BEER JOINT SUES CHURCH (HUMOR)

TEXAS BEER JOINT SUES CHURCH over LIGHTNING STRIKE !
ONLY IN TEXAS ...

Texas Beer Joint Sues Church In Mt. Vernon, Texas, Drummond's
Bar began construction on expansion of their building to increase their
business.

In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to
block the bar from expanding with petitions and prayers.
Work progressed right up until the week before the grand
reopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground!

After the bar burning to the ground by a lightning strike, the
church folks were rather smug in their outlook,bragging about the power
of prayer, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the
church . . . "was ultimately responsible for the demise of his
building, either through direct or indirect actions or means."

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.

The judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the
defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented.........

"I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but it appears from
the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of
prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not."
