer 5

Man you go to a strange church.

1. The only bad I hear about in church is the condition of things which we are compelled to help improve: poverty, illiteracy, wars, etc.

2. Not true where I go.

3. I guess some people like big hats?

4. I don't know what that means - cosign for him.

5. Sorry, mine has only his wife.

Answer 6

1. Pastor is just a man, like you and I. He's just an ordained person.

2.Congregation only grows with the population of woman. Pastors in seminary are always taught that a real ministry has to focus on the brothers because it is a real ministry when the most proud are humbled.

3.Many think its a show and so they wear sunday clothes like they wear ballroom clothes.

4.They are in agreement or sometimes its unhumbling and they want to show others not God that they are "more holy" than others.

5.Because they are men. Men fallen in temptation. That's why most churches prohibit pastor meeting with just the woman- both couples are required to be present when they meet or the pastor's wife must be present when they have to meet with the woman alone.

Answer 7

1. The message is given with the focus of helping us become better people. Sometimes "bad' things need to be discussed in order to improve.
2. The congregation in my Church is evenly repersented by both males and females
3. Women do not wear hats too frequently in my Church.
4. Not certain of what you are asking
5. Not understanding what you are asking, and this is an incurrent assumption

Answer 8

1.so we can learn from it and not do it.

2.Thats not always true.

3.Good question I don't know they must Like them.

4.Not all women and if they do it meens he is making a good point.

5.Well If the Pastor does get the women he is not a Godly man.and he should live what he is preaching.

Answer 9

1.) Pastors don't always preach about doom and gloom.. if they do ALWAYS... find another church...

2.) They aren't (not in our church) If they are in your church (find another one)

3.) Haha... It's called Style.... and Fashion.. and it's not just in "black churches" as you so delicatly put it.

4.) They don't. Men do to. At least in our church they do.

5.) That's just rude and disprespectful.

And if all that is going on in your church, step up be a leader and do something to correct it..
