He often uses references to animated shows or characters in his sermons, even if he always knows I'm probably the only person in the pews who will know what he's talking about! Everything about this topic is so cool. Has your preacher ever said anything about Foster's in his sermons? Like what kinda stuff, then?

Everything about this topic is so cool. Has your preacher ever said anything about Foster's in his sermons? Like what kinda stuff, then? No, but it's only a matter of time, I guess. He almost ALWAYS mentions SOME animated series each Sunday. Today it was "Scooby Doo's" turn. He used that old premise about how you think you know someone, but find out they are someone very different, using the the way EVERY episode ends, with the Scooby gang finding the alleged "ghost" or "monster", and pulling off a mask to reveal some human we'd already been introduced to. He did mention that he actually did NOT like that show, because the endings were always so predictable, though. I'm really about the only member of our little congregation who "gets it", when he brings up animation, so he always sorta calls on me for backup! He preaches at two other Methodist churches in the area on his circuit, and they have bigger congragations with more young people, so hopefully he has more members who know what he is talking about at those two churches. I really like the guy, since he has one of those "off-the-wall" senses of humor that I guess some people might find a bit too "out there" for a preacher, but it really connects with some people. I know that our church members are quite fond of him, and quickly learned to accept his looks, earring and all, but some of the other churches have members who refuse to take him seriously because he does not fit their mental image of what a preacher ought to look like, which is some old guy in this austere black suit. pitbulllady

I have a friend in the Popeye community, Pastor Steve, who writes long essays about the Popeye characters in reference to religion. I guess one just makes the other more interesting for him.

Nope, they don't have webtv, and it's a local South Carolina station. They're affiliated with NBC, which DOES have a website, MSNBC.com, but it has nothing to do with the local stations in different states. Most of the larger US cities have at least one tv station that is either independent, or affiliated with one of the national networks- Fox, NBC, ABC, or CBS, but they all have a local news broadcast, usually two times each night, at 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm, where they give the news and weather of the state and the city. I don't know about Norway, but I know that in many countries, ALL the tv stations are more or less national, and owned at least in part by the national government.

He always says that people will get more out of the service if they can relate to the topic. I know we're not allowed to post anything religeous, so if anyone wants to watch last week's service online(yeah, they have 'um online now! ^^), PM me and I can give ya the link. This month's theme is Click. Ya know, the movie with Adam Sandler.

Here in the Detroit area, weather forecasters are all 60-year-old, grey-haired humourless types who don't even crack a smile or make jokes when reading the weather, so we don't get any "It's Hot In To-PEE-KAAAA!"-style forecast readings. Literally, they're all walking corpses.

Literally, they're all walking corpses. That's the sort of weather forecasters that the Foster's crew was making fun of in "Squeeze the Day", since apparently Detroit isn't the only place where these guys are found. Around here, most are young and try to be comedians, with varying degrees of success. One of our oldest local weather guys, who is now semi-retired, has always been a very popular tv personality, and is quite funny. The young guy who did the Bloo impersonation is one of his successors on the same local channel. He's originally from New Orleans, and seems to inject a bit of that South Louisiana party attitude into his broadcast. pitbulllady
