Can you walk the walk or talk the talk?

Question

Brother Lee Love was a preacher

Evangelist by trade

It would take a leap of faith

To believe how much he made!

The punters rolled in two by two

And 4x4's as well

The cash tills singing Songs of Praise

To keep their souls fom h**l

Now Brother Lee was on the stage

And he was raising Cain

Lifting the audience to the skies

And swooping down again

The crowd were swaying side to side

They all loved Brother Lee

His eyes lit up, his face aglow

Said," Bring your sins to me!"

So Norman on his crutches came,

Stuttering Steven too

And there before the Altar said

" We place our faith in you!"

So Brother Lee beseeched the crowd

To pray for Norm and Steve

And sending them behind a screen

He told them to BELIEVE.

Brother Lee then turned around

And faced the wide-eyed crowd

Tipped back his head and raised his arms

And prayed to GOD out loud

"Give Norman back his legs to walk,

Oh Lord to You we pray!"

Then turning to the screen he cried,

" Throw your sticks away!"

"Unlock Steve's tongue, let words run free,

Oh Lord we thee beseech!"

Then turning to the screen he said,

" Steve, bless us with your speech!"

The congregation held it's breath,

A fly stopped in mid-hover....

And from behind the screen was heard

"N-N-Norman's f-f-fallen o-over!"

Thank you and goodnight!

Answer 1

shades of Peter Popoff and the myriad others...it would be funnier if I did not see so many of my patients sending in their last and only discretionary monies to become "prayer partners", trying to buy a miracle.

Answer 2

Amen and Hallelujah Brother!  Didn't you hear Steve say that? Can I hear an Amen? And the crowd shouted, "Amen!" as the two men were quietly ushered out with the former church worker from behind the screen.  I don't know which is worse, the preacher or the true believers. A lot of that in my line of work.

Answer 4

Brother Foggisan

ye of little faith

be careful here

Brother Lee watching

and he has the canes!

A fun look at the "evangelists"  that live well, preying on people as they pray.

Answer 5

Did you know that the Reverend Al Sharpton's first gig was at the age of 9, as "The Boy Evangelist" on the Michael Jackson tour? True story.

Answer 6

Very funny. Sometimes I enjoy watching televangelists. There is no end to peoples' credulity.

Answer 7

You captured this topic, Kudos!

You would think all would learn after the Bakers, and a few others.

Certainly puts a damper on those that do good, like Salvation Army,

for one.
