A pastor had this put together for their church in Burbank, California. HILARIOUS!

1. OMG, that's funny. Only in Burbank.

[PDJane]

2. A Pastor with a sense of humour!

3. Yes. Yes, it is.

And I totally support God in this.

4. And conversely my church has ENCOURAGED people to use cell phones during the service

Either to text the pastor questions during some series or to tweet your reactions to the sermon during another series. I guess places can all be different.

6. I had heard that some churches were encouraging use of smartphones to access

scriptures or follow along and make notes.

But I'm not sure that's what this one is addressing.

5. No shirt, no shoes, no service...

7. Another church that wouldn't have jesus as a member!

8. I was at a funeral when a cell phone rang.

The minister walked back to the person with the phone and motioned for her to let him answer it, which she did. But, before he took the phone, you could hear other cells snapping all over the funeral home.

"Hello?"

"No, this is Rev. ****."

"Yes, she's is here, but she is rather busy at the moment. She is attending a funeral."

"Oh, that's OK. She'll call you back when the service is over."

9. We had a preacher a while ago...

who constantly griped about people who leave their cell phones on. Our response, everyone started texting him during his sermon. He always kept his phone on vibrate but you could just see him going nuts trying to resist the temptation to look at the darned thing.
