A Jesus prayer rug, a bulemic fish

Mar 23, 2006 21:16

Who else got the propaganda from the sketchy church that sent a paper prayer rug with a truly creepy picture of Jesus on it that you're supposed to return within 24 hours so someone else can use it? If you did, you know how hilarious this is. Was the mimeograph upon which the scary visage of Jesus was reproduced millions of times blessed by some ( Read more... )

A couple of years ago, in my dormitory hallway there was a piece of gum smashed into the rug that looked like Jesus...

Haha. I want to convince people that something random like a crumpled up piece of paper or an oil spill looks exactly like John the Baptist.

I get those every few months. I always want to hang them on the wall just to fuck with people, but my husband says they're TOO creepy, and give him nightmares.

Spoilsport.

I'd love to see how long it lasts hanging on my front door. Or alternatively, what kind of comments I'd get for hanging it in my cubicle.
(yay Chris Robinson icon)

Yay for Chris icons, indeed! Do ya have the new Crowes DVD? I haven't made it to the store yet.

Shame on me.

No, shame on me... I don't even know about this... I'm sure it's a purchase I'll be making once I find out though.

I think a dead fish named Filet would be tasty.
If I liked fish...

He wouldn't be much more than a niblet though... and I try to stay away from purple food as a rule.

My sister and her roommate got one of those "rugs." They promptly taped it up on a kitchen cupboard- it fits right in with all the other purposefully tacky religious iconography they have. I guess the church isn't getting that one back...hope they can do without it. If it's a problem, I imagine my sister will be smote.

Yeah, they won't be getting mine back either, as I'm saving it to show people who haven't had the fortune to receive one of their own. That I find it hilarious probably makes me a smoting candidate as well.

Yeah they were coming around a few years ago, did they ask you for money? b/c back in the day, that was associated with a huge scam.

Okay, it's an optical illusion, not a miracle

LMAO ... it never worked for me, as I am one of the faithless, and I don't have binocular vision, so they never work, lol.

Of course they wanted money... but they were willing to pay the postage for me to send them the paper prayer rug back. The illusion isn't really all that worth it anyway... It's like you can sort of see what they might be talking about, but I certainly don't have the kind of faith to read between THOSE particular lines. I love crazy, misguided junk mail.
