Guest SerenityNow Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Here are just a couple of signs that I've seen posted in my little neck of the woods.... "Discipline your child in the playpen, so they don't end up in the play pen" NW Florida Church last summer: "You think it's HOT here....." What about you guys, what are churches in your neighborhood trying to convict you of??? I have more but just wanted to throw these to out for now.

Biggles7268 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Big black billboard on top of a building at one of the busier intersections in town reads "It's a small world I know, I made it -God" There were a few others, less obtrusive than that though. I did see a construction job site trailer with the name of "fishers of men" on the side. parked right on the highway for no reason, there is no work being done there.

pandora Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 There are various billboards (I mean the big ones along the highway) that say things in handwriting like, "I'm waiting... --- God." And "I knew you before you were made in the womb... --God." There are countless church signs that say retarded things all the time around here. I just don't remember any of them at the moment.

ML13 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 A sign at a First Baptist Church- Okay, we give up. There is no God. Infidel Guy was right all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peyton Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Not exciting but this was the sign on my last church. They were trying to get permission so that it would flash. They wanted bright lights all around it 24 hours a day, so that people would take notice and realise the sacrifice that Jesus had made for 'us'. So far, they have not received such permission.

quicksand Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 In Milwuakee too. White type on Black. The first one was a Pascal's wager Life is Short. Eternity is Not. The second one is a an appeal to emotion I love you. Te' Amo. -And love in Chinese?- And another by the airport, easy to see from an approach: God has a home. (Give an address to a church.) I just roll my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefranden Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Can't wait 'til I win the lotto and I can afford to put up my own signs. I think I'll use the white on black style too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksand Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Digging around on the web I found this sign on the Silver-Site Online Christian Community The comment is as follows: I actually expected to get a larger response to this ... Even if it was pure coincidence, it still makes you wonder if God is trying to tell us something, that we need to start getting back on track. Which also makes you think of the situation with the Earthquake and Tsunami. Is God telling us something? In Mathew 24:7, Jesus said "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." Right now, we have nation against nation, and just like the earthquake in divers places, meaning in places you normally don't see happening, this happened underneath the ocean. Belive it or not, but scientists actually record around 300 earthquakes a year just in Kentucky and the surrounding states. Is this prophecy, or just another earthquake? A sign (somewhat) survives and its a God trying to tell us that end is near! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaoi Huntress Earth Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I live a few blocks from a chuch so it's not hard to come across one of their signs when I have to get something for my mom at the local Aldys. One that I found particularly annouying was "It's illegal to starve a dog to death. So why Terri Schivo?" Man I was tempted to go into the church and give them a peice of my mind. And let's not forget the memorial to the unborn they have ever two to three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFeline Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 We had one in Ft. Wayne recently that said (and I kid you not) "Boring religion Just say no" Damn, I wish I could have gotten a picture of that thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marktaylor Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I see those inane signs everywhere in my area (southern USA), even bible snippets posted in peoples yards. I can't believe how little thought goes into a lot of them, but the one that gives me the creeps is "Christian Academy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtdude Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 "This is the rant forum so, thought I'd rant." Fabulous rant, Thankful! If I may add that these hoo-hahs with the signs are totally ignoring the Christ-man's order to pray in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Son of Belial Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 A church I pass every day on my way to work says "Fight truth decay: read the Bible." I always get an urge to smash it with a sledgehammer. I always thought if I had a church, I'd make a sign that said "Some assembly required." I think that's kind of cute. Too bad I'm not a minister. Speaking of which, do you realize that most of us Ex-C's know so much about the Bible and religion that, should we try to pretend we believe in that shit, we would make excellent pastors?

Ro-bear Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 A church I pass on the way to work has a bunch of little white crosses, each representing however many gazillion fetuses, apparently all Christians, that were murdered in utero. Big ol' sign goes with it. Nice if you're driving your little kid somewhere and they want to know what the sign says. There was a van with a big-ass aborted fetus painted in graphic detail that used to drive around town. Nice. Our newspaper here runs an ad about partial-birth abortion. Nice picture of a doctor stabbing a fetus with scissors. To me, this is as bad as porno. Why do they expose my children to it? These same folks would go nuts if you drove around with a blown apart Iraqi baby painted on your car or ran a daily dead Iraqi ad. These folks should focus their efforts on adults.

Fweethawt Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 A couple of weeks ago, a local church had a sign up that read Stop drop and roll doesn't work in Hell. They must have caught some flack from somebody for that one because the following week the sign read If there is no Hell, then there is no Heaven. When I read that, I was like, "No shit!".

Ouroboros Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I once changed a church sign to say: "Join our club or burn stupid." I made another sign say: "Titties are yummy." Amen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spamandham Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 There was one near my house recently that something to the effect of "Jesus said it. We believe it. That's that." You could almost see them standing there with their fingers in their ears saying "la la la la, I can't hear you, la la la la..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
