Preman (Indonesian, hoodlums), derived from the free man. But in a bad connotation, because freedom is the freedom that is rebellion. That is, someone who called or labeled as a thug is someone who does not want to setting up, to live as they pleased and anti-orderliness. Of no rule of law, not emotional discipline to an undisciplined character mixed in it.

Inside the church there is also the name of thugs, the thugs of spiritual. Christians are anti-orderliness. No discipline of faith, not discipline of worship, and not discipline of service. That is faith, worship and ministry at will, according to those taste. Or erratic service, if more good, well all went well, but if more cranky, irritable or angry all will blowing by the worst wind
