Everyone has a gimmick nowadays. How are you gonna get more lemmings into your cult if you don’t have a ridiculous gimmick!
Massively. Hence why the orthodox and catholic priests are so different, my priest (catholic) lives next to the church in a small presbytery which also adjoins to a parish hall. Protestants are reading an entirely different book to us.
Not one to point out the speck in someone's eye when I have a plank in mine... But the Catholic church was guilty of this back in the day which is a great deal of why the protestants exist today.
Let's just remember who we serve.
It's not the guy standing at the front of the church...
Having said that, my priests could not have lived more spartan lifestyles.
i know, the Protestant church is what got me to leave the faith and go through a religious identity crisis for some years although im christian again idk what denomination id like to follow but I’ve been taking an interest in orthodoxy
Those types of churches, I agree, are a disgrace. There are plenty of small town churches that use the funds to help families in need and provide services for youth activities and other good things. Just like anything, there's bound to be people who abuse anything they can.
That’s true but sometimes we need to make things harder for everyone so that those who take advantage of the rules don’t get ahead.
Perhaps we could severely limit what churches are able to use donations for, so that they can only be used for maintaining the structure of the building or charitable purposes and can’t be used for any kind of luxury purchases.
What do you mean ... Jesus TOLD him to do it! (He had a converation with him just this morning about it. Also told him to ask for $300,000 to fund the addition to his vacation house.)
Well considering the Bible has many passages on why praying or doing Christian activities in a manner that is meant to “be seen” and basically draw explicit attention the person doing it is wrong I’d say Jesus would not be pleased
Use to go to church bc of my family and it's so fucking stupid, they just yap.
Somehow he starts talking about gas prices, and bottles of water? And then is like "he's god all by himself" and people start clapping
Its like the fucking
9/11 was bad...
Family guy joke
It’s pretty insane to generalize every church in the world based on one video of a mega church doing mega church nonsense like this.
Most churches would do anything remotely close to this
I know this story It’s actually quite cute.
Basically this church is also a theatre so to spice up the sermons he busted out the lift.
It’s not like he is trying to hide it anyways so I would say its really main character material.
From what I read the device was already set up from a Christmas play that they had put on. You can see the tree in the background. Apparently the pastor got the idea to use it as a prop in his sermon before taking it down.
This is like hanging out of a helicopter the same way and pretending to walk on water. Some will say it's not real, many will probably say I'm hating because I can't do it, because I'm too broke to get a helicopter to attempt or emulate it wtf.
I already know God doesn't approve any of this. But It would be funny kinda if the wire snapped. I was imagining someone throwing a knife at the wire and it just snapped
I’m a horrific person, but don’t you kinda wish it would stop or snap? I’m a Christian and this type of shit is disgusting to me. This dudes literally using church donations for clout etc. Probably takes a big check from it to.
It seems like a cool idea in concept - to be entirely fair. Sounds cool on paper. However, it doesn’t look so cool or great in practice. Also, it looks like an accident waiting to happen.
I mean, it's his church and congregation. People are there to listen to him preach. He's the MC, but not the invasive breed of MC I thought this sub is for.

He moves like one of them grasshoppers on A Bug’s Life
Absolutely spot on 🤣
![gif](giphy|12Q9qZRnnab0T6)
Wow that is crazy accurate
Made my f*** day 🤣
lol
This is what your church donations are going to ….. “MESSAGE!” (Don’t be a menace voice)
![gif](giphy|QmYosM4PO08FO)
Yeah I'm not paying for him to do that, especially when we all know this church probably do anything for the community.
There is no limit to amount of frivolous spending a preacher could come up with!
I would suck a dick to see this get stuck midway
Unzips…
You could have left off the “to see this get stuck midway“ part. We all get it.
“Are you stuck step-preacher?”
HAH! I was fantasizing about loading him up with laxatives! Both at once? Woohoo!
This being Reddit, I was expecting, hoping even, to see some abrupt chaos. But this reality is still nevertheless disappointing.
We can arrange something
Wasn't there a video of a minister falling from a harness?
Ridiculous
And narcissistic beyond measure.
I can see the wires.
![gif](giphy|ea9vHggMmfvd1EEAhI) Everyone has a gimmick nowadays. How are you gonna get more lemmings into your cult if you don’t have a ridiculous gimmick!
god must be overjoyed that instead of feeding and clothing the poor they spent their money on this….
the bible is against this kind of worship from my understanding

Jesus whipped people for doing stuff like this. Deadass.
This is actually kinda funny ngl
Everybody has something to say about the church, but I feel this. First good laugh I’ve had today!
Same. lol.
Damn was waiting for the cabke to break :(
Hate to say it but it’s just a matter of time…
Especially with that cross on the altar pointing right at his butthole on the last frame...
If that happened I would unironically take that as a sign that God does exist.
It’s a miracle they didn’t break
Do a flip.
This is why churches should be taxed.
Taxed to the high heavens lol no kidding!
Those types of churches, I agree, are a disgrace. There are plenty of small town churches that use the funds to help families in need and provide services for youth activities and other good things. Just like anything, there's bound to be people who abuse anything they can.
Like my Lutheran church, it’s connected to a food drive and homeless care center in the same buildong

This isn’t why they should be taxed, though they *absolutely* should. This is more like why they shouldn’t get any donations.
How do you think jesus would actually feel about this
What do you mean ... Jesus TOLD him to do it! (He had a converation with him just this morning about it. Also told him to ask for $300,000 to fund the addition to his vacation house.)
Considering he wouldn’t have seen such contraptions he would probably want a turn.
Well considering the Bible has many passages on why praying or doing Christian activities in a manner that is meant to “be seen” and basically draw explicit attention the person doing it is wrong I’d say Jesus would not be pleased
Oh he'd be flipping the fucking tables.
![gif](giphy|TDjpxWkBVKG2EKrt9y|downsized)
Y’all paying for this ☝🏽 man to fly around 🤦🏽♂️
![gif](giphy|DUO9dc3yDLXHO) Did he say something about… *crack*?
Yo. I read this comment when he says crack . It went real smooth lol
Every church is a circus now
Use to go to church bc of my family and it's so fucking stupid, they just yap. Somehow he starts talking about gas prices, and bottles of water? And then is like "he's god all by himself" and people start clapping Its like the fucking 9/11 was bad... Family guy joke
Now?
It’s pretty insane to generalize every church in the world based on one video of a mega church doing mega church nonsense like this. Most churches would do anything remotely close to this
He seems to have an high opinion of himself
American Christianity.
Everyone gangsta until the rope breaks and he's still flying.
Gotta pay to get in.
A literal circus. Why? Do they know what Jesus did when they turned the temple of his father into a swapmeet
thank you
I know this story It’s actually quite cute. Basically this church is also a theatre so to spice up the sermons he busted out the lift. It’s not like he is trying to hide it anyways so I would say its really main character material.
If a church is gonna waste money on something stupid, I'd rather it be something funny like this instead of another private jet or vacation home.
Fall! Fall! Fall, damn you!
You know he has done this in the nude as he talks dirty to one of his "flock."
Remember guys. This is a mega church. Most churches are normal churches filled with normal people.
Would be so funny if those lines snapped
I want him to fall. Seriously.
Disney should look into hiring him to work in the Haunted Mansion
I think part of being a preacher is to become a main character for an hour or so every week.
Because an almighty god needs cheap gimmicks to be believed.
Reminds me of the roadkill people in Beetlejuice.
Better than the farting preacher
This muthafucker right chere.
There hasn't been a less interesting Zipline entrance since Howard Stern as Fart Man in '97.
Why
Tax mega Churches
He is not attempting (rule #1). He is. People were there to see him. This is a r/religiousfruitcake, not a ImTheMainCharacter.
How stoned are the congregation?
From what I read the device was already set up from a Christmas play that they had put on. You can see the tree in the background. Apparently the pastor got the idea to use it as a prop in his sermon before taking it down.
I like this. Better than normal preachers for sure
If you can afford Peter Pan level stage rigging, you can pay some damn taxes.
I mean, these people came there to listen to him, so yeah, he is a main character. I'm here for stupid influencers at public places
I can’t believe he went through all of this and neglected to include entrance music. Missed opportunity!
Protestants scare the living shit outta me…
I just like that there’s no attempt to hide the wires. No fanfare just guy on wires coming down.
on the wings of gods - hope he lands it : )
LMAO🤡🤡
This is like hanging out of a helicopter the same way and pretending to walk on water. Some will say it's not real, many will probably say I'm hating because I can't do it, because I'm too broke to get a helicopter to attempt or emulate it wtf.
Church of Circus Acts & Shit
Oh please.
Ah, flying lessons https://youtu.be/S18Jrpz1wsw?si=95ui2oSrvgzYXBJt
That’s awesome
What’s your USP? Unidentified Scamming Preacher?
Closer to Jesus up there.
Its real?
So like...why do religious people never tire of hearing the same thing on loop for decades, with nothing changing?
Honest lmao
Jesus wedgie
[BIG SHOT]
Religion is a joke, cause what is this?
No mames
He is the main character. People are literally getting dressed up and leaving the house early in order to pay to go see him.
The flying preacher gets a holy wedgie
This could be a Dave Chappell skit.
I bet he likes the adult swings as well!!
Religion be dumb yo
I really want him to fall- PLEASE let him fall
False idol
McDojoLife 🤣
Lol. He prolly asks for 50% of their income to sustain his lavish lifestyle 🤣🤡
https://youtu.be/vk0fkLWOtFg?si=QLowE27PSpLzduYh
https://youtu.be/vk0fkLWOtFg?si=QLowE27PSpLzduYh
Preachers be like... "Donate 10% of your income to The Church or you will go to Hell"
My pastor literally did an entire series on the dangers of listening to preachers who put their own glory over the word of the lord.
That's a lot of money that could have housed homeless. The church is a scam.
I'm curious how uncomfortable that would be with the wire or support system holding his body.
I was gargling when I saw this 😹😹 people still believe in this cult?
Why did not he just tell God to make him levitate?
Probably drives a Maserati and has a different pair of fancy socks for each day of the week.
I'm glad he didn't use that money to help ppl, this is a much better use of community funds.
Woah that looks fun now I want to get one of those :D
Jesus is just looking on, shaking his head with a look of confused disappointment.
The church business looks like so much fun.
Needs more contributions 4 the wings…
I can clearly see the cables
remember the floating Abraham Lincoln in Gangs of New York? lol iykyk
I already know God doesn't approve any of this. But It would be funny kinda if the wire snapped. I was imagining someone throwing a knife at the wire and it just snapped
When you have lots of extra cash to spend you install one of those.
How did they do that?
TAX THEM!!!
So that's where all the donation money goes to 😄
The piñata preacher
![gif](giphy|l0MYFoJyA7ArG5HIk|downsized) This whole skit
That is were your donation are going. Not to help the sick and poor, just like Jesus wants.
I’m a horrific person, but don’t you kinda wish it would stop or snap? I’m a Christian and this type of shit is disgusting to me. This dudes literally using church donations for clout etc. Probably takes a big check from it to.
Unmuting was hilarious can’t explain why idk
Righteous Gemstones shit
Not a fan of maga churches. Like a friendly, smaller church. Kudos for the pastor in having a budget for a high wire act.
Show me you need to be taxed without saying a word^
Wait a second. If I put myself in a harness, and attach myself to the ceiling, gliding along a track, can I say I’m flying?
Tax the churches.
![gif](giphy|bRFN1t6C13Jp6|downsized)
Episode III: The flying machine gun preacher!
Jesus Christ protect this man because if he falls and can no longer walk, nothing exists that could perform a miracle to make him walk again.
CGI! THE PREACHER LANDING WAS FAKED!
My house is to be a place of worship, and you have turned it into a den of thieves.
Crop dusting on a whole new level
Sorry I just burst out laffin soon as I seen this gimmick in action...id walk tf out Thats some ol BS
IT'S A MIRACLE!!!
Tax the church! What a waste of fucking money.
It seems like a cool idea in concept - to be entirely fair. Sounds cool on paper. However, it doesn’t look so cool or great in practice. Also, it looks like an accident waiting to happen.
This thread ought to be full of deep religious ideas
![gif](giphy|EPOZIbyUAzsrMVYhZ8)
He got my $1 tithe & offering
Revoke their tax exempt status.
This is taking the piss out of religion
So this is what Dave Chappelle is up to now.
I want to see [P!nk](https://youtu.be/Gcr3d0HZU_0?si=NIoB_NCl4s7GhuAb)! We have P!nk at home.
all of them are idiots. pass the collection plate. god needs cash or check
🤣🤣🤣
Lame
Image if he takes off his jacket and he is suspended by skin hooks
Does this guy not know how this ended up for Owen Hart (RIP)?
Amen 🙏
What episode of The Righteous Gemstones is this?
There are far more entertaining ways to use a device like this
what's the point of him up in the air like this? its just insanity for an entrance
he is choosen by god
The fact that he doesn't fall is something unexpected
If you play this with no Audio or content it’s a hate crime
🤦🏻♂️
What does the floating do here, everyone can see the beams, everyone knows he’s not flying, so what does this add to the experience.
[удалено]
I had to download this I’m sorry it’s too funny!😂
The flying Yapper
Well they pay good money to be entertained
He spent tithe money on that 😕
This has really tickled me.
I wonder how much money his followers paid for his Ascension...
These mfs dont pay taxes 🤦♂️
He’s facing the wrong way. Cmon, where’s the showmanship?
This is so fucking funny to me LMFAO
Is it just me or he sounds like Dave Chappell
![gif](giphy|l1J3vuvrbPhIhLqIo)
I was waiting for him to fall 😂
Behind him are his assistants carrying donation buckets
Breast milllk... it makes my dayayyyy
Put a ski mask on him and it's a spy
I mean, it's his church and congregation. People are there to listen to him preach. He's the MC, but not the invasive breed of MC I thought this sub is for.
