Ladies & gentlemen Welcome! To the Freighting, disturbing, and fanatically religious 700 Club! Here on this thread, yes that’s right this very thread! For this week and this week only! I will be recording the basics of stories! Now many of those in the audience are asking why any body would want to do such a thing? Who knows! Maybe I’m bored? Maybe I’m suffering from strange effect of my migraine, may be Oompa-Loompas secretly rule the world and this thread has secret messages in it (bird’s nest to eagle; Drop the bomb, I repeat drop the bomb), or maybe I’m just crazy! Now seeing how pat & Tim (that’s his son to those who don’t know) were nice enough to break their lovely show up into segment’s I shall Document it the same way!

And now with out further Ado let’s get on to the main event
(Note; since I got this Idea half way through the show the first three articles are going to be very poorly documented… not that they were very interesting any how)
Story one: Naval doctor man!
Aright, seeing as this is my second time watching the seven hundred club, my original impression of watching pat (who didn’t make an appearance tonight Ironically) was that he was merely trying to bring these modern times back to the ‘good’ old day’s of 4000 years ago, now I’d say that this story was not offensive of mayjorly biased at all the general jist of thing was that there was a military naval (in the desert?) doctor in the army who’s courage and ‘faith’ won him an award that hadn’t been given out since the 70’s the only biased question they asked through the whole thing was ‘did you think god helped you live through your encounters in Iraq?’ which he replied yes. Moving on


Story two; Earthquakes?
This story was very short, (like two minutes) so there’s not much to say here. You all know about the earth quakes Indonesia right? Well it was talking about how a christen charity group was improving things… alright nothing bad here either! (Not bad Pat! Not bad!)


Story three; an unidentified church in Kansas hates gays.
Also very short. The story pretty much gave our prez. A pat on the back for banning Phelps’ craziness at funerals, the strange thing was that they never Identified WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) by name… strikes me as odd… afraid Phelps won’t invite you to the party pat?


Story Four; was sponsored by the Department of Home land defense
Here’s when things get a little crazy, guys… Now I’m not one to speak Ill of the dead (especially soldiers), but this one was crazy, Now the story was about a soldier named Tony who died in Iraq a few months ago, he seemed like a like a nice person(nice to people, and such), but when it came to Anti war protester this guy was a total ass. Saying stuff like they were defying god if they protested jeez. Seriously I though the entire Idea of god supporting a war was thrown out after the crusades.


Story five; Trouble at home… and a book plug.
(Just a note guys I was kind of distracted by the sheer number of planes we have in our air force.)Ok the story it’s self I had very little problems with.
I’m sure you’ve all seen them The stories about hard working (pretty much) single mom’s who have husbands over seas.(I don’t really mind them) Yeah it started out as one of those when suddenly it switched to a picture of planes And a shit load of them too. There must have been like 50 (I.E. 25…no…30…maybe 35?) any way the story went one about the stereo typical stuff, the only thing I felt wrong with it was that one mother told her child that that her husband was helping people in Iraq (maybe I’m looking at this the wrong way or something). After this story the real fun starts! I went to get some stuff for my headache so I missed the ladies name but they started plugging a book called hero’s at home, and interviewing the author, the author was a real bitch, and I mean a real bitch, first she pretty much called any one who didn’t support the war, equivalent to the Vietnam protesters, went through the liberal media thing (to an extreme), and said any one who isn’t religious is incapable of supporting our boys, after this she left with some (very(like to the point of puking)) cheesy jokes!


Story six; Give me lot’s of money and you’ll get rich!
Now seeing as this was Memorial Day, military based stories the connection here was paper thin (only because the guy was in the military). Now let’s begin Wuan & Victoria fansago (I think that’s how you spell it) had recently purchased a house and were starting to live out the American dream, unfortunately for them, the American dream can quickly become the American nightmare if you over use your credit card. And well as the story goes they fell in to debt… 75,000$ worth of debt now the fansago’s had been watching the 700 club fro some time now and saw that they need to clear their debt (IRS warnings aren’t enough ,eh?) so what Wuan dose do why what any one with 75,000 dollars of debt would do join the seven hundred club (I think it costs 100$ to join but correct me if I’m wrong). Now they Miraculously managed to pay of most their (either pat’s giving out lot’s of money or their very luck in my opinion).

And tonight’s episode ended with Tim dully(yet creepily) Praying for random people in the audience. And that’s pretty much it guy’s I’m tired as hell so have fun discussing!
