MURFREESBORO, TN—Middle Tennessee Baptist Church was having problems with church members failing to silence their phones during service.

But not anymore, thanks to the church’s new, state-of-the-art ejection system installed in every seat throughout the sanctuary.

...

“We hope he’s alright, but most of all, we hope that next time he visits, he turns that puppy on vibrate,” he added.

Love the Bee.
Amen to the part about back rubs. This is not the movie theater.

The first person ejected needed an ambulance ride to the hospital.
I predict a lot of lawsuits in their future.

The problem with churches is that they are made up of people.

Prideful, sinful people.

God have mercy on us all.

I remember a phone ringing while out pastor was praying... the ring tone was “take me out to the ball game”. He continued with his prayer, and after he said “amen” he yelled, “Play ball!”

He had a sense of humor and got his point across.

In our church, we have one group that specifically announces before the meeting that everyone should turn off or silence their cell phones. Like clockwork, one woman’s phone goes off during the meeting. All the time. She’s a very sweet woman so no one wants to be harsh with her but she never listens. It never registers with her. Its kind of a joke now.

What I’d really like is the ability to trigger the Claymore in the steering columns of the jackasses who insist on texting while driving.

Had Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye serenading the sanctuary one Sunday. That was pretty funny.
