Probably where The Way was headed lol... :jump:

Pressed Down, Shaken Together, Running Over would have taken on a completely different meaning... :dance:

I heard Loy Boy dressed up as Gene from Kiss once, a sight to see I'm sure :evildenk:

Elvis has left the building, and Hillsong has lost its way....and its mind.... :anim-smile:

Wow.  A women's conference with a Christian male stripper.  Extra special.   They couldn't do dolla-dolla bills so the gave the audience little flags to wave.

Only in America....!

And Australia. Hillsong apparently started down under. I just read about this new documentary, which apparently was first broadcast a few days ago, on the Washington Post. This link should enable people to read the story without charge... because I subscribe (for $29/yr).

They've apparently made the big time with a Discovery+ channel documentary about them.
 

The WaPo staff writer (of this story) starts her feature thusly: 

For the first two decades of my life, there was very little I did that wasn’t touched somehow by evangelical churches. I can still sing a random smattering of Bible verses, thanks to catchy little melodies we played on cassette tapes in the car. If I squeeze my eyes shut hard enough, I can reach down into the primordial dregs of my memory and find some of the pledge to the Christian Flag, bringing up with it the Play-Doh smell of my preschool classroom at a church-adjacent academy in Scottsdale, Ariz. I still remember the first time I ever felt so overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit that I wept during a church service — I was 11, and it was during a rendition of “Shout to the Lord,” a beloved praise anthem from none other than Hillsong, the Australia-based global charismatic church network known best at the time for its stirring, internationally popular worship songs.

I’m still working out why exactly I quit going to church in my early 20s, about a decade ago; for a long time, all I could really muster was that I could no longer ignore the gnawing suspicion that I’d be happier if I did. (I was.) As an adult, though, I’ve started to piece together that perhaps it had less to do with God or the Bible or Christianity itself than with the fallible, corruptible, misguidable human beings I answered to every Sunday.

 

So when I watched Discovery Plus’s new three-part documentary “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed,” some of what it uncovered felt wholly, sadly familiar. Other revelations, though, were uniquely horrifying.

Started in Oz, I think, by a New Zealander. 

Whose son has just been forced to stand down as church leader because he didn't report his father's sexual abuse of young children.
