JeffersonHills Has Officially Jumped The Shark…
That title is a little misleading. The church hasn’t jumped the shark, but that ridiculous naming convention has. It’s high time we stopped this stupid ‘pushing words together’ crap. I’m sick of it. Take, for example, UnitedHealthcare. The inside deal is they have to tell outside organizations a catchy phrase to remember how to write this: two caps, no gaps. It’s ridiculous. If you need a phrase just to remind people of the name of your company, maybe you should just give it a regular name, I don’t know, maybe United Healthcare. WOW! WHAT A CONCEPT!
Getting back to JeffersonHills Jefferson Hills, what’s the point of pushing them together? I mean, at least with tech companies, it seemed edgy and techie-like. But what church is edgy or techie-like? Really. Just knock it off. You’re Jefferson Hills and deal with it. Jesus never ran around telling people he was JesusChrist, did he?
AND while we’re on the subject, someone tell Flickr and Tumblr to go find the stupid ‘e’ they both seem to have lost. Call me, I’ve got plenty of them lying around here. It’s pretentious and beaten to death by two out of every five new tech startups.

At last! A church with a run-together name is what my family has been looking for.

I couldn’t agree more with this post! It’s really dorky to try and be techy and edgy when it’s not necessary. No one will think you are ‘old fashion’ or ‘out of touch’ if you just spell your name properly! And what is with those billboards? Are they trying to use reverse psychology on us from Satan, even? I just shake my head and feel bad fer em’.
Simon Cowell might say, “I’m going to be honest with you. It’s like they are an awkward chubby high school girl when the captain of the football team looks at them and says ‘Hello.’ It’s pathetic. Sorry!” (boos from the audience)
Maybe I just don’t get spending all that money on fine billboard real estate and then plastering the name of Satan all over it making it seem almost like JeffersonHills is a place controlled by him. Yucko…it’s not working out if you ask me. Then again, it could be a brilliant marketing plan! LOL

They’ve indicated to the press that the drive has been highly successful. Personally, I don’t care either way, just separate the words for the love of Pete.
