nomadpete Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES CHURCH over LIGHTNING STRIKE ! ONLY IN TEXAS... Drummond's Bar began construction on expansion of their building to increase their business. In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the bar from expanding with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground! After the bar burning to the ground by a lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer ", until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church . . ."was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means." In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise. The judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not."
Old Koreelah Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 "we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not" -reminds me of when Yuri Gagarin returned in triumph as the first human in space. He was introduced to the Soviet leader, Krushchev, who eventually asked "Comrade did you see God up there?" When Yuri replied that he had, Krushchev, leader of atheistic socialism says "Just as I feared- you must tell nobody!" When later the Pope asked the same question, Gagarin says "No, your Holiness I saw no God." The Pope says "Just as I feared- you must tell nobody!"
