Crummy Church Signs Redux

Tragically, some churches do not have church signs upon which to be foolish (for all the wrong reasons) in the eyes of the world. Some meet in currently operating movie theaters. (No. Churches aren't just for old, abandoned theaters anymore!) In these cases the theater is happy to take these Christians' money, but apparently not happy for them to take over the theater marquee. So what is a church to do? Well, yesterday, the church that meets at the Crossroads Cinema 16 in Conyers mailed out postcards which loudly display their urgent "church sign" message. These 5.5 by 8.5 cards read:



Now, you've just got to like that! "We're going to get you in our doors by first getting you to meditate on the 'f ' word." So, people who know the f word (not "forgiveness;" the other one) are going to have it spring to mind. (You know. Don't think of a pink elephant.) And those lucky few who don't know the f word, like kids, will either continue in blissful ignorance, or take the opportunity of a church mailing to ask someone, "What's the f word?" and thereby add to their vocabulary! Hopefully, the theater will allow these great, sanctified marketers to have access to the giant theater marquee in the near future so they can share these deep thoughts with every passerby on I-20, too!

Oh yeah. And if clever, risque postcards aren't enough to get you to go to church at the movies, they also serve free Krispy Kreme doughnuts from 9:15 to 10:00 AM. Now that's something every church should do!
