Church is huge in this area.
It is easier to catch them as children rather than youth.
It is certainly better than the alternative.
What it takes, is the family behind them.  I see it every day at work.
My mother always took me.  That has always been my backbone in times of trouble.
I am one who likes the traditional, happy churches rather than the modern contemporary style. Heck, I don't even like wide screens in their nor the neon signs in the parking lot.
The youth today is so smart that you are not going to trick them.  Families, if you want your kids in church, take them please.

I suppose that next it will be:

"The Passion of Christ, a BDSM tale."

Or, "Sampson and Delilah, a FemDom story."

Or, "The family that sleeps together stays together...Lot and his daughters."

Perhaps that's why the Bible is such a popular book

Status: offline 		Man!!!  And I was hoping to rectify my deep religious devotion and my love of kink in this thread!!  I guess that will save for another day.

As to the question at hand, however, churches have engaged in tacky shock value for years in an attempt to attract adults, youth, and children alike.  It is nothing new and this is tame compared to some of the atrocities I have seen in my time.  Ever been to an Easter play???  Some of those would not even be allowed in a movie theater, but since it is Jesus and a bunch of hackjob, halfwitted performers, why not?  I appreciate a church that attracts by keeping pace with the community around them, serving said community, and making themselves visible and accessible for those who wish to come.  I am tired of people trying to bring the world's all time bestseller down to a comedian one-liner!!  So much for my rant....

Warm regards,
lovingpet

Status: offline 		I can appreciate the church trying to be more...."accessable" to a point but I think the problem comes when it just feels forced and not natural. I've met some people in the church who had a lot of tattoos and piercings etc and who did work with youth but they felt a lot more genuine because they were just being themselves whether they had an alternative look or not. But when you kind of mass market it in a billboard where you're trying to convince people that you're "with it" then you end up looking like the 40 year old guys hanging out at girls highschool basketball games pretending to be really into the game. Its not real and people can tell.

The youngins were always given their own choice...my oldest is Baptist, and my youngest is Catholic ( she also attends a private Catholic school ). The other two; they opted to leave religion alone.

And your point is?  And what has it got to do with BDSM in general?

Status: offline 		That is not quite what I had in mind by accessible.  I mean, first and foremost, a place where people can feel like they are not aliens from another planet.  Also, physically accessible.  There is a tendancy in my area to build all the buildings out in the suburbia type areas or in the country.  The majority of the population are in the downtown area and many do not drive at all, usually due to financial concerns.  Bussing is not available and is embarrassing and inconvienent for visitors to use.  They do not know the schedule if the bussing is available and do not like to have to depend on someone else to determine their comings and goings.  Why not where the need and the people are?  That is more along the lines of what I meant by accessible.

Warm wishes,
lovingpet

Status: offline 		Yep I know exactly what you mean. I was just trying to say that I can appreciate the church trying to be more "understandable" or "relateable" (I don't think thats a word...but I'm going with it anyway) to today's youth. I actually missed that you had used the same word in your post but I also agree completely that people, if they are interested in going, should feel welcome at the church both in an emotional sense as well as physical ie location etc.

Status: offline 		Back in the day when I was writing erotica - I wrote a piece about this subject.  It was in the first edition of Laura Antoniou's book  Some Women (as I recall)... All the BDSM in christianity from the flogging and the kissing to the Roman soldiers in their yummy skirts - I worked through some serious religious stuff I had to deal with. 

A girlfriend of mine read it and looked me straight in the eye and said, "You're going to hell."    Yep... I reckon I am.
peace

Status: offline 		While your local church might have good intentions, i have to say that the message they're sending isn't what i would consider to be appropriate.  Comparing the crucifixion of Christ to a form of body modification is wrong, in my view.  Christ was nailed to the cross.  He wasn't getting a nipple pierced.

Understandably, they are trying to be clever and catchy but, i think kids are smarter than that.  Who thinks, for one minute, that getting a nail hammered through each palm and through the feet, is anything close to getting a nose ring?

The church i go to has a very active and large youth program, with more teens and young adults than i have ever seen at any church.  They have a wonderful music program and a lot of outdoor activities that keep the kids involved.  They can be seen at events, around the area, doing teen outreach.  They present the message in a way that speaks to the kids, without having to resort to trivializing how Christ died on the cross.  i wish someone would tell that church that they need to come up with a better message to attract the youth.

If the church needs some help in coming up with a catchy little phrase to drum-up some attention and interest, here are some suggestions:


Three nails plus one cross equals forgiven.
 
ETERNITY: your choice, smoking or non-smoking.
 
Jesus is for life, not just for Christmas.

If you can't reach God by E-Mail, Try knee-Mail.
 
No God, no peace.  Know God, Know peace.

If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
 
The best vitamin for a Christian is B1.

Dear Slavegirljoy
Brilliant.

I get all but the B1....maybe I just think B2 or B3 are better vitamins?

That being said, one of the best advertisements I ever saw were a series of award winning ads...I can remember only one....

"You will not find God's gift to women in a singles bar."

-----Come worship at The Church of Latter day Domiguys.
