McGonigle’s General Store and Diner

Posted in: Dubious Photojournalism

McGonigle’s is the gathering place for the Fellows of the League of Tyndale to have a morning cup of joe and some friendly biblical debate. The back room is often the site of Scripture reading, an impromptu prayer meeting, or a spirited defense of the Doctrines of Grace. Of course, lunch wouldn’t be the same without one of Duke McGonigle’s famous BLTs and a bottle of orange pop. If you stop by for a visit, be prepared to defend your theology and don’t you dare order a diet soda with your BLT. It ain’t right.

    The ‘Dingy Diner’ doctrine ought to be discussed first.

    If the waitstaff are dressed better than you, it’s out of your price range.

    Thanks for the archived post :)

    Man cannot live by BLT alone…

    Mc’s reputation for hygene is not the greatest, so be sure to wipe your silverware on your pant’s leg before you eat.

    At first glance, I thought this was the earliest recorded attempt at holding church in a bar, a practice tried and failed ’till recent years.

    Are you all sure this is not the lobby of a new emergent, seeker sensitive church someplace in Montana or Wyoming? Sorta got that cowboy theme going one, here, perhaps. Trying to get all the rodeo riders to come to Jesus? I will bet there is a mechanical bull someplace!

    It does have that diner/saloon feel to it. Perhaps this was the first attempt at “Salvation Saloon”, something caught between purpose driven relevancy and your best BLT now….

    Those BLTs will make you very sick and weak if you are forced to eat one, so make sure you add a large side order of Reformation Fries to keep the toxins from getting into your system.

    Well, actually it’s “turkey bacon”, lettuce, tomato on “Ezekiel Bread”….and ya really love bread baked fresh over human dung…this is the real thing, and not that fancy stuff sold at health food stores….We don’t want any of our guests to eat anything that isn’t Biblically accurate…
