I have no idea what this means, if it is not sexual. I’m only assuming it is not sexual because it is on a church marquee, but can’t think of an alternative.
I’m pretty sure it is attempting to be a reference to a passage in James. The probable original message would be something like “watch what you say because your words can get you in trouble”.
James 3:2-5
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
its a reference to the bible 4:6 i havent studied the bible in full so it probably means= Men are hard to convert or break and tall men are even harder. pen is mightier than the sword and all that.
I could not find a single book with verse 4:6 that would make any sense in the context of that quote, so I doubt it. I think the numbers are just randomly colored.
Looking beyond the obvious sexual conotation, I don’t understand the religious meaning of this phrase. From a sexual point of view, I can verify this phrase to be absolutely true……from past experiences. Praise the Load!
My own deciphering of the intended religious meaning is a spin off of that James passage, too; i.e. saying the wrong thing can lead to being humbled. “Pride goeth before a fall.” “Loose lips sink ships.” “Follow me around. I don’t care. I’m serious. If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They’ll be very bored.” “I did not have sex with that woman.” (::snicker:: That one is doubly appropriate.) etc.
I’m taller than six foot. Any volunteers for an experiment?
Thanks, I’ll pass.
Worth a go :D
Whaddya think a 4 inch tongue will do for a 5’7″ woman???
;)
Word
*gigglish* I agree. *snickers*
I’m on the right blog.

I assume the knees is meant to be a reference to prayer.
I think the tongue could be a reference to either
* The man deciding to confess his sins
* The preaching of the gospel by the man in the pulpit

That explains the tongue bit then.
I didn’t preach that bit of James in the series I helped with back in the day…. one of the others took that.
Government officials, architects, store owners, pastors, and so forth should all employ a pubescent boy as a proof-reader and vulgarities consultant.
But on the other hand, that means we wouldn’t have these gems….
I laughed even before I got to that part. Apparently Wednesday will start at 7 PM this week.
haha, I didn’t even noticed that!

All hail the great Odin (7pm)
What a cocky church! She should be glad that jesus does not exist by the reason of her cockiness.
Hee-hee, cocky…
My c*ck is like a kickstand. the vigorous application of preaching/licking only makes me stand up straighter (and lean a little to the left)…
OMG that’s funny
LOL
there are websites that have a bunch of funny church signs

You’re right, I totally LOLed. That font is out of 1997! Who’s their graphic designer, a 14-year old kid with a geocities webpage?!
Oh yeah, and the blowjob joke, also.
So hilarious. Really, you’d think someone at that church would have realized…
