This popped up on my Time Hop the other day. When I look back on all the free labor that was REQUIRED of members, I'm stunned 😳 This was a HUGE, multi-campus megachurch with a staggering budget. Why did they need so much unpaid labor? Also, the process of becoming a member looked, in hindsight, completely bananas. Hundreds of people being moved from station to station in "membership class" where we had to share our salvation stories with a stranger, sign up to volunteer, AND set up an automatic withdrawal for your tithe 😳 How did all this seem normal to me??
