Phones in Church???
PHONES IN CHURCH
>
> A man in Topeka, Kansas decided to write a book about churches around
> the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working
> east from there.
>
> Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making
> notes.
>
> He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued
> with a sign, which read 'Calls:
> $10,000 a minute.' Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and
> the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a
> direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to
> GOD.
>
> The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued
> to visit churches in Seattle, Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee,
> and around the United States, he found more phones, with the same
> sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
>
> Finally, he arrived in Pennsylvania. Upon entering a church in Reading,
> behold - he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign
> read
> 'Calls: 35 cents.'
>
> Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, 'Reverend, I have been in
> cities all across the country and in each church I have found this
> golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and
> that I could talk to GOD, but in the other churches the cost was
> $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?'
>
> The pastor, smiling replied, 'Son, you're in Pennsylvania now. You're in
> God's Country, It's a local call.'
