Lobsters or crap

Last night the family worker at my current church and i were talking about fundraising and how it could easily be avoided.

In reality, their should be very few churches that need to do fundraising (unless they are doing a major building project). If everyone in the local church tithed (or even went close!), then the vast majority of local churches would be financially secure.

But this isn't the case.

So we put on fundraisers. Fundraisers that often fall into the category of "crap events."

Actually, churches should use this to their advantage for blackmail.

Each person in the church must give a $20 bill or we will put on a rubbish fundraiser. What will it be? A lobster (the Aussie twenty dollar bill is orange) or a back breaking car wash and church bake-sale?
