Over the past decade I have noticed that black folks have left the church.
In droves.
It jus aint as sacred as it used to be.
One of the stereotypes of blax is "how much we luv some damn church".
It seem like that grip the church had is now almost gone.
Yall think its jus society as a whole losing touch with things once considered sacred
or
Folks jus tired of church shenanigans ???

    ? , it's ATM's in church. If they don't think it's sacred, why the ? should I?

    I guess ? skipped over the part where Jesus went ham on ? for hustlin' in church.

    i don't think it's less now but I'm not into church so that's only my opinion.

    eddie long still got followers. creflo still got has flowers.
    people don't leave their churches no matter how ? up it is... and if they do, they go to another one. church people are church people.

    however i think people who have never been into church are less likely to get into it nowadays for a lot of reasons.

    there is a lot of shenanigans in the church true. at the end of the day everyone of us is still a sinner, so what do you expect?

    and people leaving church is a myth you made up i think, i heard america is, in contrast to its friends in western europe, getting more religious.

    Only logical that now more then every proof of a ? existance espically Yaheweh is at an all time low. More people are going to leave because they have nothing to keep them coming back (Promise of Heaven, Fear of Hell)

    A fish out of water is still a fish, but it's a dead one. Same thing with a christian who is not in church. Yeah, you can still be a believer but you will never grow, develop, and mature as a christian out of church.

    Batman had robin and even the Lone ranger had tonto, so how can a christian actually believe that they can be all that they can be without the fellowship of other believers? There are no secret service Christians. Your only setting yourself up for disaster, especially in these last days!

    "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25

    The days that are coming will be TERRIBLE and those who try to serve Jesus Christ on their own will be cast into the meat grinder. Amen.

    Theres Shenanigans everywhere.. the thing is people across the board have become increasingly indifferent.....expirementing athiest.. i guess the "hassle and the hustle" of church community across the board has a part in weary parishoners.

    You dont have to goto church to get ? anyway. Most of the people that go to church and alot that deal with the running of the church lost their damn "religion" anyhow. So why fake he funk. I have a hard time all these scandalous mofos that do goto church and are intimately involved are believers anyway.. Half of the ? that goes down seems to happen without a care in the world.. Surely people are not ignorant enought to pave the road to hell 6 days a week.. and take a brick back on sunday with repentance.............




    oh wait.

    there are more churches than schools/parks/liquors stores combined in the neighborhood I'm researching right now...
    somebody going to them ? ...

    This...................

    I dont know where you at but Megachurches popping up like liquor store and ? shop used too. Pastoring to the people is the new hustle. Really now because the new thing is non-denominational (splchk) or not affiliating with a church body. Hell even then ? is corrupt!
