Skits

[myeyesareopen]

One can only hope...and pray....and hope again...that in this 'new' era at FBC, we've seen the last of skits.

Inane, juvenile, embarrassing, stupid skits. I just about died when, a week or so after the JS scandal broke, they somehow thought we needed a skit to "lighten our mood." They had Harrell / Woosely up there on a Sunday night, doing some skit that I hope they were forced to do against their better judgement. No this church does not need serious self-examination. It does not need to bow its collective knee before a Holy God. No! What we need is a Cactus and Myron skit! Yes! That's the ticket! That was one of the most I-wish-I-could-crawl-in-to-a-hole moments I've ever experienced at a service.

The Bravo thing was clever for about two minutes, but ran its course a LONG time ago. Not to mention, does not belong in a church service.

And the Hooker girls with their skits at Spectacular? Thinking it hilarious to portray one of them as a dumb, fat girl? Who came up with that one? Who actually said, "Yes, this is what we should do!" Was it maybe because for some reason the church happens to own a fat suit? Recycled for use at Power Kids Club with yet another ridiculous Sheehy character?

Who convinced these guys that this is a valid act of edification of the body of believers?

If we get rid of skits...I'll be very happy. Anyone else?

All I can say is that I have been where you are right now. Just remember; It is all about HIM!

Yeah, but just don't ask Moses why he called his group "The 10 Commandos"!

I heard the other candidate for the pastorate there was Bucky Tucker, but they went in reverse alphabetical order so....

Really? Really?!? 

I loved those skits when Rev Bravo was a part of them. I remember the video they made when we first started using the new auditorium. And it had Myron cactus and bravo running in the street to get to the new auditorium and bravo slipped and fell. I thought that was hilarious. Because in all reality that was never supposed to happen. Chris Teft told me that that really was not expected. They kept it in the skit video because was funny. So when I finally saw the video I was bent over in half, dying laughing about it.

I have heard many Pastor's School delegates declare that the skits were what kept them awake during the morning sessions.

Well, now.  That is an interesting confession.  Worrisome on sooooooooooo many different levels.

myeyesareopen, while I understand everything you're saying and probably agree with you... I hope this has not bothered you for a very long time. There are bigger fish to fry. This is not something to lose sleep over IMO. John Wilkerson seems to be pretty sober minded and not silly or stupid minded. I'd be very surprised if Wilkerson ever ok'd a skit during a church service. Maybe a teen meeting or something but not church. And I have to chuckle as I read your remarks about CWS and the Hooker skits Makes me so thankful I am a man. Every female relative and friend of mine dreaded those conferences!! lol anyhow................... Just my thoughts.

Dear Longlivedunkin, I can assure you it is pretty low on the list of things that bother me...something prompted me think about skits and I threw it out there. Cheers!

Skits are IFB's answer to dramas!

Fair enough

I don't mind the skits for YC, and one here and there for CWS and/or PS.  I enjoyed most of the skits during college chapel services in the mid-80s.  I do think that sometimes they were misplaced and they increasingly made less sense. 

However, as I grew older, the skits didn't, so sitting at CWS or PS and watching a skit seemed pretty much a waste of time......except I know the kids liked them and somehow related to them. 

Often, they have TOO MANY skits, I agree.
