You may be right Bishop but they don't have TP to splain it to them...............

Re: A Couple Interesting Billboards

Sounds a bit like one of those youth-orientated "radically saved" churches from the 80's. LOL

Re: A Couple Interesting Billboards

I would say they are trying to get across the idea that if Satan thought the church was bad, then that is where people should go, because the reasoning would be that it must be good if satan hates it.

Or is that obvious to everyone here? lol And not the point?

It was obvious and to the point but I just didn't like it at all and I am not really sure why. Just seems like another commercial or jingle. But then again maybe it speaks to something in my soul like I may have forgotten that satan is the enemy of souls. And that is scary. Thanks for this post TP.

You are correct. That is the point of the billboards. If Satan is against it, it must be a good church.

I was not questioning what the point was, but rather just wondering if this was a good method. Do you think it will be successful?

Re: A Couple Interesting Billboards

It just might be successfull TP since it kind of makes some people (like me) stop and think. Maybe it will bring souls into the kingdom.

Probably cause me to have a wreck. Been a long time since we drove where there are billboards. I had to stop and think for a while to remember what one is.

I do not like the term "sucks". If folks knew where that came from... whew! Anyway, I agree, it somewhat does not send forth a good "sound."

Re: A Couple Interesting Billboards

I've seen tackier outreaches, believe me. I guess in a pretty well churched area folks are tempted to do things to try and stand out.
