I just got Televangelized. WT-everlovingF?

There is always Televangelist Bingo.

The Dork Side is the place where the gargiles and slykicks reside. :slight_smile:

Really? You went to collage? :eek:

“Hello, and praise the Lord, my goodness gracious yes, my name is Chuck, and how is it you are doing?..”

Some of these guys are miraculous.

Others spam channels in online games. :frowning:

Well I didn’t say it was a good one. And I’ve admitted the heavy drinking part.

I’ve heard that before, from several places. The most memorable was a help wanted add recruiting **Prayer Warriors **for concentrated, group **Prayer Bombing **sessions. I guess you’ve got to be all pumped up for your prayers to be intense enough to change reality.

I’m also guessing this is a way to recruit guys who think praying is for sissies.

Yeah, it’s inapt, isn’t it? Some evangelicals really like awkwardly mismatched half-martial terminology.

It’s a kooky “charismatic” thing, I guess. I don’t know if there’s a consistent approach to prayer…warfare? But I associate it in my mind with a prayer meeting I went to once where people I had *previously *respected were getting really intense with group prayer. For an hour. I hope somebody at the meeting identified a need he could fill from all those prayer requests and actually helped somebody, but I honestly don’t know if anybody got any actual help out of that mess.

They can’t allow another church to open up prayer-group gap!

“We’ll meet again…”

An old man and an old woman hear this. She puts one hand on the phone and the other on her lower back. The old man puts one hand on the phone and grabs his crotch with the other.

The old woman says, “Elmer, he’s gonna heal the sick, not raise the dead!”

Whatever happened to that dude who appeared to have Tourette’s syndrome that was on late nights on BET?

He would just be sitting there talking and then JAYYYYYYSUSSSSSS …uh WTF? ok he is talking normally again and then AHHHHHHHHHHH and on and on. Bizarre beyond belief.

EDIT:Kerney Thomas, got it by googling screaming preacher on BET :smiley:

Nitpick: a televangelist is an evangelist who conducts religious ceremonies on TV. The OP got hit by an evangelist who uses telemarketing techniques, which is a whole different obnoxious critter.

I’ve been hit by a couple of telemarketing churches myself. When I call and complain, I’ve been told, quite smugly, that the DNC list doesn’t apply to them, and they don’t have to abide by it, which is true, but it doesn’t make them any less annoying.

they use the “i’ll keep annoying people because im allowed to” excuse. No, you’re annoying, go away. /end rant

Oh, I am SO going to hell for laughing at that one! :stuck_out_tongue:

How else would they become a skam artist?

“Do it. They have toll-free numbers. It costs them money every time you call in. Call them when you’re stuck in traffic. Call and ask them to pray that it doesn’t rain on gay pride.” - Suzanne Westenhoefer

WTF?? I had a crazy day today and adding this to the end sent me straight over the edge of hysteria. I think I need that as my text tone. “GAAAAAAD!”

Many a time have I called on the lord to keep my wife and child in line. Isn’t that what Christ is for?

While R. Lee Emory’s voice would help sell this thing, his character would call this a ‘magic show’.

I just ran into a short piece on an atheist website about “prayer warriors.”

Sarah Palin is one, apparently, and we may hear more from them.
