Peter T Chattaway Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 "THIS CHURCH IS PRAYER-CONDITIONED" One of the church signs in Minnesota read, "This church is prayer conditioned." :roll: I was going to mention that I had seen this message on a church in Vancouver tonight, but I figured I'd play it safe and check to see if anyone else had seen it. Turns out someone had. Two someones. And the second someone's sighting even prompted a brief riff on the fact that churches are getting not only cheesy, but unoriginally so. Ah well. It only took Canada four years to catch up. Quote "Sympathy must precede belligerence. First I must understand the other, as it were, from the inside; then I can critique it from the outside. So many people skip right to the latter." -- Steven D. Greydanus Now blogging at Patheos.com. I can also still be found at Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. See also my film journal.

Tim K Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Last one I remember from a church in Jacksonville, FL -- "Google doesn't satisfy every search." I actually like it though. After a quick google search on the quote, apparently this is popular and been used a lot : "Google vs. God" Edited May 24, 2010 by Tim K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPage Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 FWIW, my Dad used to have a tax disc holder (which sits on the inside of the windscreen opposite the passenger) which had a similar (but better IMHO) thrust: "Trust in God, but as I'm driving, please use your seatbelt".

Persona Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The church sign across the street from where I live, right now: "Call 911! -- NOT! The people in this Building Are On FIRE!" I don't know what's worse, the joke itself or the fact they had to throw in a "NOT" to make sure everyone knew it was a joke. Like, don't call 911. Please. Just jokin'.
