ok vent time

alright, each of us has some serious gripes with churches. the last thing i want is for us to simply be some reaction to our problems with the church as it is today, but i also think it is important for us to see the problems and make some changes. this is not to say we should throw out everything that has been done before, because there are a lot of good things done right now in churches, and some ways that they are run are very intelligent. but for this week, lets just say what some of our problems are with church in our day. next week we will talk about how we can respond and do things differently, but this week is our chance to be critical. feel free to respond anonymously if you need to, and lets not have negative personal attacks, just talk about some issues we have. for example, i know of a church in houston that people in the ministries each have a baptism quota that they have to reach each quarter, or they will lose their ministry job. i have an issue with that. so. vent away.
