Just spent two hours talking with a PAW minister

[Sept5SavedTeen]

On the topic of the PAW... the first Apostolic assembly that I ever went to was a PAW assembly in Orlando, FL. I was still in the AG, but I had been invited by a PAW minister and I went. I was vacationing during this time and went in a pair of shorts and a polo. I found the church service a bit strange in that everyone was "shockamooing" and having a wild time and that after two hours there was no preaching. The offering was a "hold-up" style where we weren't let go until $250 was counted up in the offering after tithes. I thought the assembly was a bit strange, and I haven't been to a PAW assembly since- looking back I thank GOD that he did not let that first bad experience keep me away from all Apostolics, because if that were the case, where would I be?

GOD BLESS!

OH yeah, they'll count the money as it's given. and give the amt to the leader and if it's not enough then you get hounded.

See the trick is if you plan on giving 20 take 4 fives and that way you can give each of the multiple offerings.

Yeah, I guess that'd work!

I've seen some down right dirty tricks and things done
in their offering taking too. I think in the days to come,
a lot of these preachers will have to think twice about
using scare tactics and gimmicks. A lot of people have
become leary and the young generation is turned off by it.


I was at a convention once and the Bishop told the congregation
that he was not allowing the choir off the bus to sing Til he got
the amount he asked for. the choir had to sit outside on the bus
Til he gave the cue.

I was a COGIC conference once and they had a $50 line.
everyone in the $50 line would receive a prophecy that night.
I am not kidding.

I could go on and on with this one
