    We got rid of pew Bibles years ago. Instead, we wish for everyone to have a Bible of their own. If you don't have one, we have one for you to take and keep for yourself. We also don't put up the passages on the screen unless we have a need to (sometimes it is easier when doing an intense study on a passage) but that is extremely rare. We would rather people look up the scripture on their own.

    We don't have pew bibles either. Everybody has to bring their own bible and the pastor tells us what to turn to, no screen.

    Pew Bibles are typically for visitors

    I'm sorry it sounded as if you were slamming bibles in the pews. I guess I read it wrong.

    Ive always thought pew bibles are for lost people who might show up or visitors who might not have thier bible with them.

    Not slamming them at all. Have them at my church! But, what I was saying is that there WAS a time when there were no pew Bibles. And there was a time when the ONLY Bible in any given church building was CHAINED to the altar.

    How far we have come from there!

    Now, that being said, I do tend to find Bibles (and hymnals) in the pews as generally a waste of the church's money. They are seldom used these days, and I would rather GIVE someone a Bible of their own than purchase a dozen cases to sit in wooden racks as a graphic example of the dead church they inhabit.
