Christian research scientists in Singapore have come up with a device they say can evaluate the level of 'anointing' on any worship song.

They claim it can help prevent congregations having to sit through those 'unanointed' songs that aren't going to take them anywhere in particular (and that the worship leader has only chosen because it is their own personal favourite) and allow them instead to get straight on with the songs that are going to really do 'the business'


 
"The level of congregational singing in our church has gone up enormously since we started using the anoint-ometer" claims Phil Stone from Auckland, NZ. He also added that they noticed they got wildly different readings from the same songs by their other worship leaders, and have changed half their music team as a result.

Not everybody seems as happy though: "We chose our songs using the anoint-ometer and the offering dropped by about 65% from our usual amount" complained Fr. Clint Greenman in Ohio, "nobody wanted to stop and put money in the collection plate when it was passed around"



The biggest interest so far seems to be coming from the record companies who are hoping it can help them prevent wasting money having to record the filler songs that go to make up a lot of the recording budgets and studio time and that don't help them sell albums.

They are currenly attempting to develop their own model in order to prevent having to pay royalties to the people who invented the original version...
