Hey everyone let's cool it down. I didn't mean to offend anyone when I said Nigerian style worship freaks me out, I was just saying that is the effect it has on me. As I am not a member of an African church then so what? It's none of my business how you do things and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it. It's just different. I can see how you could find English church services boring. Most English people do too!

The original question was 'should churches disturb those around them?'

Shall we get back to that?

I am a xtian, but i find it hard 2 understand y u will disturb oda pples peace coz u are praying 2 God, wat baffles me most is wen i asked a friend y dey are making so much noise in their church, she told me "the kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force" It's so painful that these so call churches doesnt even preach the gospel any more, no more salvation to the lost souls but they are more concern abt killing their enemies(which they av bn killing for years now) and making money.

At the back of my house, we av a calabar church (in lagos) that speaks their language alone and they beat drums like it's masquerade festival in the middle of the night. Oh! wen it is around 5am and we are just planning to sleep, the mosque in my street will start the call to prayer by 5am and on Fridays , dey dont stop till 7am. All in the name of worshipping God.

In Nigeria today, we av no choice coz the level of our lawlessness in this country is alarming and only God can save us

Cant we just learn 2 pray quietly?

Let me paint a picture. At 401 road Festac Town, Lagos, a street dotted with Blocks of flats about 35 of them. Each block has 16 flats of 2 and 3 bedrooms. on this street, there are 4 churches. An anglican church holds its services [sunday and midweek] in one of these Blocks , using the balcony of two flats on the ground floor and canopies for services. These services are complete with PA systems, drums, keyboard and bass. There are also two churches using canopies behind two blocks on the same street, off course with PA systems and the works. There is also an interdenominational prayer meeting held in one flat on the same street. Not counting the mosque on the same street.

Noise pollution? Not defined in thye Nigerian psyche

Huh?

Anyone who speaks like this doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.

Another example of this unfortunate brand of English:

I only use them when mofos like u run them mouth when it comes to religion.

Mo raye tiyen si. to' ba wu e, ko ma lo k'oyinbo. bimpe iwo nikan lo m'oyinbo. Bo ya sepe to maa n mu yen l'on da e la mu.

What the hell does that mean?

The key to a discussion is to talk a language both parties understand.

^ Look here screwball, i can say whatever the schmuck i want to say, be it in Latin, Greek, Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo, Efik! If you don't understand jack, then go suck your thumb in a corner. Or better still ask dennylove for interpretation.

Ko tu wa bami ma so' sokuso, alagbere.

go to kenya forum pls

this is nigerian forum

I dont believe in noisy prayers, i prefer to talk to God quietly. However, we africans (or at least, Nigerians) are generally noisy so it isn't like it is a church thing. our parties are very noisy too.

The most annoying part is when they pretend to be speaking in tongues, that shit annoys me when they lie, and when they act like say holy ghost take over their seh when they get home they go go ask mam ngozi for the money weh she owe them

Mr mayor what did i tell you about this thread? see? anyways Happy Newyear

Happy New Year to you Darling,have fun

na lie that gal is a devil s workshop!

@ Gbade.x
Hope u had a great xmas. I've had enough chops to last for 3 months. I'm still in the toilet, i live there now and it autoflushes every 10 minutes, but i'm out of air spray, send one 2 me if u can

@ Topic,

i'm the type who doesn't close my eyes when I pray and who also does not open his mouth. I don't like to clap and I don't like to dance. As a matter of fact the only type of churches that fit in are:

The Scientific Church of Christ and THe Seventh Day Adventists. (Adventists don't use drum set, strictly string instruments - no clapping, no dancing wotsoeva) The longest prayer session I ever witnessed in an Adventist Church lasted 10 minutes. (I've not been to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, neither have I been to the Assumpion or the Mormons but i'll do that sometime in 2007, I like to see things for myself! )

The fact that most churches don't feel comfortable until they have the best sound system operating "OUTSIDE" of the church is a huge disgrace. Since churches now register with the Federal Government as Companies, they should be compelled to install Sound Proof systems as well. I don't know much about mosques, but whenever they do their vigil or Asalatu, it's equally hell, i'm sure they inherited that from their Christian Brothers.

I stay in an Area where you have a Church for every 5 gates, Friday nights and Sunday Mornings are Off days for me. I can't sleep, I can't read, I cant even watch TV. I'm thinking of getting a 7,000 Watts subwoofer so I can listen to something personal or else, i'll have to listen to some kind of music/program I rarely dream of.

I'm not discriminating here, hey, if i attend your church and don't dance or sing, you have every right to walk me out
You'll have to tell me where Jesus/David danced in the church in the bible. Now we eat, and do all sorts of things in the premises, dotcom xtians sef? The Church is incomplete without joyful noises unto the Lord, Oga o.
