Not funny at all Nov 3, 2010

I would even say a lot of it is sacrilegious. I wonder why the moderators allow such stuff to be published. Probably because most of the churches have deteriorated to the level where this is funny even to the believers.

Dear all, Nov 3, 2010

I was really delighted that most of you found it funny. Of course, not everyone found it funny and I must apologize to Vitals. This "bulletins" were not meant to be anything more than what they really are..."funny language accidents that lead to unexpected results" and that's how they were treated (in most cases) by the parties involved too. In any case, I am sure a moderator reviewed this and did not find it offending in anyway. However, if I DID offend you I do apologize, that was not my inten... See more

Ditto. Those are, presumably, taken directly from church bulletins around the country/globe. If you're gonna lay blame, then lay it on their authors, who are probably upstanding church members who wouldn't be caught dead writing something sacrilegious.

And f you'll all pardon my going a little off-topic: Isn't it great that if someone is going to be a follower of Jesus, they have all kinds of choices of what kind of organization they prefer to be involved with, from the most utterly staid and solemn to the most hair-down, cut-loose informal and everything in between. There is something for everyone. So, yeah, like lighten up dude.

This is how such bulletins look like:








And yes, they do have some sense of humor. Why not?
