This is jaw-droppingly dreadful.
I kept wanting to turn it off but it was like driving by some horrible car wreck – I just had to look.
What on earth?? Spinning socks? Is this the new Toronto blessing?
Okay. At that point when they joined hands, what did they do with their socks?
My word verification is “difibick”. What the difibick is going on????
Merciful heavens!
Ellie, you’re the better woman. I quit at “do si do”, 3:56.
Of course, he has a packed house…Sigh.
Horrible! Although the beat of the music wasn’t bad. However, as a worship service it definitely gets a Hall of Shame Award.
As a youth minister in the church I am slack jawed in horror and befuddlement.
What the hell was that? Like a car crash had to watch it to the bitter end.
Wish I had the budget to put on a show that fancy. I’d do a much better job.
It beggars description.
Maddie, folks should get Purgatory dispensation for watching this. I ask for none myself. My calling will require me to visit some dark places at times.
The horror, the horror…
Peace

Jazzercize for JAYSUS! I love it. It’s a train wreck to an Anglican maybe, but these guys pack their houses doing this stuff. And why not? What are these good folks being asked to do? Dance and sing, all very enjoyable, and not demanding of their thought or moral committment to anything. Go to church, dance a bit and sing, and go home thinking you’ve been to church. And what do we give them? The penal substitutionary theory and Lent….. Long term we have the better deal, but these folks are having FUN…..
You have just managed to desecrate a very happy teenage memory…
They don’t deserve days off purgatory, Jay. They should be content with the knowledge that they don’t go to a church like that.
But how can having somebody’s smelly sock waved in your face make you happy? I thought Jesus died so we didn’t have to undergo such punishment.
Sorry – I quit at 15 seconds. I hope they’re praying for my heathen soul.
They’re probably waving their socks round their heads for you right now, SR.
You won’t catch me giving anyone the penal substitutionary theory, thank you very much. I was raised on it by fundamentalists and consider highly unevolved religious thinking centered on a sadistic deity. I’m having none of it.
I quit when he said “take your shoes off. . .”
I’m sure Jesus just doesn’t like stinky feet!
Jesus didn’t wear socks… WWJD?
But on the bright side, you’ve got to admit he’s got some seriously attractive young people in that congregation. Undiscerning, and undoubtedly gullible to the point of borderline stupidity, but seriously attractive.
… at which point I feel called to find a way of working the couplet “Grab your partner, do si doe, Don’t be shy, just let it go” into next Sunday’s High Mass… suggestions anyone?
No, no! He’s saying cast off your socks and follow the synthesizer!
Socks and God and Rock and Roll
I only lasted 19 seconds but I
have a very low tolerance for stupid.
FWIW

Didn’t you even get to the sock waiving bit? You missed a real treat if you didn’t.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I’m Appalled.
With two P’s.
Loved it.
“Grab your partner, do-se-do”. Hallelujah! That’s why I come here. The quick thinking will have pogo sticked along up to the attractive blond near the front. There were a few as Father Christian noted.
Do-se-do indeed. Keep it going brother! Don’t stop.
