Jim sent me these ’stupid church signs’.
In these days of photoshop I can’t vouch for them being authentic. However they don’t look tampered with and I remember hearing Christians say some of these things.
If you want to see more I ran across a whole collection of them on Church Sign Generator (which ironically is a site where you can make your own realistic-looking church signs).

1Hee, hee. I recognize #3. I think I mentioned here that that was a popular catchphrase I often heard from the pulpit.
The last one I just saw on a church in my neighborhood a month or two ago.

2Having been on too many church committees, I think the fourth one is actually pretty good.

3I’m not sure all of them are “stupid,” (esp. the committee one: it does make a point), but most of them are silly.
As far as the last one: having the hell scared out, that sounds harshly Calvinist. Could it be tongue-in-cheek?

4Check this one out:
Poor Word Choice
When I first read it, I was nearly splitting my sides laughing so hard. I did remove the church name (that’s the only alteration I did).

6Yes! Number 3 was one of my favourites! Usually said sternly in response to a bit of honest teenage questioning… lol

7seekingsomething, I’ve heard no. 3 a number of times too - as a warning against straying outside the orthodoxy of the person who said it.
