Emmanuel Redemption Church

[jomifl]

What is the connection between the above named church in Nigeria and $46?

[jno]

the bishop has just informed you that you have won $46 in the church raffle, if you send him your credit card details?

[jomifl]

No jno, but sort of in the right direction, I don't expect you could imagine the right answer.

[wolf63]

jomifl - please don't tell us the answer. I haven't a clue as to the answer but I am bored and it isn't time for bed.

[RATTER15]

If you pay them $46 they will forgive you your sins and guarantee you a place in heaven?

[jomifl]

Ratter, if only
Wolf63, I will not give the answer before monday, so think the unthinkable.

[jomifl]

If only it was that naive Birdie.:-(

[wolf63]

I have ground to a halt. I am amazed by the number of different churches in Nigeria, some have their own radio stations and one (at least) a TV station. The only $46 that I could find was the £46million that the pastors were scamming (sorry earning) off the parishioners.

Atheism is much cheaper. :-)

Any hints?

[jomifl]

$46 is the fee charged by priest in that church for a special service....

[jomifl]

^...a priest..

[Tilly2]

Cirumcision costs that much. (Can't do that dollar sign)

[jomifl]

No Tilly2 this is a purely 'spiritual' service.

[Celticv11]

Exorcism?

[Tilly2]

Baptism by total immersion.

[boxtops]

Is this how much they charge you for distance learning?

[sandyRoe]

It's the fee they charge to redeem the soul of a departed loved one from Hell. This covers the cost of buying a scapegoat to carry the dear departed sins.

[jomifl]

Sorry Sandy, it is more the other way around.

[Tilly2]

Disinterment?

[naomi24]

To ensure that a soul travels to the right place - heaven?

[Tilly2]

Does it have anything to do with the name of the church? The Emmanuel bit I mean.
