A church is considering implementing a program modeled by another church where those attending for six months would be required to sit down for a discussion with a pastor for the purposes of strongarming long term visitors into membership.
Such a meeting might prove fruitful for those wanting one.
But what if one does not want one or where after words you still see little need for membership since the congregation is mostly an obey the pastor or else sort of place and that those not in the ranks of the clergy are of limited value in the first place?
Is one going to get slapped with a restraining order where you can’t set foot on the premises for the purposes of quiet observation?
For those that like to participate in confrontational drama, that might make for an interesting media story.
Personally, if things are getting to this point, I eventually just won’t be going back.
