The Presidential Prayer Team Wants to hear MY story!
Oh, this is gonna be so much fun. You just would not believe the shit I have gotten away with on this PPT. They send me all manner of crap (hats, mugs, key rings, books, etc., which I just throw away - except for my Official PPT Cap and one Pray the Vote pin) for free and I get Xmas cards from all kinds of Winger Pols.


Dear Tom,

Tuesday, September 18 marks the end of the sixth year of life-changing ministry for The Presidential Prayer Team … and I want to give you an opportunity to glorify God in celebration!

We’ve set up a special Anniversary Wall where I’m asking you today to take a moment to tell us how the Lord has used PPT to inspire your prayer life and draw you closer to Him. I’d also ask you to leave a brief prayer of encouragement for PPT.

I know it’ll be a huge blessing to me and our staff, as well as to the thousands of fellow PPT members who will read it as they post their testimonies and prayer.

After you enter your story and prayer, we’ll also give you an opportunity to invest in the ongoing prayer ministry of The Presidential Prayer Team with a special Anniversary donation to help us recruit and encourage more people to pray for our President, our nation and our Troops.

I look forward to hearing from you right away. I can’t wait to read YOUR story!


John Lind, President/CEO

1. Why doesn't he pray for some tooth whitener?
Seriously - most of those guys have blindingly white teeth, but his are kinda yucky.

3. huh...
They ask for your prayers and then your ca$h. "An opportunity to invest..." What a crock! Scratch an organization like this and unearth pure hucksterism.

5. Oh, it's hilarious, Neecy.
I am sure they do quite well with the O'Reilly crowd, but they just crack me up.

Until recently, I had posters and cards from them all over my office in my home.

But I am experiencing a shift of gears in my lifestyle and didn't want to make the wrong impression on someone who might come over for the first time.

First Impressions and all that...

10. oh hell yeah!
I think it's funny to have the stuff displayed in the manner of hunting trophies but I'd also be mortified if anyone strolled in unexpectedly and saw any of it.

So, whatcha gonna pray for?

6. Praise!
Let it rip brother. Let 'em know how you've accepted Gee W as your own personal Overlord and Savior from Sanity. Let 'em know about how your walls are lined with pics of the Dear Leader and all the animal sacrifices you make to him.

Oh wait, that's MY story. Sorry.

p.s.

Don't you dare pass up that "opportunity" to invest!

11. Funny You Should Say That! I'm Piss Yellow
Go for it Tom!

Give 'em Hell!

I'd be too chickenshit to even let them know where I live.

9. You should go into business with this guy
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 08:00 PM by Canuckistanian
Send him a confidential note saying:

"Listen, buddy, we both love Christ, but we're grown-ups here, right? How much are you pulling from this deal? You got some sweet operation here.

This is what I'll do for you. Let me take over the 'local franchise', and I'll double the revenue. And if I do, I want 70% of the take. No questions asked. Just keep feeding me the merchandise and I'll deliver the numbers. We got a deal?

Yours in Christ,
TomInTib"

You get the idea.
