PHONES IN CHURCH
A man in Topeka, Kansas decided to
Write a book about churches around
The country. He started by flying to
San Francisco and started working
East from there.
Going to a very large church, he
Began taking photographs and
Making notes.
He spotted a golden telephone on
The vestibule wall and was intrigued
With a sign, which read 'Calls: $10,000
A minute'
Seeking out the pastor he asked
About the phone and the sign. The
Pastor answered that this golden
Phone is, in fact, a direct line to
Heaven and if he pays the price he
Can talk directly to GOD.
The man thanked the pastor and
Continued on his way. As he
Continued to visit churches in Seattle,
Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago , Milwaukee,
And around the United States, he
Found more phones, with the same
Sign, and the same answer from
Each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Pennsylvania,
Upon entering a church in Sellersville,
PA, behold - he saw the usual golden
Telephone. But THIS time, the sign
Read 'Calls: 35 cents.'
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the
pastor, Reverend Monsignor I have been in churches in
Cities all across the country and in
Each church I have found this
Golden telephone and have been
Told it is a direct line to Heaven
And that I could talk to GOD, but in
The other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads
Only 35 cents a call. Why?'
I love this part...................
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied,
'Son, you're in PA now ..... You're in
God's Country, It's a local call.'
