“New Jerusalem Primitive Baptist Church. Primitive part is apparently accurate.”
Inaccurate and innappropriate.
The “Dear Departed” certainly showed the primitive thought processes and behaviors typical of the Urban Feral population.
However, that in no way can be tied to teh church which does do its best to actively remind its members of the basics of the teachings of a certaain Jewish carpenter of long ago.
As that carpenter would not have tolerated the Urban Feral behavior patterns, and as this church follows those beliefs, I suggest that conflation of the deceased Urban Feral with the church in which his funeral was being held is, arguably, an error.
Please not that I refrained from comment on the younger members/visitors of that church, as their behavior speaks for itself
I was referring only to the adjective “primitive”. Whatever the implications of a religious institution calling itself a Church, when modified by the word primitive, you have to wonder what religious doctrine is actually preached or followed.
