Well, I promised a “Church Cult” post yesterday, and Chris seems to be waiting for it (how about some trackback love dude?), so I guess I’ll have to get my thoughts out for the world to see. Here’s some statements people make that might indicate that you’re messing with a Church Cult:
- Of course they’re members! I taught their parents in Sunday School.
- Our by-laws don’t talk about qualifications for leadership, you just need to be a member.
- We pay you to make us happy!
- Who cares what they think, they haven’t been here that long?
- I’ve waited for years to have my turn at being in charge and now you’re shutting me out!
- Maybe if we put them on a committee, they’ll come back.
- Pastor so-and-so made them upset a few years ago, you should go talk to them.
- The building shouldn’t be unlocked except on Sunday mornings!
- We can’t afford to be giving our money and time away – we’ve got enough problems to spend it on right here!
- I hope this Church is always right at this corner. (more…)
