BABBLERS PRESS - A new study has confirmed what many church members have suspected all along.
People don't leave church because their immoral lifestyle makes them uncomfortable sitting in an atmosphere of worship and teaching. They don't leave church because of unbelief or because somebody offended them. They leave church because the bulletins often contain glaring mistakes and they just can't handle such sloppy work, even if it's done by sincere members or sometimes even by the Pastors themselves (especially in smaller churches that are short on both paid staff and volunteers). The informal study was conducted by a group of disgruntled members of a church with an average attendance of 15 who got "sick and tired of their pastor's continual disregard for bulletary excellence." "Our pastor prints and publishes the bulletins each week because he's got a decent computer and a printer that actually works," said one of the members on the committee of two. "But every week there's a mistake. Last week he forgot someone's birthday. The week before that he published the wrong date for the ladies potluck. I mean, enough is enough." The member lamented the fact that their church has gone from a vibrant assembly of 17 down to a struggling congregation of 15 in the space of one year. She said the declining numbers has nothing to do with the fact that two elderly members died during the year. "You can't use death as an excuse," she said. "What's next? Are we going to blame it on our own lack of prayer or some other silly thing like that?"
