The purple velvet on the tithing collection plate . . .

[nikilds]

It's kind of bothering me.

Isnt that kind of, like, I dont know, a homer color for a Church to use on it's tithing plate?
What next? Rainbow colored velvet?

Actually purple historically has been the colour of royalty.

From wiki:

The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a mollusk that, because of its incredible expense (many times more expensive than gold), in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple is also called imperial purple.

John 19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

The word purple is used in 48 verses in the bible (kjv1611).

As it's not hard to come by these days, the purple used in the collection plates is a throwback to the times when it was a colour of royalty. The purple in them is made by the same process as before.

Hope this helps

Well, I hope thats the intension of the purple velvet on the tithing plate.

It's amazing how the gays have skewed even the blessed things in life. Things like ... the color purple.

I hear you sister. I detest the way these fruits and queers have completely twisted the American language around. How fondly I recall the days of yore when my uncle Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld would pile a bunch of us preteen boys into his limosine and shout "Let's all have a gay day at Disneyland!"

Nowadays of course he wouldn't be caught dead saying such things. Thank you Mr. Homer!

Fine, if you don't like purple, change it to pink. With some glitter, to make it.....more royal.

That's an excellent verse. Of course, every single verse in the Bible is utterly glorious, but especially that one. Pontius Pilate may have been a pretty shady character, but even he had to recognise who "da man!" is.

You are so right brother.

Pilate said "Ecce homo".

Were Jesus festooned in faggish purple instead of royal purple he might have said "icky homo".

In heaven the collection plates will be dyed red with the blood "donated" by you and your fellow witches, delivered daily from HELL.

Mocking the most sacred part of our Church service counts as blaspheming the holy ghost and Jesus will never forgive you. NEVER!

I don't see a problem here.

We're presently going through a Roll-out of the EZ-Slide® Collection plate which means that the traditional plate is being withdrawn anyway.

The beautiful gold offering plates are equipped with credit card slide and approval on demand slots. Church members who do not have cash on hand will now be offered the option of pulling out a credit card and simply sliding it through the plate.

Let's face it, anyone who loves Jesus as much as we do wouldn't carry the sort of cash around with them to make a decent donation anyway.

Shouldnt the church be charging at the entrance as well as having collection inside? Or would that be like having 2 separate admission fees? One for Church and 1 for heaven? I dont see a problem with that.

Indeed Sister Nikilds, the Church should not be dissuaded from using this color (which dates to ancient Biblical times) just because the homers have taken over the fashion industry.

Royal Purple (6,6'-dibromoindigo) was derived from several species of marine mollusks:
