Extremely accurate. As church staff, I can vouch for every word here. The other groups are
out to shut down the Young Bloods and complain of them often. I hope there is a corporate
takeover and the churches get back to the Acts Chapter 2 pattern.

These 'Youngbloods' sound like unicorns to me…

I'm priming my own old Minister Mob right now. Why should the next guy miss all the fun
Seriously though, what's actually worse than this (and my current reality) is when the old minister retires – and stays.

This is what I miss when I take an SCL-reading hiatus for a few weeks...the post about my people. It was established a while ago that the Breyer/Cook/Britt/Sato/Harrell/Finney/Murray clan secretly ran the church. And with 4 people on staff, another 3 on the board of Elders and our secret network of alliances built up over 50 years of attending the same church...

Elderati? People from the Old Country? Feh. Those guys are weak sauce. We are both, we are more, we are all. You don't even know what we're called, and that's how it's going to say.

I just love it when my pastor comes to me, twenty years old, and asks my opinion on a ministry move. What? No, that never happens. Tell no one.

Good stuff! and so true! Roller coaster read though, started out laughing out loud and by the end was choked with emotion. Hope I have what it takes to stay a young blood and not get sucked into the Mafia.

…I come from a church where those from the old country rule hard and strong. Being a young blood I’ve had to (or God had to give me rather) a thicker skin to cope with some of the scathing comments such as ” Why don’t you sing the songs from the hymnal?!” when I did…but they’ve been singing maybe 20 songs out of the 400 in the book….

That said. I couldn’t stop laughing at this post! It’s so true!

Wow. If only this were just jokes. It’s all so true.
