This is the second time I have seen a church sign in my city so questionable I had to stop and take a picture of it.

As funny as it is, can anyone explain to me what the phrase on the sign and church have to do with each other??




(Get some what??)

I guess Come And Get Some Religion. Come Get And Saved. C0me And Get Something.

Food of life?

This might be a ridiculous thought but how about going in and asking them yourself what it means. I think it has done its job of getting your attention at the very least.

This one is particularly good.

I think wolfknight is right. Come and get some religion. But like bleack said go and ask, but that is what they want you in their church.

Alot of churches worry about having people come to them. Its kind of dumb because thats not what churches should be about. God would have them worry more about improving their spiritual life instead of worry about silly things like that.

Come get some of this!


But, really, that's a very strange sign....

If you mean the 'come and get some' sign as being strange I agree. Usually those words are fighting words or at other times said with more sexual overtones. Maybe that is just my mind lol cause family say it often over the phone when they talk about making or having good food for lunch or dinner and then are like 'come and get some'. I am sure the feelings behind the sign are of the latter variety.

LOL, no that's exactly what went through my mind, too. I had a friend with me the first time I saw it, and we couldn't stop laughing about it. It just seemed like the last thing that should be on a sign for a church.

Hilarious!!

I like that one, Clovis. Haven't seen that one before. That's going up in my top favourites. One of my favourites (and I haven't got a pic) I saw outside a church when i was walking through the city, which read:

GET RICH QUICK *

* store up treasure in Heaven

The get-rich scheme with the all-important disclaimer.....

Funniest one I saw was a typo (I assume)

"God is searching the world for his piece."

Just a mental image of some guy skulking around in the bushes looking for the gun he tossed after a crime or something.

No thanks

Always cracks me up

Come and get some of the wonderful spirit of God. Come and get some happiness, fulfillment and prayer. Come and fill your spirit with God's spirit.Come and get some knowledge you can't do without. Come and get some understanding of the bible and Jesus Christ and some fellowship to boot. Come and get some required leaning needed to get to heaven. Come and get some of the holy spirit. I could go on and on.

Always a pleasure

I agree whole heartily. I hate those signs, not because of them being church signs, but trying to get your attention, talking in what they think is your lingo, to pull you inside. And for what, to join something that is entirely different, and not as hip as their sign? It's almost like a bait and switch stint. It's baits you in with such a lingo tactic, but then tries to switch you into believing in their religion and attending their church, in which you don't believe in the first place. I think to get true church members, just have a simple invite, like I have seen most signs in the past, and still some honest ones today have done and still do. Wouldn't that get the best attentance in something that was upfront in the first place? If you have to try to get their attention to get them in, I really don't think you want them as part of your congregation in the first place, and I really don't think you want to get disappointed as they become disagreeable to what they always disbelieved in the first place. I find it underhanded, and dishonest.
If I go in and join any religious congregation, it's because the sign says 'welcome all, and services are at these times'. Yeah, it hasn't gotten me to join, but maybe it's because it would be agreeable for me, and more than likely I would end up being more aggreeable not going for them.

Yes, I'm reading the sexual overtones too, which I think they went too far. And then to say it's the latter, would more than likely get them a hostile audience, I'm thinking.
