The use of iPads and android as a substitute for the bible during service has been banned by William Folorunso Kumuyi, the founder and General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church.

According to Encomium Weekly, the ban was placed a few weeks back as a result of church members who were pretending that they were reading the bible on their devices but are actually surfing the web, distracting others and not paying attention to the preaching.

So next time you visit the church, remember to leave your iPads and android devices behind.

Ngakwe, a mod in politics section is one the culprits here.

While he's meant to be listening to the sermon in church, he will be closing thread, banning members, posting comments and replying mails from members on nairaland pretending to be reading bible.

A very good one sir.

is this nursery or a church.

Will the church ban mobile phones - Attention seeking churches na wa oo

Great MOVE...

God Heal and bless His Church.

I keep loving this church with each passing day. The bar of Christianity must never be lowered no matter what!

Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!

He's right cos I'm one of d culprits.

I see the good in this from a whole different perspective. Most of those devices are replete with nudies and p0rn, yet people still take 'em into the House of God and have the audacity to have the bible in them. People nor dey. Fear God these days anymore sha.

first earing, then tv, now ipad...dem go still ban civilisation in general

before they will come and start spraying everyone saliva, make una read well before commenting.

it is conditional. it was allowed, but abuse was introduced.
that na the summary.

You can only prayerfully advise people not to while giving then reasons. The Church belongs to Christ and not GO.

Like seriously?

Time to begin to use scroll.

He only ban d use of ipad by members durng church services because of how people abuse its use durng service! dis does not mean deeper life members should not use ipad again(this is how some people are going to interpret his statement!)

As a Deeper Life Member, I strongly support this move.

Right move in good direction..

then don't come to church; period.

you are being unreasonable sir

missdebs: first earing, then tv, now ipad...dem go still ban civilisation in general

try to be more reasonable in your comments for God sake. Are you saying you can't make any sense out of the reason the GO gave? Then lady, you are pathetic!

andresia: I keep loving this church with each passing day. The bar of Christianity must never be lowered no matter what!

yes o

those who reason with their brain deep in their anus are very easy to pick out. Is it anyone's fault that your break away church can only have their services in a room or a small shop and therefore have nothing to show off?

Austeenx: One of the reasons I no longer go to church.
The last time I was in church[Easter Day 2013] the usher virtually embarrassed me for seeing me smiling with my eyes glued to my phone screen.

YOU ARE NOT DOING THE CHURCH ANY FAVOURS BY ATTENDING

THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH IS NOT BEGGING FOR NEW MEMBERS.

I love this move. Btw, if an usher sees a person using it, will he confiscate it?

I hate seeing people snaping or filming with ipad in churches.

Using technology- good or bad?

so all these people go to church?
Yet they curse and insult here.
