The spiritual list is posted somewhere but is not available at the moment. The Big Five Apostates reject the spiritual list altogether.
Easy Part - Great Love and Gushiness for Materialism
Clergy? - The men are women and the women are men.
Land - best placed in the suburbs and mortgaged heavily.
Buildings - extra-large to please the Growthers. (But the Hour of Power, the skirt-chasing Willow Creekers, and many more of the same ilk!)
Costumes - robes of rainbow-colored materials, fish-hats, silver and gold used lavishly, synodical statues, incense, bronze plaques for Growther idolatry.
Merch - cheap-looking but expensive uniforms to enchant the tourists. Expect the merch fad to expire soon.
Extraneous businesses - special coffees and beverages, providing needs like repairing the family car during family worship. Barista? add extra fake whipped cream.
Readings should avoid the truth in favor of the buzz.

Preaching and teaching the efficacious Gospel

No wonder the Five Apostates loathe Luther and mock the 500th Anniversary. |
