Testimony and alter call and PRAISE BREAK are definitely the biggest culprits of adding 30 minutes, but...who's gonna cut that short? People getting saved but you gotta go watch the Bears vs Packers?
How do White People get out of church every week at the same time?

Na listen as a young boy I was an usher on the door handing out flyers. I just always wondered how they get out earlier?It's just very ritualistic and planned out especially Catholic church. Hyms are the same songs for sometimes centuries old, kneel at the same time, say the same things together, etc. the organization isn't planning, it's ritual.
Black (baptist, AME, etc) church's were built on the ritual being the get together itself, and the time for that is less important than the emotion/feeling/worship around it. I damn near missed a Superbowl once because of the opening of a new church sanctuary and service. But, I stream the same church to this day and I tune in at exactly 8am PST because regardless of everything else, pastor starts the sermon then (ministry of music honestly does little for me).
But, not saying it's right, fair, or modern, but in black churches, it's a testament to your faith:
You got something BETTER to do than worship
Yeah...I mean I think I explained why

Black church has always been an endurance challenge. That’s why I stopped going.

Well if they catch the Holy Ghost and dancing and all that how the Holy Ghost leave them as soon as the drums of that song stop?

Or the consecutive worship, prayer and deliverance sessions mid sermon.

there was an old "Mother" of the church that was at my Grandmas church. Every week that lady would tell a 20-30 minute random story. like her car doors were frozen and she said "jesus" and the doors would unlock. And then just all the other random stories the congregation.Testimony and alter call and PRAISE BREAK are definitely the biggest culprits of adding 30 minutes, but...who's gonna cut that short?

White service follows a strict structure

the Wednesday service was like 50% this at my old church ....Jesus placing $20 in a purse to get groceries, unlocking doors, just day to day happenings that are miracles 
I couldn't stand Wednesday the 1-2 times I went.Thing is you can't be like "sister that is you forgetting where you placed your keys or working hard and getting a promotion, which, is a blessing, but not a MIRACLE WORK OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR like water into wine
"All blessings are blessings I guess

Na I got what he was saying and I know it’s about the fellowship. I’m just wondering is it an unspoken rule in white churches. Cause they got bells nationwide. Is it something unspoken.He just dismissed everything you said

If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie.
I went to a Catholic Church and was shocked at how efficient that shyt was.
We were in and out in like 15-20 minutes.
They did a song, gave us a cracker or some shyt, then poof. Gone.
My old Apostolic church wouldn’t even be done with the fukking opening song by then. They’d be speaking in tongues or just jamming.

People have already explained it.
They go in with a goal and get out.
Black churches got a lot of random shyt going on.
It's not unspoken. It's scheduled. They have structured rituals and a program that lasts that long.
