You know you are in a black church when....

[onesavvydiva]

OR...during devotional @ like 10:45, the JUBILEE choir always sings: Let us go back, let us go back, back to our father's praying ground...

Or...there are a WHOLE bunch of vacant seats BEFORE Benediction, because ERR'body leaves after Alter Call.

Or...the water fountain is ALWAYS broken.

Or...the balcony is always the LOUDEST place in the church, where the pre-teens, crying babies and chatter-boxes are located....And why is it always so HOT in the balcony?

Or...you swear that is the latest R & B jam the organist is playing and the choir is HYPE...not to mention they burst out into the Reggae remix.

Or...People holding up the line at the offering plate while the deacons look through the plate to give them change.

Or...When the preacher gets GOOD into the sermon, he says..."Oh, I wish I had 10 more minutes to preach this!" And everybody is like "Take your time, Pastor...preach it!!!"

Or...The preacher says something like, "There are more demons in the pulpit than there are on the corner"...then he adds, "But I ain't talking 'bout this church!"

Or...The song isn't finished until they break it down, meaning, the organ stops, and it's just the drums, and the sopranos go first, then altos...etc.

Or...it's loud as I don't know what during the announcements. SHUT UP>>>>THIS AIN'T INTERMISSION!

Or...people give DIRTY looks at the usher because he's trying to fit 3 more people into an already overflowing pew. You just HATE when he stands next to your pew and holds up 3 fingers to his fellow usher...and all the people on that row are looking around, like where in the world are they gonna sit.

Or...people hold up that infamous one finger on their way to the bathroom.
