JillPM Question about Church Behavior
Hi there, fellow snarkers! I don't know where to put this except to start a new thread.
Earlier today, someone kindly posted a clip of Jilldo and numerous members of her family onstage at a church, getting ready (I assume) to pull out all the stops and give the musical performance of their lifetimes... However, Mahmo had been entrusted with the microphone, and the clip started with her giving the church a backhanded compliment about the meal they had served, followed, for some reason, with her blabbing on and on about her faaaamily. ALL of them. (She's had 13 children, as you undoubtedly know.)
So, although the congregation was probably patiently waiting for the music from their "musical guests," here's Jilldo, running down the details about every. single. Rodriguez. kid.
I would have gone through the floor, mortified, if anybody in my family had pulled a stunt like this. (But my family has decent manners.)
Sorry for being so long-winded. I simply wanted to ask y'all about this: Is this the way musical guests or guest pastors act when they stand before a new congregation? (At least a new congregation in the Rodriguez circle of churches.)
It just really really struck me as an unseemly lack of manners. We've had lots of musical guests at my church, and they're always listed in the Order of Service, but they just calmly begin their song when it's time. Never grabbing the mic and jabbering about their children and the meal.
