Tracy's thoughts

The discussion in Lori's post last week brought out an array of different topics as well as perspectives and experiences. At one point, we even needed to be reminded what her original point was! Anyway, I was particularly drawn to the idea of marketing, advertising, and branding as it relates to the Christian subculture. So, with a certain amount of caution, I want to investigate what people's thoughts are on these elements of our culture. Is marketing evil? Should followers of Jesus use marketing? If yes, how? And how does agenda play into this formula?

Or from a little bit different perspective, when you are being marketed to about whatever, what thoughts go through your mind about the one sending the message? At what level does trust enter your thought process?

I'll start by suggesting that nothing is evil...
