  A pastor who has a circus church is usually in tent to deceive.

  If your in-tent-ions are to have great blessings, plant-your-best-seed and buy the $1500.00 model for your kiddies! (I think the clowns ARE included with this model).

  And it will be Your Best Tent Yet!

  The $1500 dollar model comes with 20 folding chairs, sawdust for the ground, a stage, sound system and 25 Funeral fans.
  For the first 100 callers we will also include three of Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show DVD’s to help get you started on your way to financial freedom, preaching town to town and Rolling in those special “Love” offerings.
  Act now and we will take $100.00 off the purchase of a Rake-o-Matic coin sweeper. You will be the envy of all your self-anointed preacher friends.

  They don’t make giant plastic play churches like they used to. And not one clown included! Start your future megachurch leaders with this charming little plastic tent church! Have a future clown ministry inspired in your own backyard. Why send your children to a neighbor’s giant plastic play church tent when you can afford to get one for your own?

  It reminds me of those ads that used to be in old comic books! Something like the sea monkeys…

  Sweet, Don brings in the tie-in from a previous post (Rake-o-Matic)! Someone’s been paying attention!

  Hey, Lake Wobegon has nothing on our little narrative! I love this Small Town Journal for Christians in the Big Bad World. Besides I need to keep track of the latest goings on of the nefarious Coddington Borax.
  btw Angus, do you have a post on the back story about CB? I would like to know the whole Borax/mule relationship thingy. (I seem to remember a commercial from the 60’s about Borax and a 20 mule team but I can’t make the connection if that is it.) Thanx

  Gee. It’s a good thing I was trained in apologetics and circus skills from Ringling Brothers!

  Don’t buy from here! don’t be suckered. Any love gift amount to TBN this month will get you this.

  Comment by Don — July 29, 2010 @ 7:53 am

  Ha! That TBN version is a liberal sideshow tent. That version does not have three rings, they believe in the modal system of one ring taking on three different functions.
  No, you should stick with the advertised English Standard Tent.

  I have to admit, I want to make a postcard of this and send it to our old church. Alas, I’d be juggling air , . .

  Comment by Angus — July 29, 2010 @ 10:28 am

  Don, you can search the word Borax and get the basic story, but frankly the whole Borax/20 mule team connection didn’t strike me until later. Completely unintentional.

  It’s sad how much truth there is in this.

  Comment by Jim Pemberton — July 29, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

  Playing church usually starts with an attempt to tame the wild animals and ends up a balancing act.

  Comment by Carol — July 29, 2010 @ 7:31 pm

  ..and the sad part, someone wearing a hideous plaid suit yelling “Step right up…” beware, this is not someone who has studied the Bible or read anything from Spurgeon! And be careful if you see a bearded lady or sword swallower name Betty. Just say you were warned!

  Doesn’t the tent come with puppets supplied? Or do those come in along with the congregation/audience?

• 

  Comment by Carol — July 30, 2010 @ 5:48 pm

  It says about a make believe congregation.. … I suppose that for many circus churches, there may be some sheep searching for a make believe pastor!

  hahaha!! This makes me think of my Precious Moments Nativity playset. Really, no joke!
