Child Preachers

This is from the Huffington Post, so I didn't break the link- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/1 ... 28208.html

I saw a clip of this kid preaching this morning on our local Fox channel and was kind of disgusted. The actions of the kid are so over the top, it's not funny.

Is this a male equivalent of the Pageant Mom syndrome?

The child featured in this video isn't the only kid out there who's "preaching." Check youtube, there are others.

Is he actually saying anything that an adult preacher would say? I've seen news clips, but it seemed like he was repeating himself.

I've been so some Baptist churches where the adult preacher DID just repeat himself. One Easter morning at my Grandparents' Freewill Baptist church the preacher just kept saying "And they rolled that stone away and he wasn't in there and I'M GLAD HE WASN'T IN THERE!!!!" Over and over and over and over. It was like he got stuck on a loop. I felt like we should stomp the floor like you do with a record player but he was already jumping up and down around the room so I guess that probably wouldn't have helped.

Aw, I find that really sad. Reminds me of the lovely young lad on Jesus Camp who preached snippets of nonsense too, and was hailed as a preacher.

Mind you, I too went to a church where the preachers repeated crap over and over and that was not funny, when they were invited back time and again!

It's mimicry, plain and simple. Look at the video of him as an infant. No real words involved, just tone and motion.

      And yes, the Church actually has a blessing for beer.

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
