I think the bluetooth is a great idea. The first person to figure out how to broadcast the church PA system on a bluetooth frequency will bring a lot of the halfway “hard or hearing” people back into the service. They are more common than you think.

When I'm on the door at church, I ask people to either turn off their phones, or drop them in the convenient bucket of water by the door.
I s'pose I could dunk people's heads in the bucket if they've got a growth on their ear….

Recent studies suggest wearing bluetooth earpieces are linked to brain cancer.

wow, nearly everyone who saw the Island (including me) reads this blog. What an amazing coincidence.
And while seeing a bluetooth during a church service (not yet down here in Tassie) would totally have me whistling up the worship eagle to do a quick retrieve and destroy, I wonder if anyone else has ever had the sound guy turn up with a 20inch TV to put at the desk so he can watch a car race during the service – and for some reason he was totally cheesed when I ripped him a new one; in Christian love of course (if a stupid car race is that important to you, arrange for someone else to do sound and stay home and watch it – feel the love), and bless his heart.

my favorite thing about this post was that not only have I seen the movie The Island but I also get DWR in print and the annoying emails from them everyday.

I am in divinity school right now, and I have colleagues who wear their bluetooth devices while they lead worship and while they preach. I have yet to figure out how to point out to them how awful this is without saying something I’ll regret.

A little late to the game.

My husband stopped his 20-something daughter from using her cell phone (talking and/or texting) when she’s around him.

A couple of years ago, we were meeting her for breakfast one morning and she was REAL late. That gave her dad a lot of time to think. In that time he came up with a new rule: if the phone comes out of the purse at *any* time during the meal, for *any* reason, she has to buy her own meal.

She just about had a coronary when he told her, but she put it in her purse. And there were several times during the course of the meal that she started to reach for it, then decided against it.

Since that time, she hasn’t used her cell phone when she’s been around us.
