as these cheap units run at about 200Mhz, and are NON diversity, they have
several problems :
1 Frequent dropouts
2 Constant Hiss (that can be heard on the CD recordings of the service)
3 Amplitude Fluctuations,
4 Even when a ceiling fan is turned on in the Auditorium, the rotational
frequency of the 3 Metal blades affects the signal (with the signal and
amplitude being affected - chopping type sound.)
5 If the preacher turns so that their body is between the Transmitter, and
its associated (Microphone wire) antenna, then dropouts are more frequent
6 With one preacher the Mic will NEVER work with him, Continuous Hiss and
Dropouts Every time he uses the Mic (Maybe his underwear causing too much
static.

I have been recommending to them that they get a Decent (Shure / Akg
/Senheisser?) UHF Diversity Lav, but it seems to be above their budget.

So, I plead with you, please convince your brother to get a decent UHF
Diversity System.


Last time I was in a church (about 1960), the charlatan didn't need a
microphone. He just spoke up and everybody could hear him dribbling
down his chin. Why the **** does this crap have to be recorded? Isn't
it bad enough that it gets heard even once?

In case it's needed as evidence. One day a preacher will take a
question and give a straight, verifiable answer. Then the whole show
collapses.

There's an online publication "The God Squad" where a plausible and
friendly Jewish minister peddles reassuring platitudes. His response
to events in Haiti is a particularly good wriggle:

Also, search the archives for the one where he is forced to announce
that none of the major religions allow animals to have souls, but
wriggles beautifully to avoid upsetting cat-women.

Evidence - I never thought of that. But it is probably not needed,
these people are so deranged that they are actually prepared to admit
to all the things they say.

Only potentially? McAfee is too timid.

Actually, the three big religions have a great deal in common, mainly
their "hobbies"

alienate itself from the people?

Seems like tax-supported churches got a great start on alienating people
from them long ago.

Become increasingly irrelevant. There was a time when natural disasters were
believed to be "acts of the gods", so keeping the gods sweet by making
sacrifices and performing the prescribed rituals made some sort of sense.
But now we know what causes natural distaters, and we know that they are
neither some sort of divine retribution for our "sins" nor can they be
avoided by performing rituals.

So what actually is the point of the church these days?
