Are they just too weird? Or are you a Mime Ministry supporter?

Reminds me too much of the robbery in the movie Dead Presidents.

I love good mimers. Some people just get up and do any old thing and expect people to like it. We have mimers at our church, and they are truly awesome (most of the time, LOL).

I prefer mimers to those lame praise dancers. Waving them lame flags is just a distraction IMO.

...so the mimers can run away with the tithes and offering.

I don't mind the mimers. I'd prefer the praise dancers though. The ones I've seen really embody the message in the music. Our church has neither one.

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.

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

LaylaMonroe · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:41:28 PM »

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. $:-\$

As for me, I love GOOD, skilled, well-choreographed, and well-trained, passionate, anointed liturgical (or praise) dancers. I don't care whether they use flags or not, but if they use them properly, it could look very nice. I've seen some pretty impressive flag use. LOL. As for mime stuff, ehh... No, thanks. $:-\$

My question is, if K & K Mime had not done it first, would there be this huge surge of Gospel mimes warranting this International Fellowship group?

You know, they remind me of that 'Dead Presidents' movie, too, LOL.

I suppose mimes, dance, puppet and similar ministries are eminently mockable - like playing the guitar or recorder - easy to do badly but hard to do well.

There's this one group I see sometimes, more than dancers but not quite mimes (no face paint) who have gloves on - not MJ 1-hand style, but both hands...
