PLAYBOY DISCREPANCY

An interesting weekend at The Net! The highlight clearly being our baptisms and picnic - more to come on that in a blog post to follow.

For now though... I'd like to look at a troubling issue that has the potential of causing a church split! You see, this past Sunday morning while the congregation was intently listening to our guest speaker, Jim Miles, bring his sermon to a dramatic close... movie trivia began playing on the screen behind him. Later he commented how he noticed a point in the message where all eyes slowly moved from him to something over his head.

As he preached away one particular piece of movie trivia blazed across the screen... something about Playboy and a certain playmate... this is where the discrepancy comes in. Some of our members told me the playmate in question was Pamela Anderson. Others claimed it was the late Anna Nicole Smith. Having not been in the room at the time, I cannot say who's face graced the screen.

Now, at The Net we do our best to not dabble in non-essentials, but I fear if we do not settle this issue, it could divide our congregation. If anyone out there saw the ad and has insight into who the infamous actress was, please feel free to weigh in.

And know that going forward we are working with Rave management to ensure such divisive issues are kept at bay and that playgirls and scripture verses don't share the same screen space at the same time during our weekend experiences... Not that we would want playgirls sharing our screen space at any time during our weekend experiences!
