Not correct – the Offertory collection takes place just after the sermon & Creed, well before the Communion Bread is given out.
Yeah, that little erratum totally pulls the rug out from under my argument… :rolleyes:
This totally reminds me of the elderly gentleman on the Red Line who sells these scraps of blessed cloth that will help your prayers come true. They come in all the colors of the rainbow. I haven’t seen anyone actually “donate” for the things, but he’s been at it for years now, so maybe there’s something to it.
The scam, I mean, not something to the divine powers of dyed fabric.
Who was that con man in Texas, who was selling genuine River Jordan Water? As I recall, he had a firm in Taiwan anwering his mail, and sending out the little bags of water (“jess like Jesus was baptized with”). The packets actually contained Taiwan tap water.:dubious:
Lets not forget Robert Tilton, who asked for “$100 vows of faith” on his televangelist show back in the the early 90’s.
How odd, I just happened to see Peter Popoff for the first time, last Sunday morning during a fit of insomnia!
Took me right back to the '70’s, that did, when a tubby little guy in a white 3 piece suit, Ernest Angsley, did the very same shtick. “My Fray-unds…put yer hay-und on the teevee…HEEE-ALLL! HEE-ALL”. We used to crack up at work, imitating him! Trying to heal the copy machine, touching peoples foreheads to drive out the demons…good times! I had no idea such foolishness was still going on 30 years later, nor that there was still an eager audience for it! Well, like the nice man from Nigeria who is going to give you part of the billion dollars he has to smuggle out of the country, I guess Peter Popoff is going to make the people who can’t walk get up and do a Riverdance jig. Good luck with that!
