The following are questions that you may like to answer, they are questions I don’t know the answer to but I have come up with them from a bunch of different conversations i’ve had with a bunch of different people lately.
- How did a multinational company spending millions on marketing let isnack2.0 out of the office?
- Why is cityrail releasing a new timetable that will make travel times longer and increase the need for people to change trains mid journey?
- Why is the Government being so soft on climate change and increasing aid to 0.7% of GNI by 2015?
- Why does sticking my finger in my ear guarantee a little chunk of wax on my finger on removal even if the last time I put my finger in was only a few minutes ago?
- Why is there such a desire by Christians and church’s to plant more churches when the ones we have are not full?
- Has my street always been noisy or is it just since i’ve had a son?
- Why is the church in Sydney spending so much money on a marketing campaign that didn’t work in other cities?
- Why do most people think the only way to combat poverty is to sponsor a child and go overseas for 2 weeks with a hammer?
- Why do nose hairs keep poking out the bottom of my nose even though i pluck them?
- Why do i always feel the need to intersperse silliness amongst serious conversation?
~ no idea. what an error!all publicity is NOT good publicity
~ because it’s cityrail
~ because it’s something they probably think it’s easier to be soft on
~ it works by supply and demand.
~ maybe they think that doing it a different way will help more people come to a church
~ it’s probably always been noisy, but murphy’s law didn’t matter before having a son
~ maybe they think it will work here
~ perhaps it’s enough to relieve their guilt and/or make them feel like they are doing something/enough
~ it’s supply and demand
~ because you’re you
(some of those responses read harsh, but they aren’t meant to. well some of them are. i’m talking to you kraft. and cityrail)
and government.
1) people are saying it could’ve been deliberately bad: the next level of viral marketing.
Because it’s what the media and the church [some] tells them.
2) what she said.
3) don’t know on this one – that’s your area of expertise. I just sell stuff.
4) I wonder this same thing. When you find out, let me know.
5) I think there’s a constant desire to have a “better” or “different” church. Or create a church that better serves “my” needs. I think it may have to with the very consumerist view of everything. Although, I also see a lot of church plants happening by more experienced churches in areas that need them.
6) Just since you became old.
7) Don’t know this one.
9) Again, I wonder this too. Please let me know when you get an answer.
10) Don’t think there’s anything wrong with this…
oops. that should’ve been 8 ).
Clearly.
for the church plant question I do think new ways of church seem like more a of a good idea, like Soma but often it just seems a church recreating themselves in the next suburb.
is my maths wrong? (this is entirely possible! but do you mean 0.7 or 0.07? Because 0.7% seems alot even for me who wants to see some generous aid. Again correct me if I am wrong.
In regards to the rest. I have millions of questions and I have always been told to live the questions rather than force the answers. There is a lot of living to do in your questions.
I do mean 0.7, at the moment we give about 0.36 and the Government is committed to 0.5 by 2015
0.7 is only 70 cents in every $100 of GNI
