    The devil will always be a liar.

    As stated previously, since when has pole dancing become a noble profession or now an act of worship? I am not going to swing my 41 year old big azz on a pole like I am some monkey. Black people should run from poles. Didn’t enough of our ancestors hang from poles?? Has anyone ever heard of the term “lynching”? Google it. Leave the poles for the monkeys and snakes.

    I watched 1:32 seconds of that phuckery … repented .. then had to repent again for using the word phuckery ..opps imma have to repent again ..

    I’m with BK .. Jesus be some baby oil on the pole… so the next time he twirls .. he can fling around a hit the wall …

    oh lord…. that might be what you call a thug in atl. because we know what resides in atl. here in the north click, i can’t see no thug/ or as we use to call our thug, tiny who was all of 6’8 350 lbs twirling on a pole to a gospel song. im gonna send the church mothers over to him to pray that demon out of him…..

    SIGH!!!

    My people…my people…

    *cough*…

    It could have been MUCH WORSE!!!

    I understand where he was coming from…truly I do…

    And until 3:54…I was right there with him….then he went to the top of the pole…and I started flash backs up “Pimps up/Hos Down”…and I REALLY don’t need to do that while I’m listening to gospel music…

    I’m just sayin…

    Lord…we got “thugs” swingng on poles to gospel…”straight” (YEAH RIGHT!) men issuing grinding challenges while wearing red panties..the church mothers can NOT help these dudes Tee Cee. They might try to strangle them with their pearls or drown em in the pool they baptize folks in…SMH

    @Namia umm thats a bit of a stretch. Those artist help reach youth and teens. I work with them so I know. There is enough room for new age and traditional gospel.

    @ Daisy

    I understand Naima’s point and your point as well. I don’t think its a stretch though. I understand that their trying to reach the youth, but sometimes the message can get lost, when its gospel, gifted as hip hop. I’m just saying…it doesn’t bother me either way.

    *********

    You speak the truth Naima.

    In Romans 12:2, Paul said ‘Be not conformed to this world. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind’. When you mix the two up (the church and the world), you are bound to get some confused saints, or folks, or whoever they are.

    JustSayin says:

    Maybe I’m oversimplifying this..But it’s a pole..He’s dancing..Which as I’m sure many of you know is an acceptable form of worship in churches now a days.. The pole is a prop..Granted it is one that has become synonymous with strippers..But it’s a prop nonetheless. .It’s like using a chair.. a banner..etc… I’ll admit..At first glance it does appear to be a bit inappropriate because of the “pole”..But it’s not like he was gyrating…He somehow managed to keep it tasteful I think…

    I speak the TRUTH as well! I can quote(I also try to live the word) the word of God as well it also says go forth and spread the word of GOD and SAVE souls! That can be done in more ways than ONE. I see why folks are quick to talk about CHURCH FOLKS! Good grief. So HOLY that they are what NO earthly good! That boy dancing on the pole has NOTHING to do with new age/hip hop gospel. I would rather have my teen CRUNK at a Canton Jones/Ty Tribett concert than a real deal hip hop concert ANY DAY!

    lol…. well @bk2atl…. i think the church mothers i was referring to are like 90 yrs old now, or dead…. if they was anything like my grand mother she would have came with her braided switches, a Rev C.L. Franklin album, you know Aretha’s daddy, and her bible to preach a sermon after the album finished as she beat the devil out of you, until he gave up the ghost. lololol because im sure grand ma Tomeka aint that concerned. lol

    Daisy says:

    @Charles I am sure when I have kids they will listen to wordly music and attend concerts(I do as well) but I also want them to know the word of God as well. So if hip hop gospel helps them do that then so be it. I said in my original post there was room for BOTH new age and traditional gospel. When Kirk 1st came out ppl tried to tear him down and nobody know how many souls he has saved and touched with his music just an ex.

    Naima says:

    Whats wrong with kids today, why must they always be spoken to in “their” language, why don’t folks force them to step up and grow. When I was a teen I had no issue listening to the Clark Sisters or the Winans, I didn’t go why don’t they sound like such and such rapper

  54. 54
    Krysi J says:

    Ok Naima….cuz John P. Key had me on point…..Grandma liked those old old church hymns…so John P. Kee, and the Winans was a step up! I was so thankful for them!

    bk2atl says:

    I think the thing that has most people unsure about him dancing on a pole to gospel is that people always equate the pole to the strippers, so it’s kind of hard to remove that image long enough to take this type of “praise” dancing seriously. Plus the fact that at one point in the video, dude was practically spread eagle upside down on the pole…..Just my 0.02

    What about bringing kids up to a higher standard?? There in lies the problem – there is no minimum floor of conduct.

    I can’t stand Contemporary Gospel music. I don’t want to drop it like it is hotb for Jesus.

    @ Miss Daisy, you and husband need to stop spending your tithes and offering on porn. LOL. Keep the porn out of your bedroom. If I need to lighten up, then you need to clean up.

    Daisy says:

    Attymom I know your church well the kids get crunk as well as praise n worship so again I ask what’s the problem. Standards are set high for teens at my churh has nothing to do with hip hop gospel or not they know the word as well and can go on mission trips and minister Gods word. So I have yet to see the problem. Since you are a perfect parent I’m sure u will let me know.

    I couldn’t watch too much of this because it made me dizzy seeing Lil’ Twizzler twirl so, so much – that’s pretty much all he did.

    I can understand the evolution of gospel music and praise & worship, but POLE PRAISE DANCING? I say no. “You come down off that pole Rufus! In the name of Jesus!”

    Let’s see…. would any of you all take him to Family and Friends day at church and allow him to be introduced as the praise dancer brought by Brother/Sister Such & Such, and sit there smiling while he sets up his pole in front of the Pastor, Deacons, Ushers, Mother board and congregation? Now THAT will tell the story. :-)

    Miss Daisy, you are correct. I left that church for a minute. I don’t agree with it at all, but my husband likes the church. I just returned to New Mercies about a month ago.

    Besides, my family refuses to become Jehovah Witnesses. So I am stuck at New Mercies. But Pastor Curney can preach and is soft on the eyes. Okay, Satan, get behind me. LOL.

    @Attymom I am far from a nun just dont have anybody in my life to tempt me..lol The men in the A suck in more ways than one..lol I still don’t see the problem with kids getting CRUNK for God as well as having traditional praise and worship. Our teen dance ministry has set the church on fire before to traditional songs and they will get crunk and do a mary mary or Ty Tribet song as well. As long as they are saved and know the word I am fine with it.

    @ Daisy
    I don’t know if you drink but if you do. Girl get you a nice bottle of something and have a date with yourself. And wake up with a smile. And don’t wait til your birthday. That puts to much pressure on the situation. Order it online, have it delivered to you. This way its harder to back out of it.

    (I hope I don’t sound like I’m trying to talk you into something against your beliefs)

    @ Kym

    Alright now. That’s what I’m talking about. A girl @ my job just started it. She was having a hard time meeting someone. She said out of 3 she found one with potential. If me and my s/o don’t work out (bite my tounge) I would do it myself.
