the other one that comes to mind isnt so much a sermon as it is the guy who comes in and uses some story or some historical reference that is just flat false.
drives me nuts.
There was one fellow that did this quite often that i know. turns out he wasnt much of a christian and is no longer even preaching. I hope he found his pants.

I heard a preacher once in Tennssee preaching on "Holiness in the Home". His entire sermon was a virtual laundry list of things we should not allow in our homes that would drive "holiness" away. Of course, as any good Apostolc knows, TV was at the top of the list. (Had computers been around then, I'm sure the internet would have been included).
He also included radio, recorded gospel music (except those of believers of "The Message" -he was a big William Branham follower.) Recorded sermons by any one other than WB were listed. Books were forbidden (except WBs). Little "what-nots", you know, those little dust collecting "idols' scattered around the house, were listed. As was photographs of dead folks (WB was excepted). I endured all I could, but what really drove me over the edge was when he spoke about ther greatest evil Holiness folks let into their homes that they never think about. According to him, allowing this into your home was the same as allowing pornography into your home. He said it destroys more homes than TV ever did. He said it teaches women how to be Jezebels, encourages kids to become rebellious, and drives men to have affairs with many women (his words, not mine). He said it makes nudity acceptable, and leads to lust, Lust and more LUST. And, of course LUST, brings forth death. So allowing this great evil into your home is inviting DEATH to enter.
This great evil?
The Sears and Roebuck catalog. I kid you not.

There's actually a quite significant fellow who was confronted by friends after he told a story. They said, "We were there! That didn't happen." He replied, "I was speaking in parables."

Like one evangelist who tells the story of all, or most, of the women from the island of Fuji deciding to stop cutting their hair and thus saving their land?

yea... like that.
and parables need to be stated as such and should not reflect some factual happening that is twisted away from the facts.
