Religious adds

[Parts]

I just saw an add for a faith healer on local television with testimonials and  they gave the church address and everything.  Lately I have been seeing and hearing more of this junk what is going on.  It's not like I live in the Bible belt I live in New England. Is this becoming more common elsewhere too?

I have seen a church advertisement on the tv, it showed all these young people having a good time, looked like a party. Showed a bunch of people walking along all happy then they walk up to the door of a modern looking church. I thought it was funny because it tried to make out that it was a trendy thing to do, to go to church.

On Western Australian tv.

When I lived in Maine, one of the things that I noticed was that the holy rollers were trying to lure disaffected/ disenchanted Catholics into their churches. -- New Englanders on the other hand are for the most part more enlightened than that.

Also in the south, even though there are a lot of people who go to church regularly, a surprising number of people avoid the holy roller types. --For the record, when I lived in Charlotte, NC, faith healer Benny Hinn put in an appearance at the Charlotte Colesium, which was only a few miles away from the Gas station/ convenience store where I was working third shift. After the event let out, a lot of people who were there came in to the stor to buy gas, snacks, and what have you. One girl who apparently had been 'healed' by Benny Hinn approached the cash register to pay for her stuff, and then went into a massive siezure, and wound up being dragged out by her relatives.

Also, the Reverand, preacher what have you who runs a local chain of Thrift stores, a Drug/ alcohol rehabilitation program and a homeless shelter rides around in a Hummer H2. --Jesus $ave$

"Place your hands on the TV and pray with me now and you shall be healed!!!"

It's becoming more common everywhere.

I see a lot of those Preacher/infomercials on cable tv.  Especially in the early am and the wee hours of the night, when they can buy cheap time.

It's not as bad as Jehovah's Witnesses knocking at your your door every Sunday afternoon..............

Eat them, and they stop coming.

I'm moving to a suburban neighborhood in two weeks. I have never actually had to deal with them, living on the southern most point of the island because it's a bitch to get there.  I will give them a piece of my mind if they come at my door.

You could say that you are busy right now and ask for their address so that you can go to their house later on and tell them what you think of religion.

Theoretically, they keep a "do not call" list...if you ask them not to come back, they shouldn't.  If they do come back after that, I'm fond of letting them see and hear my large (but utterly harmless) German Shepherd charging at the door.    (I have a friend who's JW.  We get along great as long as we don't talk religion )

When they come to your door, preach the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to them.

They don't like me at all. Last time I offered to print them up a tract of MY religious beliefs for when they came again. they didn't come.

"Hey I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses my father is suffering heart complications and he needs an angioplasty or he will die but he's not getting one cause God will save him!"

Thats howI kind of portray these people.
