Advertising Brands In Church

What do you think about Advertising Brands In Church? For instance a Member while teaching may say I always buy brand 'x' rather than 'y', or they may use a product as an example, but instead of saying the actual item they focus n the brand. An example of this would be: "Too much Hershey's chocolate is not good for you" as opposed to "Too much chocolate is not good for you".

Well, the church is considered a non-profit organization. I don't think they would favor any one particular brand. Especially because no one is an official sponsor of the church. Different media is sponsored by certain companies and agree to help advertise their products. That would seem blasphemous if the church did advertise for one organization.

Also, just as the church doesn't tell us what specific political party we should join or who we should vote for, they wouldn't tell us where to buy our groceries or who is the best Realtor.

I just think some brands have become the common term for many items in the United states. I don't think when a member uses one of these for an example that they are advertising the product. They are just using the most common names they know.

Consider the following brand name products that have become part of the English Language in the United States.

These are all brand names that have been substituted for the generic names of products. This happens all the time in the church in the U.S. (as well as outside of the church) without realizing the connection to a particular product (especially Jell-o).

It's only natural to let little things like that slip. I think we shouldn't be hung up on others using politically incorrect phrases and judging their misnomers for a blasphemous ruse instead of what they really meant to say. Our intentions are what matters. Also, if you put "hook and loop fastener strips" on a flier for items to bring to an activity, there'd be a lot of confusion.
