Having just started a mega-church for Asian-American Quakers living in Montana, Pastor Jim was encouraged by the large turnout.

I was a member of that church until they found out I wasn’t Asian, or a Quaker. I thought one out of three wasn’t bad.

Pator Jim was very upset when afterwards the Barnicle Group sent him an apology letter explaining that their staff had accidentally used “Times New Roman” instead of “Quaker” and data from “Hong Kong” instead of “Montana” in their survey tallies and analysis. “We deeply regret any trouble this may have caused you and your ministry and are perfectly willing to do another survey of “Montanans for Global Warming” at a discounted rate…”

“Nabal Ben-Nimrod” Hebrew: “Nabal” = “foolish, senseless, fool” (Psalm 14: 1 and I Samuel 25:25); “Ben” = “son of” (I Chronicles 15: 18); “Nimrod” = “Founder of Babel” (Genesis 10: 10) [see Strong's Concordance equivalents].
I am confused? Is this an intentional play on Hebrew words? Literally, “Foolish son of Babylon?” Is this what you intend to commuincate?

This could also have been captioned, “Joel Osteen’s congregation thinned noticeably after he repented and began teaching sound doctrine.”

Hmm…maybe he needs to find ways to be relevant to the Asian-American Quaker youth in Montana.

Could it possibly be the email they sent out that coffee would no longer be available at service times?

When the announcements commenced and the Pastor told the congregation that it would be a vegetarian pot luck dinner, the crowd thinned out…they were not ready for green bean casserole…
Or this was the result of announcing that the morning clown mime performance was cancelled in favor of the guest Expository Preacher…
When they announced it was for Asian Quakers of Montana…it was severely reduced as the majority of Asian Quakers never migrated to Montana….
A megachurch is a terrible thing to waste….

All the Arminians were suddenly raptured and only the Calvinists were left behind.
