WORSHIP AIDS FOR THE SERIOUS BELIEVER

Do you ever struggle with a strong desire to raise your hands during those silent, reverent moments in church, when everything is 'decent and in order'? Is it hard to restrain yourself from saying "Hallelujah!" or "Praise the Lord!" aloud. Do you ever lose sleep Saturday nights with the fear that you might lose control and lift your hands in worship, only to open your eyes and discover you are the only one still standing, and every eye in church is on you?

If this describes you, you can now relax. We have an assortment of inventions created with you in mind. WORSHIP AIDS FOR THE SERIOUS BELIEVER has developed a face-saving line of devices that will guarantee that the sobriety of the service is not disturbed by your zeal.

For those Hand Raisers out there, we offer the beautifully-tooled 'John the Baptist Camel Hide Binder Strap', tanned by members of the official tribe of Levi in Israel, to exacting, ancient specifications. Just wrap one of these little gems around your chest and arms above the elbows, tying the thongs securely. You'll have all the freedom you need for necessary motions, such as hymn book holding, or passing the offering plate, but will only restrain those wild impulses raise your hands high to offer all.

Now for you shouters, we have a fine line of nearly invisible muzzles.No one but you need know you are wearing one. There is a quick-release snap opening for testifying and singing, after all, it's only those spontaneous outbursts we want to contain, isn't it? Imagine going to church with full confidence you won't make a fool out of yourself-- What a relief!

Perhaps you are not that impulsive, but someone in your family is, or perhaps one of your dearest friends has the disturbing condition of noisy worship. The JTB Strap and muzzles make excellent gift ideas. What better way to express, "I really enjoy worshipping with you,"? They will appreciate your thoughtful concern, and so will others nearby.

We also have, just in time for the holidays, items of a more discreet nature. Introducing: The Un-hearing Aid! These little babies slip right into your inner ear where no one, absolutely no one will see them. They are guaranteed to block out most music, and all speaking. When you can tell early on that the pastor's sermon has nothing you need to hear, just insert these Un-hearing Aids, settle back and enjoy a nap.

That, of course, leads to another recent development of our laboratories: The Sardisian Eyelid Props. When combined with the Un-hearing Aids, these Sardisian Eyelid Props give the appearance of being wide-awake, even while you snooze. No one will ever know-- unless you snore, but the muzzle will take care of that slight problem.

Remember, at WORSHIP AIDS FOR THE SERIOUS BELIEVER, we believe 'The spirit should be subject to the profit'.

LAODICEAN HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING

Is your church sanctuary too hot in the summer? Too cold in the winter? Has the deacon board been frustrated in their attempts to reach the middle ground of compromise between the polarized groups who are either too hot or too cold?

Does everyone in the congregation complain about the costs of cooling the building in the summer and heating it up in the winter?

We guarantee any church serviced by us will never be too hot or too cold. It will be kept at a convenient body temperature for everyone. There will be no 'hot-heads' or 'cold feet'. Everybody will be lulled to a sense of comfort by avoiding all extremes.

BIBLICAL INSULTS FOR EVERY OCCASION

Does your Christian witness hinder you from telling people what you really think of them? Introducing: Biblical Insults For Every Occasion. This handy, pocket-sized book will let you cut loose with an insult that will both soothe your bruised ego and preserve your spiritual image. Now, we all know that quoting scripture is one of the best ways to show your love and devotion to the truth, even if you happen to be in a hostile mood. Who's to say that even an insult, if taken from the pages of the Bible, won't bring the insultee under conviction, all while you enjoy the benefits of a stinging repartee without tarnishing your image.

Just consider the possibilities:

Suppose someone pulls out in front of you on the highway, cutting you off, endangering your family's life. Imagine their surprise when you key your C.B. and shout "JEHU!" at them.

Or, say you're a stranger in town, carrying a big Bible under your arm, when some local wise guys snicker and call you a Bible-believing Sissy. You'll know to disdainfully sneer back "Can any good thing come from -- (name of town) ?" Will that ever put them in their place!

Or, maybe you're at a hockey game, sporting your brand new John 3:16 sweatshirt, when some over-enthusiastic fan slops his soft drink all over you. He and everybody around already know you're a Christian, so he laughs, thinking you can't tell him off. The look on his face will be well worth it when you announce to everyone within earshot that he is nothing but a 'Cretan Slowbelly'! Will he ever be sorry!

Ah yes, this little booklet will save the day every time. No longer do Christians have to smolder silently, afraid of hurting their witness.'Biblical Insults' is a must for every Christian who mingles with worldly types who have no respect for anyone who can't hold his own in a verbal slugfest.

Tab references make it easy to find topical subjects within seconds, and a memory packet is included for those really anxious to enter this arena of spiritual warfare.

As you examine this useful little booklet, you will be amazed at what words are already in the Bible, just waiting for you to take them out of context and use in a variety of ways. Worldly people are so limited in their offensive vocabularies, you will be hailed as a fresh breeze of creativity to the world of insults. What an opportunity to expand your witness!

BE A FANATIC-- THE VIDEO SERIES

Bored with being a bump on a pew, an average Joe Christian? Why not consider becoming a RAVING, WILD-EYED FANATIC? Be a Fanatic, the Video Series is a powerful teaching series that gives all the information you will ever need in seven easy lessons. Your new style of witnessing will deeply impress friends and family. Though they may too timid to say, you'll be the envy of those in your church who wish they also had the courage of their convictions to go out like you, and offend the sensibilities of the public at large.

Tape One teaches the basics, like -- The Wild Eyed Look. Picture yourself in a public place such as a restaurant or bus. Suddenly your eyes glaze over as you stare unblinkingly at some stranger to get his notice. In no time, we guarantee, you'll have his complete, undivided attention. As you move in for the clincher, he'll be sure to listen to your every word, all because you'll have taken time to master this mighty witnessing tactic.

Tape Two covers how to tie up busy places such as stores or subways, or even major highways, while proclaiming your message without missing a minor point.

Tape Three covers lawyer fees, making Bail, jail cell witnessing, and making others think you are being persecuted for your faith.

Tape Four teaches you how to handle any De-programmers your parents or friends might contact to make you 'normal' again. You'll not only be able to handle these obnoxious people, but might even deprogram them using by our proven methods of reverse intimidation!

Tape Five will help you maintain a normal appearance and lifestyle, no matter what your actual mental state. No one will know whether or not you've finally crossed the fine line from fanaticism into insanity except you, and there's a good chance our program is so effective, you might not know either!

Tape Six shows you how to put down all those well-intentioned Christians who take it upon themselves to show you your faults. You'll be able to sling verses at them so fast they'll likely come under deep conviction and want to join you. This program will absolutely dull your ears to everything but what you want to hear.

Tape Seven wraps up the entire series with practical suggestions on how and where to begin. You'll learn how to alienate your family and others who love you most, and only want to save you from yourself. When you have hardened your heart to those at home, mastering these techniques, you'll receive instruction on taking it public, with tips on dominating call-in shows and getting guest appearances on local T.V. shows. Also covered are ways to become a media event to attract the attentions of magazines and newspapers.

We guarantee complete satisfaction. Your life will never be the same, nor will the lives you come in contact with. Just think of the potential for forcing thousands into a decision for or against the truth. Those who are offended probably wouldn't have become believers anyway, so you'll have helped them reach that decision that much earlier. What a useful service you'll be performing!

So come on, quit sitting there so normal, Be a Fanatic! The world is waiting for someone like you!
