Katy Perry (Katy Hudson)?

[Ttery]

Did you know Katy Perry used to be a Christian Pop singer under the name as "Katy Hudson"? I was shocked by this, I wonder what "bad company" she fell into. Truth is God made her into a great Christian Pop singer!

Just goes to show how fame can bring out who a person really is.

Both of Katy Perry's parents are Pentecostal Evangelists/ministers. Which, to me, goes a long way to explaining her fallen state now. Katy claims her upbringing was very strict, but Katy's comfort with the reprobate world, even as a teenager, does not reflect someone brought up in a strict environment.

I read somewhere that she didn't think she was a good Christian because she wasn't perfect, or something like that... which is really missing the point.

nvxialee, since when does being brought up in a strict home mean that you will automatically follow in those footsteps. In your post you are suggesting that if she had "truly" been brought up in a strict Christian home, then she would of walked in those same beliefs she grew up then. I don't know if you have ever met a pentecostal, but they are one of the most strict denominations I have ever seen.
I grew up in a fairly strict charismatic household. My 2 older brothers backslid, and I am serving the Lord with all my heart. explain that...

I grew up as in a strong Pentecostal household and fell away badly into drugs for a long time before I truly came to faith in Jesus.

There's still hope for Katy Perry, she just needs to truly discover the truth of the gospel, that's what it took for me.

Isn't it ironic and sad that her song here is "Faith Won't Fail" when it obviously has...

I have a difficult time believing her parents were that strict. Not because of the way she is now, but because her parents let her quit school at 15 to work on polishing her singing voice and let her move to LA to join the music scene at only 17. It seems kind of fishy for Katy to claim her parents were so strict and yet they allowed her to go into a career in music at such a young age. Either they weren't very strict or they were highly naive.

I'm not saying she wasn't raised in a strong Christian household, but I have difficulties believing some of the allegations that she wasn't allowed to watch TV or play cards and whatnot.

They did that because they wanted her to be a successful christian artist. They didn't think she would be singing songs about lesbianism ...

What's strict about Pentacostals? They have the highest divorce rate of any religious group. If they dressed any more disrespectfully at church, they'd be coming in their dirty yardwork clothes. Their laity is less healthy, their preachers more scandal-prone, etc. Their doctrine is among the worst in the Protestant world. Given that Katy Perry has not just one, but two pentecostal preacher parents, she hardly had a chance to grow up and live a life serving God.

When Katy Perry started her secular music career, in a very short time she became a superstar in one of the most degenerate industries in America. No one raised in a protective and righteous home would have had the necessary skills or comfort level to shoot so high, so fast, in the MTV world. Period.

Millions of Americans are great singers. Every church has a few very good singers. It's not singing ability that made the difference for Perry.

Again it's clear your only understanding of Pentecostals is what you have read on the internet and seen on T.V. Their isn't any proof that divorce is higher among Pentecostals than in any other group of people. I was apart of a Pentecostal church when I was young and I still keep in contact with some of its members, I had never seen a divorce among its congregants in the 15 years I've known them.

The lust of the world pulled her in just like the prodigal son. It can happen to any Christian, take heed when you stand lest you fall.

Your experience does not reflect what I've seen, surveys, or what you've seen among famous preachers. Name a famous divorced preacher, and odds are he's a Pentecostal. Benny Hinn. Randy White and Paula White, each twice divorced. I'm glad to hear of the lasting marriages from your church, but it's an exception.

The lust of the world pulled her in just like the prodigal son. It can happen to any Christian, take heed when you stand lest you fall.

Again, no one raised in a righteous and strict home would have her skills and comfort level at such a young age to become so quickly mega-successful in the degenerate music industry. It's not a matter of being led away. It's a matter of being raised away.

Well I'm certain they didn't think one day their daughter would dress like a strumpet on stage and sing songs about kissing girls and being a teenage dream, but I still cannot imagine letting a teenage girl quit school and go to LA to pursue a music career, regardless of genre, if you were uber strict. Most severely strict Christian parents don't let their kids listen to Christian contemporary music anyway, since it sounds too much like secular music. Now, did they let her have sex with her boyfriends, go partying with her friends, or dress in immodest clothing? I doubt it. I mean, are we comparing strict to other conservative Christian parents or non-christian homes?

 

[Bella Vita]

Ya I already knew this her parents are huge Christians and she dated Matt Thiessen from Reliant K for like a year to before she changed into secular music

 

[janny108]

When parents raise their kids in a Christian environment, they will grow up and make their own choices. All you can hope for is the best.

Most famous t.v. preachers are charismatic/pentecostal, and from what I understand Katy Perry's family isn't pentecostel, that are non-denominational/Word of Faith. I agree, most t.v. preachers have done some of the worst things. In the end the 10-15 world famous t.v. preachers that fall under the catagory of charismatic/pentecostal don't reflect the tens of thousands of pentecostal churches and preachers that exist in the world.
I just want to add in, I have been to a lot of denominations in my life. Luthern, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational ect., but I have only seen supernatural miracles at Spirit-Filled/Charismatic churches. Such as seeing someone with different sized legs, and the shorter one grow. Seeing a little def boys hearing restored, etc. Their is something that the Charismatic type churches have that others do not, and I think I know what it is.

The seeds were planted with her family upbringing.. none of us are free from sin. She drifted for many reasons but two what come to mind are money and fame. I have no idea what her relationship with her parents might be right now. God has given Satan some rope with her to have his way with her to shower her with fame,drugs,sex,money but she will possibly hit rock bottom and the lord will say "i am still here, i have never left you." I wish to say we should all pray for her because that is what we are supposed to do..

and benny hinn is a false prophet he was busted on cbc fifth estate up in hear in Canada it was pathetic.. he best get right with the lord.

That's what I was thinking.

You cant judge anyone...i mean she is singing about kissing girls but who knows people do alot of things to make money....but I do respect herself for practicing celibacy until marriage to her current husband
