SekaniSG:What you will do it wait for their preaching moment and put your own music. Make sure you mp or whatever you are using the play music is loud enough to confuse them. Do it every time they are preaching or having a low key programe. They will be the ones to come and complain to you and then you give them condition. 3 Likes |

President2001:Are they the ones to feed my spirit with such noise. How did you even come to the conclusion that the spirit needs such noise to grow. Such noises are the reason some people have decided they are never going to church. What if I live close to church and I'm having a quiet moment with my God. Any na by making noise them take dey know who get spirit wey dey grow? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Back when I lived in a military barrack, we had two churches facing our house, and a Mosque closely beside. The churches which happened to be Catholic and Anglican, hardly ever made anyone uncomfortable. Omo na the Mosque carry shege look us for eye dah year. The distance was just a few yards away, so you can imagine. In the morning, noise; afternoon, noise; night, noise; during fasting, worse. The makaranta kids didn't make it any easier with the consistent chanting and all. Person hear am sha 1 Like |

Mathew 6:6-8 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 1 Kings 18:26-29,36-38 [26]So they prepared one of the bulls and placed it on the altar. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning until noontime, shouting, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no reply of any kind. Then they danced, hobbling around the altar they had made. [27]About noontime Elijah began mocking them. “You’ll have to shout louder,” he scoffed, “for surely he is a god! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself. Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!” [28]So they shouted louder, and following their normal custom, they cut themselves with knives and swords until the blood gushed out. [29]They raved all afternoon until the time of the evening sacrifice, but still there was no sound, no reply, no response. [36]At the usual time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, “O lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command. [37]O lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.” [38]Immediately the fire of the lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the trench! . |

Leaving closed to a church is even better than leaving closed to a mosque , leaving closed to a mosque is diverstating, it's even more diverstating when you don't go out very early in the morning, which mean before your waking up time you will surely wake up when their prayers will start , they will be your early morning alarm clock till the day you move out of that area......

After NYSC i decided to leave my parents ooo and rented a self con simply because i dey always quarrel with my old man( pikin wey no well from belle). Agent didnt tell me i share a fence with a church ooo. Vigil is twice in a week and the remaining days nah fellowship. Every day FORNICATION FORNICATION and this was torturing me emotionally and physically. Talked to co-tenant and they were tired of complaining to both our landlord and the church pastor. Someone told me to drag the church to human right but i would rather let them be the one to take me to human right. After much thought, the devil gave me a master strategy. I bought a very loud rechargeable speaker (Bose) Found a good porn site( redtube.com) and was waiting for their night vigil. They first started with praise and worship and then i realized their speaker was louder than mine, i just waited for them to start preaching. As soon as everywhere was silent probably waiting for the pastor to commence sermon, I connected the Bluetooth speaker to my phone and looked for a loud porn movie. Am very sure every man in that church and my compound enjoyed a free erection that night. Everybody was knocking on my door like the house was on fire. The next morning they reported to landlord association. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

I can imagine your frustration. I don’t know what goes through their collective heads. Is it that the louder they are, the more the devil will fear them or God will love them more. Insane MISSCONGENIALITY: 1 Like |

Amotolongbo: But you never complained to the Alfa. Typical of you "Christians". And Seun wouldn't even give you the privilege to complain on Nairaland because you have to swear an oath and prove your allegiance to Allah to create a thread. Don't you think there's a problem somewhere? Those on suit and tie always seem more approachable (easy targets) than those on jalamia and 14-inch long beards, isn't? 1 Like |

cococandy:They think God is deaf like Baal. The prophets of Baal shouted, screamed and even cut themselves but Baal didn't listen nor helped them, but Elijah only whispered a few words and God answered him. They won't see that part of the bible. They won't even see where the sinner and the pharasee went into the temple to pray, while the sinner was sobber and even ashamed to say his prayers out loud, the pharasee was praying loud to let the sinner know that he was a righteous man and wanted everyone to know that. But then God knew who made a genuine prayer between the two of them. Also, they won't see that part of the bible. Even through out the life of Jesus there was nowhere that he used loud noise. Even the feeding of the 5000 he didn't use the public address system and we even went out od the city before he stated his sermon. These people won't see that part. They will be 10 in a small room and still need a public address system to speak to themselves..and they will.not just keep the speakers inside their church but outside to face people around going about their own businesses. That's why I can never attend any of such churches that have no respect for other people. 1 Like |
