Sorry if this story is a little fragmented, etc. but I'm still laughing too hard!
Three friends and I decided to go out at an IHOP to eat (it was pretty late). While we were eating, apparently a cult was leaving and stopped by our table. We're all "brown" (Indians and Pakistani descent). Apparently the cult's pastor was directed by God to talk to us and nobody else in the entire IHOP. We asked him why he thought we weren't already Christians, why he came only to us, etc. and his reply was "God led me to you." Then his Phillipino buddy came and thought that we would be impressed with their inclusion of a minority. Then one of their girls came and started spouting off how "handsome we are, how we have beautiful faces, etc." They tried to pry out what our ethnicities were, but we would give vague replies like "Huntsville, Alabama" and then they would ask no, before that, so we would say "Houston, TX", then they would ask no, where were you born, so we would reply "California." Then they started asking us what we do, and we replied that we're all Vanderbilt University students. They had some sort of script
They started asking us what our majors were, and one of us said Electrical Engineering, and the cult pastor was like "Medical?" and he was like "No, engineering." He was trying to get a good segueway into his next story which was about a Muslim Uruguay minister who owned a church land who couldn't pay their own rent. Apparently he had a back problem and so he went to the church and was magically cured and so he changed his life and prayed to Jesus and stuff. They also claim to have cured AIDS cases in Uruguay. They started talking about how we should go with them with their partners at Vanderbilt Medical Center or something to Uruguay
After about 30 minutes of his sermon, he asked us to allow him to pray for us. We let him, it was quite amusing watching him pray for us and pray that the devils within our souls would be exorcised or whatever.
Then like 30 minutes later, they freakin RETURN! He claims to have left his Bible at the IHOP even though he was carrying it the entire time. He asks us to attend his church for the 30th time, etc. etc. etc. They finally leave.
Anything like this ever happen to anyone?
It was extremely funny.. we were asking them a lot of bogus questions. Quite entertaining!
"Things are changing here in Nashville.. I can feel it in the air. It's not entertainment, It's not money. It's Jesus!"
Oh, they gave us their business card, too! I like the quote on it.. "This is that."
They also said that we have to give our life to Jesus. So, my friend asks "So, does that like mean, that I have to shoot myself in the head with like a gun?"
My other friend asks what time it's at, and finds out that it's at 2 pm. We reply, "Oh, we won't be up at that time. Sorry!"
The funny thing is that they had a -10% chance of recruiting us.. especially at an IHOP!
