Holy Ghost Tees
 
http://www.holyghosttees.com/

Is it an icebreaker to witness to wear a shirt with "speaking in tongues" phrases on it or is it blaspheming?

I would think it would be OK as long as someone gives the interpretation.

very offensive to me - taking a very holy, sweet experience and making it cheap - i just don't like it!!!!!

tstew,

What would happen at your church if someone in your youth should up with one of those on?

I'm not a t-shirt wearer, especially if it has wording on it. Don't have bumper stickers on our vehicles or yard art on my lawn. LOL!

I think the t-shirts take the beauty and power away from the true operation of God's Spirit. :thumbsdown

While I don't like the idea, it's funny that I've heard those phrases before!!

To be honest people would probably think it was a joke.

I think Jesus would turn over their website and dump their server.

Just too funny all I can say about that..

Re: Holy Ghost Tees
 
The site even gives a 'definition' of each of the phrases....oh brother.

Re: Holy Ghost Tees
 
I am a tee-shirt wearer and I'm not opposed to witness wear,but I don't care for those.
The way they went about trying to put the words of a prayer language on the front is cheap to me.

Scott Hutchinson 10-20-2009 09:53 AM

Re: Holy Ghost Tees
 
Some of the ones like on this site I would approve of,and my daughters could wear stuff like this.

I didn't see that. That's crazy

I wonder who the interpretor was for the definitions...LOL

IMO......It strikes me as blasphemy.

Yes I wear such myself,only most I get come from thrift stores.
I do have some witness wear hats.

I guess so much for the "private prayer language" not so private anymore...

You know, my initial reaction to the whole concept was to shake my head and laugh and lump this in with all of the other people trying to turn a quick buck off of miracle waters and the such. However, after looking at more of their pictures and models, there is another aspect of this that is troubling. They are trying to sell sexiness in conjunction with the Holy Ghost Tees. That is troubling.
I saw one pic on their myspace page that I consider innappropriate to post here but here is a description from a blogger.

To add even more confusion to this collection of mixed-message shirts, HGT's Myspace page features a female model sporting a bare midriff and a micro-mini--with legs not closed enough, couples cuddled up together, and models that look more interested in Calvin Klein contracts than Christianity. Am I being harsh? Probably so. But it is only because something that is considered sacred to me and many others is turning into an addition to the gallery of sacrilege

This in its entirety is not funny to me.

Exactly tstew!

I agree with Diggin'!

Never in a million years would I have believed if if I hadn't seen it. That is seriously grieving. Wow.....no smart remarks or anything funny to say. Just shock. And hurt. And I'm saying that from the perspective of one who doesn't speak in tongues and doesn't really understand the value of it (not trying to start a fight, just trying to establish my perspective).

I'm not sure if it's blasphemy but it's as close as anything I've seen.

I've hit upon a great idea since Christmas is coming up,we'll take up a collection and buy the admin team of AFF a Holy Ghost tee each.
Renda will love hers.

Can you link the myspace page? I have no problem with the way the models appear on the page RG posted, but the supposed tongues......wow.

Even in the old UPC days, I always had a problem when someone would command, "Let's pray in the Spirit" and everyone would, on command, go for it. I could, right now, do what would be considered tongues. But memorized gibberish isn't tongues. Maybe that's another thread. I just think it's the equivalent of what the Corinthians were doing with communion in chapter 11 of the first book. They were turning it into recreation and a joke.

Agreed, that is the first thing I noticed. Not Christian like in my opinion at all. When I see midriff showing on my girls, I rip the Tshirt. I'm easily annoyed by that stuff. :foottap

Doesn't that just make it worse?

I've got about as much use for one of those shirts as I do for hog dip and a flea collar... but at least for these kids you can probably say, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

I can't say the same for those who inspired the shirts - the Benny Hinn style wack-a-doodles, that guy in Florida who was smacking seniors in the back of the head before dumping his wife and running off with some gal he met, the list goes on; not to mention the dupes who feed money into the dupers.

They all share the blame.

Maybe if more people treated the experience as something sacred, more critics of the experience would at least treat the subject with a bit of respect as well.

It's hard to blame some wise acre for wanting to make a buck himself off of the foolishness of others.

Re: Holy Ghost Tees
 
Just that fact that they have catchy "prophetically inspired" phrases does not speak well of them.

Two thumbs down.

You are so right PO
If one that has the HG needs a t shirt, a bumber sticker, a fish on their car or a bible on the dash board of their car for an ice breaker something is wrong.

At $18 a pop plus shipping, not matter what they have on them, I ain't buyin'. I balk at paying $10 for T-Shirt. Guess I'm just too cheap! I can get custom T-Shirts made for $8 a piece w/o selling them a honda!!! LOL

The pages and covers of "a bible on the dash board of their car" are too soft to use as an effective ice breaker. It's probably better just to pay the $3.99 or whatever and get a good solid ice scraper from the grocery store.
