MT. VERNON, TEXAS WHOREHOUSE SUES LOCAL CHURCH OVER LIGHTNING STRIKE
Diamond D's brothel began construction on an expansion of their building to
increase their ever-growing business. In response, the
local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the business from
expanding with morning, afternoon and evening prayer sessions at their
church. Work on Diamond D's progressed right up until the week before the
grand reopening when lightning struck the whorehouse and burned it to the
ground!
After the cathouse was burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the
church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about
"the power of prayer."
But late last week 'Big Jugs' Jill Diamond, the owner/madame, sued the
church, the preacher and the entire congregation on the grounds that
the church ... "was ultimately responsible for the demise of her building
and her business either through direct or indirect divine
actions or means."
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied any and all
responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.
The crusty old judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the
defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't
know how the hell I'm going to decide this damn case, but it appears from
the paperwork that we now have a whorehouse owner who staunchly believes in
the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that thinks it's all
bullshit!"
