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.
Kymystry

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 …
starr

U know i was afraid to watch it.

But dare i say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
teecee

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…..
Daisy

@Attymom I will swing from a pole for my HUSBAND I sure will! Lighten up.
iscream

@ Daisy you were right we would agree on something again.
Naima

I blame so called gospel artists who have adopted hip hop lingo to sell gospel records, they have opened the gate for this
Lala11_7

Okay…

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…
bk2atl

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
Daisy

@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.
pinky2083

Sandra you late..
Krysi J

Yea, Im definitely NOT going to watch. I don’t even want dat shyt in my head.

@Pinky…where else was the video posted…I feel like I saw it somewhere before, but I can’t EVER watch the videos posted on Dime Wars.

I am so glad I can’t watch videos at work….
Charles

Must dudes in the church are very “HOW YOU DOIN”

Its ironic
http://jsstm1.ning.com ursmyle4me

I can’t watch it, and based on the comments, I need not to. The last thing I need is to be singing in the choir and they sing this song, and I picture this..

wow.
Charles

Also people are normally hypcritical when it comes to religion so bible thumpers should not point fingers
starr

@ 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.

@Pinky…that’s what I thought. You know Mo be on it! LOL
JustSayin

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…

JustSayin
Daisy

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!
Charles

@37

Wheres your gravatar

and AGREED
teecee

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

believe me baby, talking bout the kinda change

Im gonna do it

from a boy to a man, Like Barack and his plan

Im gonna do it

If this is my LaaAAsT ChAAAaaaNCeE! YeeeeEAH, Yeah”
Daisy

@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.
Daisy

Krysi GinuFINE was on TJMS this am and he sounded to good cant wait to get his cd. LOVE his new song
coaretained

I can’t see it.. not sure I want to… dance IS a form of praise… the pole DOES have negative connotations…still not sure that’s how i want to end my work day so I will not go searching for this video. Thugs need not pole dance in timbs and wife beaters ( from ya’lls description)

Is it good common sense that would tell someone not to do a striptease to this song? What is this cat missing that tells him not to do something like this? What is it????

Naima

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
Krysi J

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

I don’t see this “trend” catching on in the churches anyway. I don’t think there will be any poles in the fellowship hall ever…so we can stop clutching our pearls now. lol
Daisy

Naime kids do step up in church today the teens at my church can minister with the best of them why must it be one or the other y not both if the kids are praising n worship God y does it matter
coaretained

^^^^^ zactly.. isn’t that the point?? That’s like asking folks to read 10,000 year old writing… you have to adapt and improvise.

OK BK .. that ain’t happening .. well maybe in the 2nd Baptist Pentacostal Cornerstone Taberbacle AME Church of the Rock

If I wasn’t able to listen to John P Key and nem….I would’ve went crazy tryin to read and sang dem old hymns all week!!

I guess thats how da churrin feel. Well, whatever works I guess.

I couldn’t get “past”…sorry for the typo..it’s quittin time
bk2atl

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
Daisy

Its the God in me!

Lol @ People.com referring to stripper poles as “sports poles.”
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

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.

Sorry for typos. I hate typing from my blackberry.

There is nothing wrong with dancing the pole for Jesus…If one’s heart is in the right place… Prasie God!!!!!
Daisy

Wow that is far from porn I do not need to clean up anything that’s like doing a striptease for my hubby when I get one and my friends call me a prude I have found somebody that has me beat lol
Daisy

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.
pointhimout

i dont get pole dancing to a real gospel song. had he poled to kirk franklin, i’d ask “whats the problem?” did the timbs and dreds make him a thug? comical.

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.

@Ice no, nada, nothing..:-(

@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.

Steve Harvey uses black people meet for his radio date segement. The couple this morning hit it off. I am not a fan of on line dating although I know ppl do meet and get married. I just dont think its romantic..lol I dont want my kids to ask where did you and mommy meet and I say on line. I want a cute story to tell. I have several friends who love it and have tried for yrs to get me to come to the other side. Just can’t do it. I am glad some ppl do find love though!
iscream

@ 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.
