Not a fan. Many praise dance troupes tend to be of young women my age and they come in with the claim that they are dancing unto the Lord but the outfits and moves can be suggestive. You focus on the dancer, not the worship. Man should not seek praise but seek to praise God alone.
On the other side, I don't have a problem with mimes, for special events. But for every Sunday, I don't think you should have praise dancers/mimes.

Dancing...with the DEVIL!!!
Win for Dark Lord Prime!
What I don't understand is, even if there is a God, why does he need constant praise?
The character and portrayal of the Christian God reminds me of that 'nice guy' persona that is always obsessed with the woman which always turns her away. *That would be us*
Then he eventually snaps, kidnaps her, and keeps her in the basement. *Hell*
It's all very weird.
If you watch some lower-tier religious cable networks (I mean channels in the 200s and 300s), you can catch the Gospel mimes from time to time. Basically, someone will be singing about Jesus and several mimes will be on stage with the singer doing an interpretive mime. Their faces are painted and everything. And yes, it's one of the weirdest/funniest fucking things you will ever see.
Or just do a youtube search on "gospel mimes".
christian mimes; Invisible wall, invisible ladder, invisible god.
Also, Ia Ia Yog Sethis fthagn!
I don't have a problem with mimes
The final cementing proof that Rapture Ready is for the mentally ill.
Additionally, why does God want us to praise him all the time? Does he have low self-esteem?
I'm sure the "mimes" grew out of the earlier practice of having a sign-language interpreter signing-out the words of songs as they were being sung.
Which is also an insanely stupid practice. How many deaf people do you know that regularly attend choral concerts?
Yeah, you should only have a mime in once a month or so, because more than that is just too much crazy for eaglegreen.
"Many praise dance troupes tend to be of young women my age and they come in with the claim that they are dancing unto the Lord but the outfits and moves can be suggestive." Translation - "Those sluts give me a boner in church, so they're ungodly!"
Churches have dance troupes now? Where?
And exactly how suggestive are these outfits and moves? Are we talking lap dancer suggestive?
I'm not thinking of converting, just showing up for the wafers and wine :)
Q: Why do fundies not like sex?
A: It may lead to dancing.
HAW HAW HAW!
I'd love it if all fundies would become mimes. Like, permanently.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
