calling god, form new Zealand

Postby John *.?-!.* cub owner » Fri Mar 17, 2006 2:10 pm

this was on the RPM forum.

An American decided to write a book about famous churches
around the world...so he brought an air ticket to Orlando
thinking that he would start by working his way across the US
from South to North

On his first day , he was inside a church taking photographs
when he noticed a golden telephone, mounted on the vestible wall
with a sign, reading, $10,000 per call
The American , intrigued, asked the nearby Priest...what is that
telephone used for
The Priest replied that it was a direct line to God, and for that $10,000
you could talk directly to God
The American thanked the Priest, and went on his way

Next stop was Atlanta, there at a very large cathedral
he saw the same golden telephone, with the same sign
under it
he wondered if it was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando
so he again asked a Priest what the purpose of the golden phone
was
He told him that it was a direct line to Heaven
and for $10,000 he could talk to God

Again the American thanked him, and went on his way
travelling to Lexington, Indianapolis,Washington DC, Boston,
New York and on and on he went, across the US, looking at churches
In every major church, he saw the same golden telephone
with the same $10,000 per call, sign beside it

The American, upon leaving the US, decided to travel to
New Zealand...to see if the NZ churches, had the same
golden telephone
After arriving in NZ, the first big church he visited was in
Auckland...again , there was the same golden telephone
but this time the adjacent sign under it read
40 cents per call
The American was most surprised, and asked the Priest about the sign
Father, the American said, I've travelled all over America
and I have seen this same golden telephone in many churches
I am told that it is a direct line to Heaven,
but in the US , the cost was $10,000 per call
Why is it so cheap here ?????

The Priest smiled and answered..Why son, you are in New Zealand now...it is a local call.............
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

John, I luv it, :lol: I guess they don't call it God's Zone for nothing.

Billy, right on.

P.S. I think a quick call to ease up on the earthquakes might be appropriate. :wink:

Dave,

John's ditty was obviously written by a Kiwi :!: Are you having earthquakes on the North Island? Is Ruapehu acting up again? :D

We've got one grumbling in Alaska.

I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

Don, that goes without saying. But he/she knows what they're talking about. :wink: :lol:
Ruapehu blows off every so often, but earthquakes occur regardless. Had a good thump the other morning.
