I would like to hear everyones opinion on using bullhorns. I have heard a couple being used and I couldnt understand a word they were saying. Another time I listened to a brother who had one with a wireless headset and it sounded crystal clear. Is it a matter of getting a quality one? Ive been wanting to get one but I wanted to hear someones opinion that already uses one. Godbless, Joe

The only time I use one is when it is too loud to my natural voice.

Maybe Bullhorn Bob will post on this thread We once labored with some brothers from the Fingerlakes area who used a bull horn for drive-by preaching....it was great! They turned our little town of North Syracuse upside down just stopping for gas! Praise God! Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

If you use a bullhorn right, you can hear the preacher loud and clear.
I love using bullhorns. There is something bold and militant about them.
They are great for street preaching, because of all the competting noise.

Bullhorns can be great. Any amplification can really help when open air preaching. It can actually be used to be less annoying to your crowd because you don't have to shout. You can talk in a more reasonable tone. If you want a really nice amp, get a Fender p-10. A wireless with a headset mic is pretty sweet. The P-10 has a really clear sound. Some bullhorns can sound very obnoxious.

We use a portable PA system (amplifier). We hang this on our shoulder and can either use a handheld microphone or a mini microphone which we attach to our ties.
We also recently bought a bullhorn.
I enjoy using both.

Did Jesus use bullhorns? I think not. So you shouldn't be either.

It is bad enough listening to the street preachers here (not afifliated with OAO as far as I know) without the bullhorns. Whenever they break out the bullhorns you have no choice but to hear them from a long distanceaway which to me constitutes harrassment, an invasion of privacy and even disturbing the peace. Whenever they break out the bullhorns, I wish i could take one without getting hit with an assault charge and....
well, you can figure it out

Was that passage "like a trumpet" or "with a trumpet?" Big difference, for sure.

I agree, dale; I have used one only once, I believe... I do, however, carry my handlheld mini one for dramatics lol... but I don't use it; it has now become one of my daughter's favorite toys.

Thumper, thumper, thumper, youa re in fact too good of a preacher to go out and play the fool hollering off a soapbox and I mean that. I mean I went from saying to my wife "Hey, get a load of this (choice profanity left out) when I read your first post to me, which said "swallow your pride, repent" (remember that one), to actually hearing your cd and having to grudgingly admit while it did not get me reborn, it at least kept me listening from start to finish with no wisecracks.
With all due respect to you, have you ever considered maybe street preaching is not your calling, but keeping preaching into the confines of a church or indoor building where you tell people your tetsimony, as on the cd?
To the other nonchristians, believe me, this guy is not as dumb as he looks and sounds on this board. He has an interesting story when you can keep him focued on it and by all rights, should be dead instead of logging on here.

Dale, can you post a link to the audio you listened to? I would like to hear this now, I have never heard Dan's testimony.

I dont think it was on ytybe. I got it via the mail.. It was on a full length CD. I have the url for the place that put it out, but do not have time to look it up right now. Ask thumper outright and if he is on line before I am (I am off to serve Mammon for a long stint today, leaving in a few minutes, just stopped in briefly before to see what the Christians were up to) and he can tell you perhaps,
Like I said, the guy is not nearly as stuoid as he looks and sometimes sounds. That is meant to be complimentary even if it did not quite come out right.
He sings an interesting song in his testimony. Not enough to save me, but a lesser person would be quite motivated by his tale.

Personally I don't feel BT does sound dumb when he posts. When I first started coming to this board I was told that BT was one who makes many hateful or ignorant comments, but if that was true at one time, then I think BT had turned a corner by the time I arrived here. I have, since my first conversation with him (it was a bit about gay marriage, libertarianism, and BT's belief that the government has no place placing religious restrictions on people's private lives) I have found him to be a voice of reason, civility and moderation here (by no means the -only- voice , but certainly one of them.)
BT is certainly passionate, and dogged, in his posting. Once he gets his teeth into a subject he doesn't like to let go. But I can relate pretty strongly to that, as I am very similar. Perhaps he doesn't have the philisophical vocabulary of Evan, or the motherhood-powered-anti-argument forcefield of Victoria (hehe), but he speaks clearly, he doesn't speak hatefully, and his heart is obviously in a good place.
Then again, an endorsement from one of the rabble-rousing heathens like me might be a mark against him here on the boards hehe. I hope not though.
I don't watch the videos, so maybe you guys already do this...but it really might be interesting if a group of you someday went out there and just took turns telling the crowds your stories. Just go out and tell people about how you were lost, foundering, alone, how you realized what you were doing wrong, how you came to the conclusions you came to, how your lives have changed. I think you could still attest to the Gospel pretty directly through your testimony, and having a half dozen people offering poowerful and compelling testimony and then maybe doing a Q & A after might bring you powerful results.

Well thank you my Heathen buddies! (hehe!) I actully have grown quite fond of you guys as well...Since I've chatted somewhat with you two, I find you to be quite brilliant; a trait which will come in handy when you both come to Salvation (smiles big).
Anyhooo....
Here's the testimony.... some like it while others say it's a load of baloney because of the supernatural aspects to it.
I'll upload the tesimony in a moment.....

And what salvation story, whether I choose to believe it or not, from whatever source, DOES NOT have some supernatural element to it? ?? If you wanted to come up with a bs story you could have made it a lot fancier and a lot more elaborate than you did. Al so, should I say it, since it is mentioned directly by you time you did courtesy of the Canadian legal system, should be easy to prove. Nah, I have no doubt it is a real testimony. You are too d**ned scraed of your god to add lib.
