An Evangelist influencer from Florida was booted from an Alaska Airlines flight on Thursday after preaching to her fellow passengers during a take-off delay.

Whitney Lynn, 40, filmed the bizzare scene on Alaska Airlines flight 708 out of Orlando International Airport in a series of Instagram videos, including the moment she was told she was apparently making crew members feel unsafe.

The San Diego-bound flight was delayed prior to take off, which is when Lynn, started to preach from the aisle of the plane.

“Women evangelist.” Ugh! I now see the problem.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Probably the least effective way to spread the “Good News” is to preach to a captive audience on a delayed flight, much less a “spiritual warfare” sermon. I’m surprised the passengers didn’t all convert to Islam by the end of the delay.

“Oh my gosh I didn’t know the message of Jesus Christ was unsafe,” Lynn said.

It is to demons.

Besides, US airlines are like riding a prison bus. You get practically stripped searched when entering, you take your tiny seat, move when told, don't move when told, stay quiet, and follow directions of the officer in charge.

Some of these Pedo-Posers get as annoying as the Mooslimbs clogging the streets.

“Polite” is about the other people.

Shut yer yap. Keep it to yourself.
Most don’t want to hear it.

She sure acted the fool.

[Red Badger]

Street preaching is fine.

Aisle preaching on a aircraft is not...........

[Red Badger]

Alaska Airlines would have Nunavut.............

When you’re on an Aicraft
There is a Captain and that

Falls Directly on that Captain.

Mileage+ be damned —

The first airline to require all passengers to be showered, dressed at least like an adult, and above all - quiet would forever have my business.

I might allow limited talking to answer direct questions during the meal/beverage service. Maybe.

Today, an airliner (or at least its coach section) is little more than flying cattle car. You can “Moo”, but not much more.

fine with me; now if they’d only eject folks with screaming babies [including the babies] ...

[Jamestown1630]

This one has ‘narcissist’ written all over her.

[Track9]

LOL..

[PAR35]

I have no problem throwing these preachers off the trains and planes when they start pontificating to a captive audience. I have no problems with street preachers holding forth on outdoor corners.

[Jamestown1630]

The article notes that in an interview she has actually said she likes to preach on planes because the audience can’t leave. (Apparently this isn’t the first time she’s done this.)

[Seruzawa]

She should have extolled the sexual mutilation of preteens. They’d have upgraded her to first class.

[Zathras]

My response: “Shut up and sit down”
She is lucky that is all that happened.

[imabadboy99]

good for her. Jesus will tell her well done, faithful servant.

Mark 8:38

King James Bible
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

I like screaming babies on airlines. I get huge satisfaction knowing that any AWFULs on board are about to have stroke and will leave the plane with PTSD.
