It is also the age of 'swipe a tithe'. And the preachers are the most notorious with the use of those gadgets. So irritating...One of them with a middle class lady started 'singing' when the preacher was praying and she could not figure out how to stop it...She had to rush out with it...

I agree but must add that this 'fancy gadgets' should include tight skirts,above the knee skirts, low chest blouses exposing nyonyos and fancy exposed ladies underwears displayed infront of you in church.they are more distracting than the ipads ideos iPhone etc.

This thread has too much bile... na ni ya kanisa?

I don't know about others but I find it more convenient to carry and read my Bible from the phone. Maybe one should seek to do that which took you to church... not look around at what others have (hoping ofcourse that its not flaunted too much infront of you)

Problem lies with the church leadership.
If the pastor's wife displays cleavage and thighs what does she expect the youth to do?

surely there must be a difference between church and world but that doesn't mean dressing up like my grandma.Just keep it decent to avoid distractions.
God loves order and technology.The church must catch up with the times.
But anything hindering people from meeting and being ministered to by God can easily evolve into an idol not matter how useful and convinient.
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

I hate the habit too. The churh elders or pastors should condem the act and stop anyone from doing that.
I think it should be allowed during weddings and funerals only.


CHurches should designate areas for people who want to use the gadgets to sit. Just like they do for parents with young babies. Then the gadget owners can mingle freely and dont have to distract the rest of the congregation.
Lord, thank you!

then the gadget owners will feel like superhuman and church will disintegrate.

Did i mention am posting this from my i-pad, which i leave in the car together with my galaxy note.


So why mention this if not to brag? And why do you need the 2 gadgets that are basically 'the same', that is purpose and function-wise? This reminds me of a guy who was sitting next to me at the pub yesterday and he had placed an iphone and galaxy S4 on the bar counter, to brag of course since he never received or made any calls, just displaying his phones.


Thanks @ jaggernaut, for noting my last statement above. It was deliberately included. If it sounds foolish reading it online from an unknown wazuan, imagine how it feels being done by the guy seated to you in church. But for real there are guys who carry both these gadgets.

These days they are tweeting the sermons as they happen...and it gets awkward when two of them realizes they are in the same church and starts tweeting each other(still in church) how the pastor has touched them, how that lady in red in the praise n worship team was off-key, how the assistant pastor is boring today, etc etc...randomly, another guy at whom tweets "stop tweeting from church" and a whole discussion begins with pro n cons of tweeting from church...


Why would someone tweet while you they in a church and the service is going on? Why? Church is 1-2hrs per week. People cannot leave their phones at home and dedicate 1.2% (2hrs out of a 168hr week) of their time each week to God?
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
