Building From the Negative

[ILG]

I attend a fairly large growing church that has great music etc. The other day I was reading an ad by another church in town. It said "Why come to our church? You won't have to ask yourself if you are just going to see the band". (They call the musicians 'the band' at my church.) This was what seemed to me an obvious slam on the church I attend. I saw other ads from this church that were similar. I figure if all folks can do to build their church is say why another church is somehow bad or wrong, that is a church I am not interested in attending.

A friend of mine got a war stirred up in his community when he put these words on his church sign:

"They didn't call him John the Sprinkler."

LOL...

He wound up geting a lot of visitors out of that.

The answer to the question doesn't make sense. You won't have to ask yourself why you should go to this other church if you are going to that church just to see the band?

I agree. It seemed to me just a way to slam the other church.

I think you misunderstood. When I said "this other church," I was referring to the one that did the ad, not the church with the band.

Right. I understood that.

Some people are never feeling good about themselves until they are belittling others.

I am not sure anyone was brought to church and converted because of the signs placed by a particular individual in our city...it just got him on the TV and radio.

Personally, I like the guy in the debbil suit standing on the busy off ramp with a sign that says...UNFAIR...XYZ church is killing me!!
