gbrown: Twice i,ve been embarrassed by ushers, i sat in d front row, i was asked to leave cos the seats were reserved for very special people,
the second one happened to me in kano, cos of boko haram, security has been stepped up in most churches, one Sunday morning i dressed up and went to church, the overzealous usher allowed those he recognized to walk in without searching, from a distance he beamed his search on me, he asked me all manner of questions,ordered me to empty my pockets, when i was in d process of bringing out my organiser he stepped back as if i was bringing out a bomb, at this time onlookers had thier eyes focused on me, i really felt embarrassed,i turned back and left, when a pastor asked what was amiss, i overheard a female usher shouting, abeg make he dey go.
LWKMD,dis really got me rollin on d floor

garripack: i went to church last week and i went to the front row to look for chair to seat down only to finally seat down and seeing the usher coming to my side he told me to stand up and go to the other side i asked him the reason he asked me to move he just kept quiet and demonstrated with his for me to move out of the seat i felt so embarrassed i just quietly stood up and looked at him gosh i felt like breaking his head

i met him after church only for him to tell me that i should learn to obey instructions in the church to receive the blessing from

i got so angry that i had to tell him he should thank God were in church if not i should have done something hasty

what is the most annoying experience you have had with an usher in the church premises

I don't know what Church you experienced that. But most churches I attend, its the ushers that tell us to move forward

I can't help but laugh. Some ushers should just be called bouncers.
There is this church I attend with a lot of female ushers. I don't think there's a male there. They are usually very polite to me. There's this pretty one that always lock eyes with me and she waves. She now my friend.

That is why I love Jehovah's Witnesses. You're allowed to sit anywhere you wish when you come into the kingdom hall. Even if you wish to sit with nursing mothers at the back or the very first roll, no one would ask you to stand up. The attendants respect your choice.
When you get there, the attendants will show you the seat they want to take you to if you're okay with it and you decide.
There's nothing like Children section. Everyone listens and learns together as a family. The kids are also allowed to participate by answering questions during Q/A sessions along with adults.
The act of reserving seats for special people at the front or asking a particular gender to sit somewhere is totally wrong and sometimes you guys are the cause because you condone it.
Scrutinize your place of worship carefully and if you find it wanting, then its time to port

Re: Annoying Thing An Usher Has Done To You In Church? by Nobody: 2:15am On Oct 28, 2013
The problem with most of us here is that we are beginning to take our lawless attitude to the church. I don't support the idea of churches reserving seat for VIPs. There should be equality in the house of God. But I also think that before we judge Ushers and their actions, we should answer these questions.

1. Was I asked to moved to the back because I was indecently dressed? seductive and razz clothes will distract people from listening to the sermon and make them focus on you and that is bad. We are quick to judge churches and their rules. If you were before the president and other dignitaries, would you dress anyhow?

2. Did I saunter into the church late? It's common sense to know that when service is on, you are not to distract people by walking to the front seat when you are late. You won't do it in any business meeting or programme. Does God not deserve the respect?

3. Am I disturbing in the church? if you are, then please follow the Usher. You deserve the transfer.

4. Is there a newcomer who needs a seat? there's no harm in giving up your seat. That act of kindness may convince the newcomer about your faith.

PS: Ushers are servants in the house of God. Respect them because you are respecting the God they are working for. It's not just them.

Tytto: Ushers do embarass because people finds it hard to take to instructions! I'm an usher and often times I encounter people that just come into the church and ends up scattering the seating arrangement. Each time I politely walk up to them and try talking them into taking another seat, they flare up and take it as an embarrassment.
Like seriously my sis, am also an usher and in my church we dont reserve seat for anybody whomsoever, the most we do is to try to maintain orderliness in the sitting arrangement and that is by ushering people to the front seat first, but you see some people who only enjoy putting up fights in uncalled-for situations. Infact, thumbs up to all ushers, we willingly take the insults and still dont think about how demeaning some people treat us or make us feel, it isnt easy at all, also the standing aspect isnt so easy, people just dont regard us which shouldnt be.....They enjoy seeing us as pests...... angry angry

Well, as long as your parents are awake praying for the whole family, you're also covered. Enjoy your sleep but hope you'll stop when you start raising your own family.

Fynestboi: u hate when usher direct u to front seat? While some in here re complaining about been asked to leave front seat? Nawa oo such is life.

the common prqctise is 4 d back rows to be filled, leaving d frnt row empty. but usually b4 Service starts, ushers will direct members to occupy the front seats.
in some churches eg RCCG, the front seat is reserved 4 d new members.

Its not compulsory and we dont sacrifice every week. Only during festivals and important occasions.

Also we get to eat the sacrificed meat, so basically we are not losing anything.

Neither does my Priest loot me every weekend.

I'm sure those are the ones in ur church. Besides, to open mouth to abuse someone working for God, it shows the kind of person that you are. Anyway, I'm an usher in my church n am likin it & for ur info, am also a wealthy man

Re: Annoying Thing An Usher Has Done To You In Church? by touchmeder: 4:08pm On Oct 28, 2013
I sat down and half way into the service, an usher came and asked myself and a friend to move back to some rows behind. I didnt really understand why and refused to stand up. It took a while and the usher came again and politely repeated his request. I recall asking why but got a vague answer. I finally said okay and moved back.

I didnt go to that church until a year had passed. I got loadssssss of follow up visits and they would always ask me ''why did you stop going?'' but i never said a thing.
It would have made me foolish and very childish (which i had to admit was how i was acting) lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
