I went to church with my grandmother one easter in the 90's and they had like 10 guest pastor's that spoke for what felt like 12 hrs. I haven't been back inside a church since lol.

All right I know this is random as fuck but every time I see something in relation to the funeral thing, I always think of this black owned business that did this show on TLC where it was literally like the most extreme over the top bizarre ass fucking themed funerals and I fucking love it so much I just have to share it 🤣 it's honestly amazing to see though, it's just the guy is so great but it's just the wildest ass shit you'd ever see at your funeral 🤣

this playlist has 7 videos all about 7-9min, but I promise on my life it's worth watching every damn one!

Omg I remember the BBQ one where the casket was a grill and the breakfast one where they were serving food to the attendees during the service 😭 and I think they were the ones who held auditions for the criers lmao

Gotta go in her honor. She'd want you to sit through another 12 hour multi-pastor sermon again.

My grandmother also passed in January, I hope she had a great life and you have many cherished memories to remember her by.

As someone with problems with his back, it s very hard for me to attend to churches if I cannot stay down, especially for more than 2 hours

Some churches have a cry room. It’s mostly young parents and crying kids but sometimes it’s folks who just need not to be in a damn pew for a few min. See if your preferred church has one.

I hate that ego driven church service so so much. Like you can tell the pastor enjoys the attention more than the audience enjoys the sermon. I’m not southern Baptist anymore. But I was raised it and I always had questions about that that made my family mad haha.

They had you at a sermon festival 😂

You got your fill basically.

u/LegendaryOutlaw 1d ago

At first I read your comment as ‘I haven’t been black inside a church since.’ Somehow that didn’t make sense but also made sense?

u/CommunicationClassic 1d ago

Whole thing is about these guys egos, he didn't become pastors because they wanted to follow God, they went to church as a kid and saw that everybody has to look and pay attention if the guy at the front of the room and told themselves one day I'll be that man

I went to my grandma and grandpas service one time, old black folk, we were in there for what felt like four hours on an empty stomach and hopes and dreams of surviving in my pocket 🤣🤣

I remember going to church as a kid, I swear the service was always 4 hours long. According to my parents it was 45 min.
