Now, you guys may think that I’m nuts but I think this<\/a> is a good idea. And those of you who are tempted to remind me about Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple can refrain from doing so since I’ve already thought about it. Something like this was actually proposed to my pastor but I don’t think he’s going to do it. But it’s a great source of income that could be used by the church to spread God’s word and it’s a great way for the cell phone company to erect more cell towers given the amount of restrictions they face.<\/p>\n

A local church along with the help of Verizon Wireless may take cell phone tower development to a new and technologically divine level.
\nYou’ve likely seen them erected somewhere along the side of the road or hidden with a grouping of trees, but it’s hard to miss those tall cell phone towers, usually identifiable by their triangle-shaped platforms, planted among our communities. And it’s definitely not often that a town is forced to balance its respect for a religious symbol against a cell phone company’s reliability, but that’s exactly what’s happening in Pequannock Township.
\nAt Bible Christian Fellowship Church, there is a proposal to develop a 100-foot cell phone tower that would be disguised as a cross and provided by Verizon. Not everyone in the town has dialed into the idea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
