Religious Arguing/News here---->

[HairOfTheDog]

In the last 10 yrs. I've seen a lot of people pull away from it. I recall being seriously shocked when a good friend told me that she didn't believe in God. We have similar backgrounds insofar as we are both Catholic & educated by nuns. I can laugh at my reaction now but at the time I was horrified.

It's interesting how efforts to recruit new members and believers have changed with technology. Lots of internet campaigns, more aggressive billboards, etc... The door-to-door missionary approach still seems alive and well, too.

Just read about this new billboard ad causing a stir in Lubbock.




JesusTattoo.org says that the controversy is not entirely unwelcome.

"We're finding that those who visit the website and watch the video come to understand the message of the campaign," Sawyer told the Post. "Certainly, like with all deeply personal relationships, not everyone approves of the image of Jesus with tattoos, but we welcome the controversy because we understand that a dialogue on the issue is the best way to spread the message."

Controversy leads to greater exposure leads to growing the flock seems to be the recruitment strategy.
