HOUSE OF WORSHIP SECURITY

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR HOUSE OF WORSHIP HAS ISSUES WITH SECURITY

• IF THERE ARE NO GREETERS OUT FRONT OR IF COLD WEATHER, JUST INSIDE THE FRONT DOORS
• IF MANY ENTRY DOORS ARE UNLOCKED
• IF YOU CAN WALK DIRECTLY INTO THE NURSURY FROM THE STREET
• IF YOU CAN CARRY A BACK PACK OR LUGGAGE INTO THE SANCTUARY
• IF YOU COULD DRIVE YOUR CAR INTO ANY DOORWAY
• IF YOU HAVE ‘UNARMED SECURITY’ – THIS IS OXYMORON AS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ‘UNARMED SECURITY’ AT A HOUSE OF WORSHIP – THIS JUST DOES NOT EXIST 

If you have to go to gun, your other plans have 90% failed or worse, you had no other plans.  Read Your Most Powerful Weapon by Steve Tarani
