Funny story - I’d had one too many mimosas at Sunday brunch visiting friends out of town, and on the way home, I (as the passenger) saw one of these billboards and decided to call.
I got the voicemail, hung up, and forgot all about it.
A few days later I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize and let it go to voicemail, as one does. It was that church. They left a message with the whole Jesus spiel going on about are you saved, do you pray, is Jesus in your life, etc etc, we can help, we have the answer, blah blah.
So yeah. That’s it. Not that exciting. But that’s what happens when you call. At least that’s what happened that one time.
If there is a God, he’ll have to beg for my forgiveness.

If God is everywhere all the time, why have I not already met him?
Is that the actual number that’s in Hebrews 9:27? What foresight.
First of all, through god all things are possible. So jot that down
Wait what country is this? I’ve never seen a phone number in that format before
Country? USA. They’re everywhere in the Midwest.
All up and down I-95 on the east coast, too.
They’re also all over the place in the south
But US phone numbers are XXX-XXX-XXXX, this is XXX-XXX-XXXXX
In the North America Dialing Plan, 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx is the full number. From land-line phones, you have to add the “1”. Cell phone carriers add the “1” (the country code) and just assume you want to talk within the US/Canada. Under the NADP digits after the 11th (including the assumed “1”) are dropped, so the extra digit on these billboards is valid, just a gross mis-statement.
I get rage-angry when I see the ones that show the old (outdated) evolutionary model from primate to Hominid with the text “evolution=lie”. They’re all over where I live. Bastards.
That’s a terrific point. I’ve seen those billboards everywhere though, but I’m guessing they don’t get a lot of phone calls with an invalid phone number?
I wonder if it’s actually some sort of tax fraud scheme or something.
See my response
I was thinking it could be a number with a country code just formatted weirdly, but the only one it could be is cambodia which is +855 and the lengrh would still be wrong
USA. We have this billboard around all over the country. 1 is implied, 855 is a commercial area code like the more famous 800, and we have 3-4 letters associated with each number they used to be on phone buttons back when phones had buttons, they’re the same letters you used when texting on a flip phone back in the 00s.
Huh, I’m old.
Whoever downvoted a person asking a genuine question because something was not familiar: you’re a stupid piece of shit. Get fucked. You have no business contributing to anything.
Umm ok. I don’t believe you, but if it’s somehow true, God and I have a few issues with his bullshit system that we need to discuss.
Like Hell am I meeting God! When I die, I’m partying with all the cool people in Hell while all the Christians calling Jesus “too woke” go up to Heaven according to their beliefs!
If you acknowledge Hell. Then you also have to acknowledge thats a place of pure torment. Otherwise if you see it as a place of pure fun and party its your definition of heaven.
Torment for who?
Per the biblical description, for the souls that are damned to suffer there. How you define it is up to you.
I have a laundry list of complaints and some suggestions. Mostly though I’m curious how the Tyrant is worse at his job than Gary Gygax.
Uhm akshually, you do meet God, there’s just no one there
