Funny.... BUT Sometimes True

Lately, I've been dabbling in a little of everything when it comes to media. I've started updating the church website, working on powerpoint slide designs, making backgrounds for sermons, doing print and web artwork... basically trying to get into everything. It's been fun trying on different hats and I love wearing them all.

So I've been scanning the internet, looking for some inspiration. It's been really interesting and I've learned alot. Take a look at what I found on Church Marketing Sucks:

YOU’VE EVER CONTEMPLATED BREAKING INTO YOUR
OWN CHURCH IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT SO YOU CAN
DELETE THE COMIC SANS, PAPYRUS AND CURLZ
FONTS FROM STAFF COMPUTERS.

YOU’VE EVER USED A CROSS INSTEAD OF THE LETTER
T OR X.

YOU’VE EXPLAINED DPI MORE TIMES THAN YOU’VE
EXPLAINED YOUR FAITH.

REDESIGNING THE CHURCH LOGO IS A WEEKLY
PROJECT, YET YOUR NEW DESIGN IS NEVER USED.

THE WORDS “DON’T WORRY, THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A
MINUTE,” SEND YOU INTO FITS OF RAGE.

STAFF MEMBERS TRY TO MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER BY
ASKING YOU TO SEND THEM LAST YEAR’S FLIER AND
THEY’LL JUST ‘UPDATE IT A BIT.’

YOUR SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS BRUSHED ASIDE
WITH, “BUT THAT’S HOW WE’VE ALWAYS DONE IT.”

THE DESIGN THEY HAD TO HAVE TOMORROW IS
NEVER USED. AND YOU’RE NEVER SURPRISED.

STOLEN IMAGES, PIRATED SOFTWARE AND BREAKING
COPYRIGHTS IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE IT’S “GOD’S
WORK.”

YOU’VE EVER WONDERED WHY GOD GETS THE
CREDIT WHEN THINGS GO RIGHT, BUT YOU GET THE
BLAME WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.

YOU’VE EVER CAUGHT YOURSELF PROOFREADING
THE POWERPOINT SLIDES DURING WORSHIP.

YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF BILINGUAL BECAUSE
YOU’RE SO ADEPT AT TRANSLATING CHRISTIANESE.

YOUR ONLY INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP INVOLVES
LATE SATURDAY NIGHTS WITH THE CHURCH
PHOTOCOPIER.

YOU CAN’T ACTUALLY ATTEND THE EVENTS AND
PROGRAMS YOU WORK TO PROMOTE BECAUSE
YOU’RE TOO BUSY PROMOTING THEM.

RESEARCH FOR SERMON SERIES BRANDING MEANS
WATCHING TV.

YOU CAN’T INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO CHURCH
BECAUSE YOU’VE TOLD THEM TOO MANY NOT-SO-
FLATTERING STORIES ABOUT YOUR PASTOR.

YOU AND THE SENIOR PASTOR HAVE CONFLICTING
DEFINITIONS OF THE WORD “DEADLINE.”

IT’S PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO USE A VOLUNTEER’S
WORK OVER YOURS, BUT USING A VOLUNTEER’S
SERMON? THAT’S A GOOD JOKE.

PASTORS INEVITABLY BECOME YOUR ART DIRECTOR,
AND THEIR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH “ART”
INVOLVED CRAYONS.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A LEGITIMATE EXCUSE FOR LAST-
MINUTE CHANGES.

Now, most of these don't apply to myself, but I thought they were funny! I laughed so hard reading it because I've heard tons of friends mention a bunch of these!
