It's probably cold comfort - as opposed to a warm acknowledgement - but these kinds of icky-sticky sermons are the bread-and-butter of all sorts of Christian religions. Just tune into any of the many TV-preacher and you'll soon be swamped in metaphors and anecdotes. My view is anyone who "falls" for these syrupy messages, deserves the fate that awaits them when they "fall' back into line.
I am getting sick of these emails

I heard that the fiery ember fell on the carpet, burned up the house, the elder and the guy.
Thats why I'm a deist and no longer a Jehovahs Witness. Entertaining little stories that can be interpreted a million ways.

just hit "reply all" and say... Well pretty much ANY of the reponses that you've gotten!
Won't be long and you won't get them anymore!

SOME Christians DO send junk like this drivel... sappy, soap opera stuff.
I am a Christian and I HATE it.
I had one friend who wouldn't quit filling my in-box with krap and I finally
changed my email and wouldn't give her the new one.

Well I replied back to her saying that this isn't a true story and sent her a few links with the same story from different religions. She said well it's still a good analogy. I said well no the analogy could go both ways. once the energy that the embers is used up they burn out and then their ashes are swept up and thrown in the trash.
Yeah she'll think twice before forwarding me an email again.
