John lives directly opposite a Seeker Sensitive church in the north eastern suburbs of Adelaide. One morning a smartly dressed man carrying a briefcase knocked on John's door. When John answered, the salesman began listing all of the available local services ranging from marriage counselling to How to be a rock star, and all for a measly $500 per year for 5 years.
John asked, "What services do you offer exactly? " To which the salesman replied...
...teen pregnancy counselling, relational counselling, sexual abuse counselling, self improvement advice, fashion advice, life coaching, finance and investment advice, real estate advice, Learjet maintenance advice, raising teenagers advice, drug and alcohol counselling...
John stopped the salesman mid sentence and said, "Hey, you're not one of those religious nuts who wants to tell me that some guy called Jesus died for my sins on a cross, and that unless I repent of those sins an trust in this Jesus with everything I have, I will spend eternity in Hell are you?
The salesman laughed, and waving his hands in front of him said, "Oh no sir we would never do anything to upset our clients.. ha, ha, ho, ho..."
Pointing in the direction of the Seeker Church John said, "Tell me, why would I pay you $500 a year for five years when I can get the exact same thing over there every Sunday on a 10% instalment plan, and tax time guilt trip?
The salesman shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk away. Suddenly, in a moment of enlightenment John cried, "Wait, on second thoughts, you're probably cheaper".
