I found this job posting for a church in VA in need of a drummer. When I read it I was like... :-\ :-[ ?/? :-X ?/? :o :( >:( :D! Lord have mercy to whoever posted this. I would sure like to find anyone who would even want to be a drummer at this church. I'd sure like to find out why their former drummer left....
"Still looking for an anoited drummer for Saturday and Sunday worship services. May also include some weeknight events too. Just don't come bringin' some nasty spirit up in here. Too much of that crap in the church world already. Just be willing to work hard with a required 3 rehearsals a week, 2 night services both Saturday and Sunday and a few revival nights during the week from time to time. The church is paying $50.00 a week plus a free dinner on Saturday nights. Do be expected to pay 10% tithes and another 10% free love offering back to the church or we prefer to go ahead and deduct it out of your pay check. Required paid parking program is in effect for now going to our new building program. So you will also have to pay a $5.00 per service parking fee too. Must bring your own drums and be able to read music too. No smoking, no drinking, no runnin' the streets going on in your life. You will be in a highly visible position in the church. And no playing in the dirty nasty smelly whore bars or juke joints neither. We want your full dedication and talent given soley to the Lord. No traitors tolerated."

Hahaha!!! Is this a joke or a real advertisement :D?
-
That ad had to be a joke.
Churches be buggin these days, and wonder why they cant keep a competent musician. That church probaly has no more than 15 people in attendance, yet has all those services. SMH
-
Well I found it on Craigslist. I don't know to assume if they were playing or not.

Ahhhhh! Leave that dude alone man.lol

LOL - This reminds me of that nanny ad some mom ran a few months back in New York City - all about what a pain she and her kids were, all the things the nanny had to do to please them, and a warning about applicants not having a nasty attitude about it all...
Hope that 'free dinner' is good...

After Tithes, Parking, And the Love offering fee, the drummer is only bringing home like $30 dollars. :D I can see Tithes, but a parking fee? What? Thats outrageous! :o

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I respect and understand the church is a business too, goodness. Sound like this person is gauche and needs to be muckraked.

.......
thats the dumbest thing i ever read. :-\

Wow... Thats all I can say...

"Must bring your own drums and be able to read music too."
They expect the drummer to cart his set back and forth? With 2 services and 3 rehearsals per week, it would be easier to just keep them in the church...

It would be easier for the church to purchase their own drums...

They may as well do that and let little 8 year old Johnny play it during service

Fifty bucks a week for all of that?
I play at a church with a cheap 300 Mapex kit, no other musicians, and I don't have to attend choir rehearsals. They've been singing the same songs devotional and hymnals since the end of slavery, and their is nothing for me to learn...
....oh, their are more people in the choirs than in the congregation.
I get paid 90 bucks there.
Want to know why I'm playing there? A favor for my uncle.

wow..that ad was crazy...

That's exactly what happened this past Sunday at my church. The front of the church had the deacons, missionaries and a few of the children, but from row 4 back it was a ghost town until about an hour after the service began. People were late as heck last Sunday and I don't know why. Thank God the Mass Choir only sings 2nd and 4th Sunday's.

Same here...how do you motivate people to show up on time?
-

Yea. Talk to them individually.
-
Same here...how do you motivate people to show up on time?
1. Tell them Noel Jones is speaking during Sunday School.(For those who still have Sunday School)
2. Tell them Kim Burrell is leading praise and worship with Kurt Carr Singers as background vocals.
3. Tell them TD Jakes will be bringing the Word that morning.
They'll all be early ;D
-
And lining up around the block hours ahead of time...
-
Same here...how do you motivate people to show up on time?
Tell them that there's food being served downstairs in the kitchen an hour before service!

ROLMBO!!! O...M...GOSH!! :D :D :D :D :D
So they pay you $50 and make you pay $15 of that back?
$50 is not enough for all the work you'll be doing. I wonder if this is how they do their other musicians. A lot of this stuff could have either been left out or said better. :-\ I wonder if they're still looking. ;) :D
-

Tell them to find another church... oh wait... that's what I feel like saying sometimes. IGNORE! ;D
