Not every time that I go off about preaching am I ranting at you, Jeo. If your preacher doesn't do these things, then he isn't doing it wrong, at least not on these counts. I did not have you in mind when I wrote this post. 
There are plenty of churches like this, though, from coast to coast.

to assume that every post you do is preaching at me. Granted, I'm pretty full of myself (its hard not to be when you're me)
however, I do find it so wierd that there are churches like this. It seems to backwards and archaic to me (like the south).Just make sure that you're not getting all puffed up with pride as well. The peeps here at RAFO like to toss their praise & panties at you...

There are a lot of churches where I live that do this.
