I'm pretty certain that it's just as straightforward as it appears - some church or Christian ministry has bought a whole bunch of people's phone numbers to try and "reach people for Christ" in the newest and most totally obnoxious way they can dream up.

Could have bought a used war dialer like PhoneSweep or the like in an office junk sale and decided to use it. Actually I would be willing to bet there are freeware war dialers out there for VOIP.

I'm in MA, on vacation, and they called me TWICE!

I never thought vacationing in Massachusetts would be e most difficult time in my life!

Both my wife and I got called on our cell phones with what sounds like the same thing.

God told this dude I was having troubles (or something like that) and God wants him to pray for me. I always assumed that if God wanted to contact me he would do so directly or through one of the 3 ministers in my family.

It doesn't help that when my phone rang with the "not a number in my contacts" ringtone I thought it was an update on my grandfather's heart surgery. I was even thinking of pitting the call myself.

Mods:
Would it be against board rules to list the number?

Yes, it is against the rules. I totally sympathize, though.

God sure isn't choosy when he picks his spokespeople, is he?

If they stopped to think of it: any Supreme Being who knows all things, is all loving etc. that they claim to believe, then God doesn't need to be told what is going on, or will go on, or what a person needs. To me it is like making a child beg for it's food. A good father (or parent) that knows a child's needs ahead of time, doesn't keep anything from the child that is for it's good, nor give anyhring that would be harmful. It seems like a lack of trust!
