I support good mimesCOSIGN!
I prefer mimers to those lame praise dancers. Waving them lame flags is just a distraction ...
...so the mimers can run away with the tithes and offering. :D
I'd prefer the praise dancers though. The ones I've seen really embody the message in the music.
Well, the ones I've seen don't embody the message at all. In fact, they aren't even close to what the song is saying. It seems to me like they just up there doing any old thing and waving a big, annoying flag.
Uh, not all praise dancers use a flag, bruh. :-\
You know, they remind me of that 'Dead Presidents' movie, too, LOL.watchin that movie now.....
I actually mime...and you all's opinions about the ministry of mime doesn't really matter. As long as we get the massage to God's people!
Yall givin back rubs and stuff to the saints?

Even the ones w/out flags suck. I just don't get it.

I'm trying to figure out everyone's dislike for mime. Is it just a preference thing or is it that you believe that nonverbal ministries are unable to communicate the message or be a part of praise?

Those flags are symbolic and the colors and fabrics have meaning. (But don't ask me what the meaning is... lol). I once put together a manual for a really big church in Atl for their Worship & Arts Ministry. There was a pretty lengthy section on liturgical dance, flags, and mime stuff. I don't remember any of it but I remember being really impressed by the research they had done and all the scriptural references. That flag stuff is serious business. :-\

Maybe the word EVERYONE (one of those all inclusive words) was not that greatest word to use, but the everyone I was referring to was to the ones who seem to be on the negative side of indifference. I was just shocked that there was as many people who just didn't care that much for it. Like I said before, if it's a matter of preference, then fine. Some people don't like CCM and other don't like Quartet Music...for whatever personal reason, but that's a matter of taste to me.
But it seems hard for me to seperate mime from other non-verbal ministries, except for ASL. When done correctly, I see it as a form of dance. I can understand anyone being turned off by any ministry that poorly does there craft. An unprepared minister, can be a complete turnoff to some. I definitely belive that all things should be done with an attitude of excellence.
Also, my question was birthed from the fact that no one had a biblical reason to not care for it. Seems to me that the large number of poorly trained mimes are hurting the perception of the whole ministry.
I dislike the fact that MANY mime "ministries" don't really hone their craft. That irritates me and turns me off from it even more. You can't just slap some white paint on your face, throw on some white gloves, pop in a CD, start putting up your hands and making dramatic gestures and facial expressions and call yourself doing mime "ministry." :-\
My fiancee mimes. Anybody else got something they'd like to say¿ :D
Yall givin back rubs and stuff to the saints?I knew that was coming.

I really don't care for mimes,or dramatizations, or praise dancing....
Same here. It just seems to me like they all be doing the same thing. Leap, Leap, Twirl, Wave your hands, twirl, repeat.LOL, this reminded me of the night a friend of mine was on to do a praise dance for women's night. Fortunately, Sunday night services are not very well attended, and are pretty much amateur night for singers, dancers and fledgling speakers, lol. But this chick, hadn't practiced anything by Sunday after morning service, and instead of backing out, she went home and threw something together, which of course she didn't really remember when she got up there, and it showed. I can't remember the song, but it was one of those that keeps repeating the same thing over and over and over, and she kept doing the same thing over and over, and it was just like kicks and hand gestures from side to side. I was embarrassed for her, lol! Too bad she wasn't embarrassed for herself, the next time she did the same thing! Why she even made it on the program the 2nd time I'll never know, lol.
But if it's ministering, then keep on trucking, I reckon.

Ok, I just don't like mime, period. Like I said earlier in the thread, I didn't like it before it came to church and I don't like it now. I don't have a "spiritual" reason, it's just not my preference... like I don't like cherry-flavored candy or medicine, Mercedes Benzes, or George W. Bush. :-\
With that said, I gotta give credit where it's due. This group (in the YouTube) is GOOD. And it definitely appears that they have studied the art of mime and know what it's supposed to be, as opposed to just slapping on some paint and gloves and calling themselves a mime ministry. ::) I can appreciate that. (I'm sure it helps that I love that song... lol). And the future Mrs. VTG was awesome! I'm impressed.
Good stuff, VTG.
My name is LaRue1212 and I approved this message.
LaRue1212 for the LGM Grammar Council 2009
That's why I picked this song. Thanks for the compliment. Tiffany strives for excellence and will not participate in things if they are jacked.
BTW, what is a Mime FAIL? When they can't escape their invisible box?
?/?
As usual, good stuff, VT.
I like her already. ;) :D Can't wait to get home to check it out.
Often screaming and cheering is just to encourage "our" folk, so it really doesn't mean a whole lot, LOL!GOOD BAD OR UGLY
