Those short, choppy "AH"s

Praise God, that this type of preaching is becoming less and less common here in South Central Texas. No wonder the younger generation doesn't want to go to church.

 

Once I saw Paula White on TBN and she definitely has this method down (called Tennessee Wind Sucking where I come from). Look at it this way. It gives you time to disgest the message as you go along instead of getting behind and missing the blessing.

 

Oh my word!, you are absolutely correct..... that's where I've seen and heard THAT...... and on AM radio too sometimes. But I do remember wanting to listen to what Paula White was saying but was too distracted by all those plastic UHs and AHs that I couldn't tolerate it and changed the channel. I mean how could you possibly take that serious..... well......... besides the fact that she is a woman.

 

Ted Kennedy isn't even a preacher and he is known as the Wizard of ahs'. They will play a segment of a speach he has recently given on a local am radio station and if you can count the ahs' accurately you will win a mug or something.

 

Bothers the fool out of me, too. Hearing someone preach using three to five word phrases also annoys me. Another annoyance: I listened to a local pastor pray recently. Not feeling very spiritual at the moment, I timed his prayer...it was three minutes long. To make matters more interesting, I counted the number of times he used the name "God" (or Father, Jesus, Lord) during that 180 second prayer. Would you believe 42 times?

 

I also dislike a preacher saying, "You Know" after every 4 words.

 

I have heard individuals (not pastors) praying while saying Lord, Father, Jesus, etc. waaaaay too many times. I believe it!

 

Ah preachers annoy me.

 

ah, ah, ah, ah, And that old preacher ah, ah, said ah, ah,ah, ah, "My stomach ah, ah,ah, is ah, ah, ah,ah, ah, a chicken ah, ah,ah, ah, cemetary.
