You know how young children are. They fidget and carry on during church services, which is why we often find other ways to keep them occupied during Pastor's sermons.
Since we do like the Sunday School teachers to be able to attend a full service now and again, we're always looking for suitable DVDs to allow the teachers to rotate out and at least make it to two sermons per month.
This past weekend, Jimmy Joe Boone (one of the teens in Salem's Teens Against Sodomite EntertaineRs, or TASER) brought a video to church. "It's not Christian, but it has puppets. I think it'll be fine for the kids."
Well, the cover looked innocent enough, a movie called Meet the Feebles. It was directed by Peter Jackson; this should have been my first clue! But we guessed that it would at least be a beautiful film, and clearly geared toward children, so it should be fine.
Imagine our horror when the service ended, and we found the children singing along with the third song on this page!! (Please, True Christians only; it's disgusting.)
The worst part? Our own Miss Jones, the town car mechanic who shares a house with her onetime technical college roommate, Miss Vermier, was singing right along with them!
Well, Miss Jones and Jimmy Joe will be doing a little explaining tonight, before the Church Council!
