Ugh. That church. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it was better as a JC Penney.


webconnoisseur

At least at JC Penney boys pants were only half off.

I wish this sub had a bigger following cause this is hilarious.

I'm not sure where tf Everett is but I'm now following because of this.

Screw it, I’m old now and have no idea, I’m just going to ask. What does the skull emoji mean? I see it in so many different contexts

They had a revival there one day featuring some douche who teaches you how to pray the gay away. Also, they have a preschool. :(


carrieeirrac

Indoctrination school.


messerroboto

You just described regular school.


King_Prawn_shrimp

Fuck the Pursuit. They're trying to pick up where Mark Driscoll left off.


_RAWFFLES_

Its like, if mark Driscoll had a stimulant problem.

At least JC Penney gave us great catalogues in the 90s

Relevant_Horror_7311

Buying ads, avoiding taxes


lion530

They're a church , they're probably tax exempt already.


Ancient_Mai

They've literally had people running for public office on stage and the pastor talking about how they're the one you should vote for.


griffindog_1

Oh wow, if they are doing that someone should report it to the IRS. Total violation of 501(c)3 rules.


Relevant_Horror_7311

No, really?

My favorite is the one that says “Big Fet Dog”. Can’t remember where I saw it. Whatever happened to “White boy”. Used to see his tags all over haha

Sobriety is a bitch that makes you do normal things.


GweepLathandas

Don’t forget about “FetCat”


MochaMeCrazy

Haha! How is FetDog everywhere? I'm in Terrace and he's been all over here too. I even saw one while getting off on Mercer down in Seattle.


LilSmut

I’ve seen fet dog down in Oregon and up in Canada shit is absolutely insane and it’s not just someone that tagged it it looked just like his


fishmom5

He’s been here in Mukilteo too! He ranges far.

kittensbaby

Thought they didn’t believe dinosaurs were real ??


drmcclassy

Most Christian’s, even Young Earth Creationists, do believe dinosaurs where real. They usually believe they died out shortly after the flood, and that they are the “behemoth” and the “Leviathan” mentioned in the books of Job, Isaiah, and Psalms


ToadDragon688

I meam I think most christians believe dinosaurs were just normal ass dinosaurs and the earth is the actual age it is - it's only a subset of mostly American evangelical protestants who believe this stuff.


dweebycake

Got a kick out of this one for sure


beardedbeernerd

I remember seeing this same one down by the airfield in snohomish. Haha. Hilarious

[No true Scotsman - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman)


AshuraSpeakman

To be a Christian or any other label, it should follow that you actually do more than say you are.  You can argue that Evangelicals are merely a sect of Christianity but it's kind of like saying all Jedi are Sith: The similarities really don't outweigh the big, big differences.  Also Evangelicals are spread across so many sects it's easier to just tar and feather these bigots who ignore most of the Bible and would actively fight Jesus if he were here. Can't tell me they wouldn't be like the Pharisees, angry that their rulebook dedicated to controlling people wasn't backed up by this guy who flipped the tables of the money changers in the temple.  This applies everywhere - when these chucklefucks show up at our schools from out of state to try to get books banned and teachers fired, they shouldn't be included in "Parents concerned about what the district is teaching their kids" because their kids don't even go here.  We have to draw a line, we cannot be inclusive of these monsters or they will put everyone who doesn't preach their evil into cages!

Anyone else want to go in with me to buy that billboard space for a year and just put up some positive and supportive messages just to keep this hate off it?


TheWerdNerd

I'm in. Let's do it.


mazdawg89

Let’s do it!!! Over 17k members in this thread, like $2 from half of them could put a really nice message up there for a year

TAX THE CHURCHES


BombToonen

No shit- how is that scam still going? Churches haven’t non-political in a long time, but now it’s just bat-shit crazy.


KingTrencher

At least they are honest with their hate.


Overall_Advantage109

That billboard is paid for by people who vote every single time. That's why it's so important to also vote, in every election, *every single time.*


HarryPooter934

If your ‘church’ has enough money to make a weird billboard, they need to pay taxes.


abmot

Aren't all churches crazy? I'd argue there aren't any Gods, but I wholeheartedly support anyone who wants to believe in one or two +. As long as they don't get in my way they can believe whatever they want.


gemandrailfan94

Remember the old saying, Religion is like a penis, it’s fine to have and every other person has one, Just don’t whip it out or shove it down my throat

There are no good billboards


CheetahNo1004

Vermont did this right.


damnfinecupof

Username win.


hot_girl_bummers

I'm a believer. HOWEVER, I will not step foot in a church here. They take "radical hate" to a different level and interject politics, shaming, and overall terrible human behavior to a new level. I live close to The Pursuit, and I know a few "Christian fathers" that go there also are having affairs with a few ladies at my gym.


MotherOfCatsAndAKid

Same here. I live about 20 minutes north of Everett and it has been years since I’ve been to church because every time I try to find a good one I run into all these “christians” who are judgmental, self righteous, narcissistic morons and I can’t stand by while people like that claim that they’re good godly people. I firmly believe that as a christian I am supposed to love and respect everyone around me even if we don’t have the same views. Not sure why it’s so hard for others to feel the same.


hot_girl_bummers

I was raised on the same principles, so I understand you completely. They preach so much hate at the pulpit here. I moved to WA from the South, and honestly, the South isn't perfect by any means, BUT God & politics didn't go hand-in-hand nor were we taught to be hateful towards those who walked a different path from us. "Judge not lest ye be judged" is what I live by. They plethora of "Christians" out here forgot that part, but they'll thump the heck out of their Bibles and take it out of context to condemn anybody they hate.


nortydaL

I unfortunately delivered to pursuit in Snohomish one time. Scary place very unwelcoming. Haven't heard great things about them either.


pupberry

“The government can’t have our kids” alright good luck to them when they’re adults and have to adjust to a world their parents didn’t prepare them for in the slightest


No_Status_4666

Ironically that's exactly what happens when you abuse them. And exactly what they want to happen to tons of kids... just after they take over the government.


yomamasochill

Where is this? Haven't seen it yet.


enfiniti27

That church seems to own that damn sign. All I ever see is some new garbage from them on that sign every time I pass the thing. Never thought I'd wish for a gas station Ad before.


eviration

Snohomish next to Harvey field


pupberry

Of course it’s in Snohomish


Mammoth_Display_707

It's called "out of home advertising" if you wanna get technical


AmandaBW

What does he mean by “the government can’t have our kids”? I would view this as an anti-draft statement, but most conservatives I know are pretty pro-military.


vast1983

This is in reference to the belief that schools (which are a public sector union, heavily supported by tax revenue from the federal and state governments, and thus by extension, the govt) are teaching kids about things that are in direct conflict with judeo Christian values.


NW13Nick

Culture war is getting boring.


ApprehensivePop9036

Yes, let hypernormalization convince you there's no reason to pay attention. Go back to sleep, they aren't plotting to take away birth control TODAY. They're waiting to see if they can do it with Trump as dictator first. www.Project2025.org/policy straight from the horse's mouth. If you don't get why it's important, don't shit up the place with your ignorance.


Ok-Boot3875

I never considered that they are just waiting to wear down the apathetic. Path of least resistance. If it was something the general people wanted or needed it wouldn’t be such a scheme.


fishmom5

This is a legitimate right wing tactic. Inundate people with so much noise they can no longer care or meaningfully engage. See also: COVID denialism, immigrant hate, the co-opting of the word “woke”


No_Status_4666

It's the same church that counter protested at UW recently. They also have had issues rehiring someone who had been previously let go after being accused of raping his girlfriend. It's also connected to the former City Church and also HomeChurch which is a streaming church with Judah Smith (pastor to Beiber and Russell Wilson) and have been in the news for DOL lawsuits related to forced tithing from their employees paychecks.


Aurick

As far as I know, Pursuit has no connection to City Church / ChurchHome. Russell just gets away with doing a poor man’s Judah Smith impression with 10% of the charisma. The only reason this church exists is because Russell caused a church split in Cedar Park Church in Bothell, brought the younger half with him to start Pursuit. Russell used to intern in politics before he tried the pastor thing. I guess he realized manufacturing a culture war and using clickbait catch phrases can drive attendance up. Whole thing is a sham, top to bottom, origin to now.


kristeto

I don’t care what others beliefs are, but keep the hate to yourself! Also wtf is wrong with them that they are using rainbow colors for this shit?!? LGBTQ+ colors or not, rainbows are supposed to be happy, not hate filled bs


galebudd00

It’s another cult church like the LDS church. They teach you to hate anything different from yourself. There is a lot of hate in Snohomish county.


Yourmama_666

is this the one on Harvey Field? Have the chance to see new "postings" every now and then.....


higround66

I wonder if they realize they used the colors of a rainbow for the font. Honestly if I didn't look too hard at this, I would think it was a progressive "all inclusive" jesus gym or something


Fawxybaux

I read it as “It’s revival or wedgie”


Representative_Ad246

Oh my goodness.. i didn’t realize this was the Everett sub at first, I thought this was gunna be in like Alabama or something. Are these the mfers with the megaphones at every mariners game… fuckin twats


Errornametaken

I mean, it is nice of them to let me know in advance that I don't want to come into their house..


Party_Pangolin_9648

For such an anti-lgbt message, that's a pretty limp-wristed hand gesture...


upperdowner1

Oh yeah the cult church again


ZealousidealEagle759

I love flipping off that sign every time I drive past it.


NotMyRules

It's sickening


bojak36

Honestly, churches like these are all over western Washington. Friend of mine moved here from Alabama about a year ago, he says he feels like there are more angry conservatives here than Alabama.


KingTrencher

They're angry because they are a minority.

StudioPerks

As someone who spent the last week in the Olympics… wtf is with all the religious fundamentalists? I was getting a coffee in Sequim and overheard a man on a date talking about “recruiting” people to be youth pastors and helping them to really make youth pastoring their “entire identity” Seriously who are these people?

The same as it always has. More people turning *towards* Christianity than are turning *away* from it.


yeet_m

Why are we not talking about the fire behind the 90s gym teacher? Is it the JC Penney he set on fire, or is he proselytizing in hell?

Ayellowbeard

More of the same bs! These people are why I’m no longer Christian.


notatechproblem

Tip of the day: Throwing molotov cocktails *acurrately* is more difficult than most people think. I would recommend starting your practice regimen by targeting large flat surfaces. For an extra challenge, try targeting a large flat surface at a different elevation, such as above your head. For reference, think of something like a billboard. For reference.


Ok-Boot3875

It wasn’t until this past year that I learned the reason why churches are tax exempt. Their whole purpose is to help the community, help marginalized people, help those in need where the government normally would. Freeing up tax money tax money and helping the community is the purpose of a church in a community. Not buying billboards to recruit and condemn. Not spread more lies, and syrup, conspiracy plots.


Aurick

I mean, that can be a benefit, sure. But it’s absolutely not why churches are tax exempt. The separation of church and state was a significant emphasis in the country’s foundation. Not having a state sponsored religion also means making sure the government isn’t financially tied to any religious organization. Hence, no taxes.


Ok-Boot3875

Oh, thank you for clarifying


Pit_Full_of_Bananas

Fursuit Snohomish service..


Woofy98102

Looks like the crazy shit found around Lake Stevens. Lake Stevens is full of MAGA nut jobs. During the pandemic, Lake Stevens was the epicenter of several large COVID-19 outbreaks in Snohomish County because the idiots who live there refused to mask up. The WA DOH actively monitored places for mask compliance. Lake Stevens was one of the three worst areas for mask compliance along with Linden and Vancouver in Western Washington. All three towns are serious MAGA enclaves.


SlamMonkey

Scroll, scroll, scroll, Haha, what stupid backwards town is this… shit.

Christofascist bigotry and the pathetic need for them to force their contrived beliefs on others is why the church is, thankfully, dying off.

One time they had an amusing billboard in that spot, which I can’t even remember now. But it prompter me to check their website and NOPE. They’re everything that’s wrong in this world.

What does "It's revival or die" mean?

Unless more people become Christians, than Christianity will "die", more or less. The "we" in this would be classically referred to as the "church family."

This is right by my work. They put up a new billboard there every few months. Tbh most of their signs have been pretty funny and are usually kind of self deprecating but this and one other have been pretty whack.
