Ronald Regan was the first politician to do it and it worked great and is now standard operating procedure for all canidates. Why don't churches do the same. Hire some top NY promotions agency to manage image. Here's an idea. Don't know if the agencies will use it.
Banks give away toasters if you switch your account. Religions could give special gift rewards for conversions. What do you think?

God isnt interested in NUMBERS...whether for attendance and membership OR money. His thots are not our thoughts.
The church HE is interested in has nothing to do with "buildings made with hands". Its a living , breathing entity that needs NO help from the world to attract followers.
God gives the best benefits and rewards possible, and still men say "NO < thank you."

For the same reason that God gave man free will. Coming to God is a spiritual thing, it has nothing to do with toasters, or mixers or money.
If You were God and you asked someone to believe in you, and he said no, and then you said, Hey, I will throw in a toaster if you believe in me, and then he said, OK, now you are talking, I will believe in you. What is his "belief" worth?
Its worth a toaster.
God wants us to want Him as He is. What you see, is what you get, sort of thing. He is God, He could make us worship Him, if he was so inclined. But He is not, He wants us to want him for who and what He is.
