It took me a while to realize this wasn't satire. Wow.

Just get a “worship band” that plays bad music at 90 decibels, that should do it. Another possibility would be to make all your worship leaders get tattoos, piercings, and bones through their noses and spools in their ears.

It isn’t satire?

Dear God, reality is giving the Babylon Bee a run for it’s money.

I’m gobsmacked.

WWJD?

I don’t understand what’s happened to the churches. They seem more obsessed with being some sort of paid for community and not spreading the mission of God.

Maybe that’s because they’re all socialist missions now.

They can “reapply” after 2 years?

No way would I even walk into a church that says crap like that!

You may be closer than you think. The old folks were probably too influenced by the Bible.

Why do older people read the Bible so much?
They are cramming for finals.

I’ll bet the jerks are liberals who want the Church to be attractive to the trans crowd... I’ve got a flash for them... the hype about there being so many sexually liberated progressives just waiting to ‘go to church’ is a lie.

First, there aren’t that many of ‘em....

I understand the need to attract younger people but wow...telling old people that they need to stay away? I’m hoping it’s just a biased way of reporting it.

There are a lot of churches in my area that are like this and they offer Starbucks coffee at a serving counter.

I, unfortunately, have to go to one of these worship houses to vote.

church is asking its older parishioners to leave in hopes of making it more attractive to young families.

What kind of bizarre thinking led to this conclusion?? I’d venture a guess, but I’m going to hold my judgement.
