Yeah,
that’s about right for a church.
How did they not catch that when naming the place?
That’s likely not the name. Those kinds of banners are all over New Haven Connecticut because Yale College is there. I think this is deliberate and probably not what the owners of the facility wanted. As Clodoveo says “This is totally a WIN”
WIN
This is totally a WIN
I agree, WIN! I definitely think wtf when I think of religious organizations.
It’s not a church. That’s the university I go to. XD
FTW!
FTW?? haha seriously? that would be friends teaching worship. and that is not what happens at Wake! We are happy it gets everyones attention.
You should come sometime! You would really like it 
I think it’s ridiculous that we’ve become a society that only relates to accronyms and can no longer recognize words at face value. REALLY! I mean can’t anybody simply read what the banners say and leave it at that?
Perhaps the persons putting these up don’t use or think in terms of crude hidden messages…
.not everybody has their mind in the gutter, I mean c’mon!
I concur.
Yep! Worship comes before Friends!
That’s why it is WTF all the way!!!
What the fudge?
Oh, dear… here’s hoping they only just put those signs up, LoL…
Nope, I believe this is a WIN
That´s a WIN god damnit
No, it’s “Way Too Funny”
a win…
WHAT THE EFF??!!
Oh yeah, that’s a WIN.
WIN WIN WIN!
yeah, accuracy win!
I’ve seen this elsewhere. It was quickly corrected to exchange the first and last banner, FTW.
If they had the brains to reverse it, they’d have “FTW” = “For The Win” (OK FINE or “F$*@ The World”, go away…)
FTW??? haha seriously? that would be friends teaching worship. and that is not what happens at Wake! We are happy it gets everyones attention. You should come sometime! You would really like it
Love you, UNM
My fellow clergymen, this is why it’s important to stay aware of popular culture and not become so totally immersed in your subject that you make a fool of yourself and your message says the opposite to the generation you need to convert if your faith is to stay viable. That is to say, DUDE, WHAT THE F*CK!!
Fail? Seriously?
This is totally a WIN

Lolfoot, like Bigfoot but lol’in.
this is an intentional marketing scheme by the church. google them and you will find it out.
And they’re proud of going viral:
http://www.wakewtf.com/
Reminds me of a church near where I live. They have this acronym FTL, which stands for “For the Lord”. Needless to say I can’t look at it without thinking it’s “for the loss”. It’s everywhere to, on peoples cars, those little rubber bracelets.
also the letters found on many underwears (Fruit of the Loom)
“dood! my underwear is Faster Than Light!”
Eh.. it’s all For The Lols.
hey this is good, at least it is so different from all the other churches that it will probably stand out!
Yeah, it’s not very funny when it’s intentional.
http://www.wakewtf.com/
Their “slogan,” if you will, is even “WTF is Wake.” They’re trying to be edgy. I wish the powers that be would do a bit more research before throwing these out into the ether.
Did you notice that “WTF is Wake” is a statement not a question???? IT was not meant to be funny either. It was meant to catch peoples eyes, and apparently it did!
They should reverse those banners. Then instead of spelling out What The F*$%, they could spell out For The Win!
My thoughts exactly… >.<
WIN.
I am calling trolling on this one. It’s too good to be true, each banner seems much more normal if you imagine it without the letter at the top of each one, and this could of easily been doctored. The letters are just too out of place. Look at them, they’re black, every other letter on that banner is white.
Here’s the thing Ben. This is the North face of the Student Union Building on the University of New Mexico campus. This is from the student worship group WAKE (The past week they’ve been giving out ramen and raffling off other dorm-worthy goods). I’m amused and astounded they used WTF to encourage people joining their organization and services. No troll. True life. WTF.
what the hell guys, this is such a win. i laughed so hard.
Ha Ha! this is from my college! it was in the school news paper! glad it made it on here!
If it were backwards it would be a bigger win
lol i see these things every day. im in tai crap do and im a 3rd degrede black belt and then wtf is world ticrapdo federation
Tai crap do – The ancient art of poo flinging
Even if that is the real meaning, you still shouldn’t taunt a 3rd black belt.
A: Leave it to the church to be completely out of touch with the real world. Trust me, I’ve spent my entire life in church.
B: Leave it to New Mexico to be completely stupid in all facets of life. Trust me, I live in Albuquerque.
I’ve lived here for over 14 years, and I have to agree.
C: Leave it to Eddie to post this without reading the comments above.
Being part of THE CHURCH I don’t like that people lump us in with the other Christians when they do something stupid… Wake is not The Church it’s a church.
I fail to see the fail…..
Fail? WIN
dear faiblog, stop posting obvious wins as fails. thank you
This shows why the high minded need to have a few representatives of the low minded on their staff!
Religion – The Jokes on you.
hahahahahahahahahahaha lmao!
This is religion, so WTF is not a fail, it’s a win!
WTF is the best way to describe my reaction when I was 5 and my parents told me there’s a guy up there in the clouds who has all kinds of magic powers.
WTF was also my reaction when I gave praying a shot but found Santa was way better at getting me what I asked.
So WIN.
No no. If they were cool in any way, they would have gone with FTW….for the win.
And they say God has no sense of humor
Banner WIN
This was on purpose. Please see this article. They were trying to draw attention to the college students. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/churchmarketing/~3/QLy3_FxGWrE/
Oh…………….. I would like to hang those banners out on my porch
Maybe they were trying to redeem the acronym.
This is such a win…
Lol, this is at my school, UNM, put up by a visiting church group on the SUB. FAIL!
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday!
FTW would be so WINRAR
This seems more like a WIN than a FAIL to me.
Hey guys. I’m actually a leader for this college group. We are a progressive college Christian group located in Albuquerque, NM.
I just wanted to comment back so everyone could know our side. These banners are correct, and not doctored. The WTF is on purpose. We are about attracting the attention of college age students – something hard to do in this day and age. As you can see, we are redefining the abbreviation Worship Teaching Friends. We use the slogan to catch their attention, and then invite them to church. Our marketing has been getting a lot of viral internet attention as of late – which is exactly what we intended!
If you’d like more information, please visit our website:

Thanks guys!!
“Worship Teaching Friends.” – WTF? maybe worship, teaching & friends but I sure won’t be worshipping your teaching friends.
Carol,
Get a clue. You are a laughing stock. You don’t get to redefine a cultural phrase just because you don’t like it. This is getting you a lot of attention, yes. But even Lindsay Lohan is learning that not all publicity is good publicity.
But OTOH, thanks for the belly laugh! It made my day!
Which stock is laughing again?
a fail attempt to be cool
That is a win.
I agree with Aleksander. I think this should be a win.
They just messed up the order. It’s supposed to be Friends, Teaching, and Worship. FTW.
firiends teaching worship?? ummmm Im pretty sure friends dont teach worsip
just sayin
Oh I’m definitely bookmarking this.
HAHAHA. WIN!!! ha!
That’s a WIN!
TOTAL WIN!! A nice chuckle for atheists everywhere.
Total win!!! By far the funniest thing i have seen XD
thats a WIN
Disgusting.
Really? That’s the best way to reach college kids? How bout telling your leaders to quit sleeping around and participating in homosexual activities? Ever think that might be more effective in drawing others to Christ than mere shock value?
FWT
