I wont listen, until I am needing something to help me fall asleep....
[Id find myself looking at scriptures and thinking, wha? huh? where are you going with that one? ]
I could never understand what the purpose of all those talks did for people in general.
when giving a talk, the material in my opinion, should ALWAYS appeal to a total stranger who has just walked in and sat down. totally understandable, can be applied immediately, helpful and joyful to hear. A person should walk away feeling good, not guilty, fearful or anxious.
what keeps someone going back to a specific church or congregation?
usually what is being said from the stage...
if no one can make sense of it, why bother listening.
the fact is, every talk they give is so mysterious and single minded, the sole purpose of putting a burden on your mind.
with no focus on how humans can better themselves for the good of your fellow man. they use very few if any scriptures and they most always have nothing to do with the idea they are trying to get across.
[well, not that the poorly assembled ancient book has any real use to it accept to shock a person....lol ]
