Tazed Church Tambourine Player (L)
 

There are a few over-zealous tambourine players I would have loved to have seen this done to.... or at least an electric cattle prod....

Wow, quite a story!

There have been a few times I would have loved to tasered somebody playing the tambourine. Few things are as obnoxious as one or more people in an audience "helping" the band along with loud tambourine playing.

I know it is said to be worship but it is so obnoxious and draws so much attention to the person doing it (while taking away from the music) I have a hard time ascribing pure motives to most people who insist on doing this.

It had been many years since I had to listen to some goofy tambourine in an audience but a few months ago a lady visiting our church brought hers with her and went to town on it during praise and worship. It was very distracting. Luckily she only did it two services.

See, now I don't mind it if they know how to play a tambourine. When I would preach back in the day at a Church of God in Christ, you'd have at least a dozen of them in the place, and they all knew how to play it. I even saw one young lady pick one up... and when she couldn't play it to please the older sister next to her, it was taken away and demonstrated properly. So, I love a tamborine... but only when done right... and unfortunately, many of the ones in the white churches don't have a clue of what "played right" is.

cmon on now brotha we gots soul up in Here!

You know the ability to play instruments isnt based on color

edit

I heard a black preacher, He was talking about testimony of a exorcism. He stated the demon was played in cause of rap music and all that hip hop garbage, and had to be played out with christian music.................

the demon was played in? and had to be played out? is that how we supposed to play right?

I don't doubt that there are some people out there who enjoy the sound of a dozen different tambourines playing at the same time. I would venture to guess though that you are few and far between. You might also try setting up some chalkboards in the sanctuary and urge people to run their fingernails over them. If you like a dozen tambouoines playing you very well might enjoy group chalk board scratching! That all of that tambourine playing will hinder more people in getting something from a service than help.

My favorite tambourine story is one told to me by a boss I had while in Bible College who was a backslidden UPC Pentecostal. He told me about when he was in church visiting a local independent OP church pastored by a woman (who turned out to be gay , another story!).

He said that this was one of those tambourine playing churches with fast loud music and quite a few tambourine players giving it all they had. He said that during a particularly fast song one player had banged and shook their tabmourine so hard it came apart and those little round discs of medal went flying everywehre. I have this mental picture of this killer tambourine t hat brings a smile to my face when I think about it!

This person had some kind of medical / mental problem at the root of her behavior.

Seems to me it could have been handled differently.

Re: Tazed Church Tambourine Player (L)
 

Of course you do....

But they asked her to stop, she didn't, church security (deputy) escorts her out, and she starts to refuse and act up..... taze her, a couple of times if need be. She should learn, act like a fool... get tazed!!!!!!!!

So we want to taze the mentally disabled?
I guess it's ok as long as it's done outside of the church, and not inside the church? :)
