I was at a TD Jakes service last night and wrote a commentary - stop by and give me your thoughts ! thanks

* * * I WAS AT A JAKES SERVICE LAST NIGHT * * *


( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( My Commentary ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )


Last Night I went to a Service in Oakland. Bishop jakes was the speaker.
it was held at the Oracle Colisium. i estimate there was about 20,000.

my first **Shock** came when I went to go inside for church, I was told that i had to have a Ticket!!! the ticket was $10.50. so is this the new trend?? collecting tickets at the door to go to a church service????

Let me first say, when the Bay area does it they do it up right! The Love center Choir and praise team provided the music - Their Choir is unbelievable! (i could have done with out the praise flags though).
Then Tramaine Hawkins sung and tore it up! they had to drag her off the stage she was overcome lol ! Then Donnie McClurkin sung an old hymn " standing on the promises" and testified how he is no longer in good health- Diabetes.

AND THEN!! Bishop Bloomer gets up to take up an Offering -he must have taken an hour you would not believe the trickery this Man used to pawn money from people- unreal.he demanded 1 million in the offering and had floks chanting..." something about adding another Zero " to their bank account if they gave.
my Next **SHOCK** came when they started dragging Huge garbage cans from the back and placing them in front of the pulpit!! you should have seen them stuffing cash in those garbage cans. the people cam eby the thousands to give! THEN! Bishop Hines(from Milwalkee) gets up in the mic and says " Don't you people even think about coming up here asking for change!!" was like Whaaaat!! Not everyone was falling for this. you should have heard all them color fok talking about money grubbin' preachers OUT LOUD! i was laughing my head off! they were too funny talking about how the banks close at 1 pm on saturday and how those preachers will be rushing to the banks first thing in the morning! lol

Then Jakes preached- He did okay. pretty much his usual message of encouragment. everything was fine UNTIL!!! he started taking up yet another offering!!! I was like " it's time to go".

all you cons will be surprised and saddend to hear this- while i was still in the lobby, he also made an alter call and led folks in the sinners prayer lol.
also, he ask the audience to be watching this monday as he co-host the Dr phil show. He seemed to be implying that the church world should be the ones on Daytime TV.
