I think you may be thinking a lil' too hard bruh... I think he's seriously asking a question...

I consider myself a full time "Levite."  Most of my playing/teaching happens outside of the church walls but I consider what I do ministry.

...I have a question: is anyone here a Levite?  Is anyone here a full-time music minister/minstrel? 

Good question.

I was talkin about me lol.

As for his question, I'm not a full time time musician/minstrel, but when it comes to being compensated or not, I dont think it matters weather you do it full time or not.

How about - the compensation should be proportional to the amount of time and effort put into 'Leviting'....

neh...not totally.  If you've been playing for years and still haven't made progress, you're pilfering the people who pay you to give them good music.

That's why I included "effort". Musical and spiritual growth should be seen and heard.

Are these two seperate questions?  Or are you tying them in to mean the same thing?  ***cracks knuckles, rolls up sleves, grinning***

Well i will address your assumed statement/question anyway lol

The term Levite is so widely misunderstood its ridiculous.  I guess if youre saved and you play full or part-time in a church, you get to call yourself a Levite these days lol.

***in my most sarcastic tone***  "Hey Levites, am I missing something?"

...and I agree.  That's why I can't really debate with you on this one. lol  Too many people are "pimpin" the church.  Even some Pastors.  Shoot, we should come up with a show called "Church's Shore" cause this is a real "situation."  lol

let's see if they can play some shout music...or follow the preacher??? Nobody comes to a church and says..."boy them ushers ushered me into the presence!!!"  :-\

As for the singers and such, yes I think they should be paid.  But I guess if it called for it, the pastor can get up and ask the congregation to sing with him/her, without a choir.
