I can't imagine how this could be misinterpreted.
https://www.local10.com/news/f...nterpreted-as-sexualThe sign outside the Bella Villa Baptist Church read: "Forgiveness is swallowing when you want to spit."
Representatives from the church say the sign was "completely innocent" and was "intended as encouragement to forgive." However, many interpreted the sign in a salacious manner.
A woman in the community posted the sign on Facebook, saying she did a U-turn to come back and take a photo. Many people commented with laughter, with another writing, "Don't think they thought this through."
The church said it intends to remove the forgiveness message after the controversy.
"We apologize if anyone was offended," officials from the church wrote.

bigwagonIf (big if) this is legit, there's no way they could possibly think it would be interpreted any other way.

newtoSig765I thought that was the difference between "Love" and "Like".

mark123I went to a church where the pastor grew up in the church, went to college for ministry and went straight to preaching. In other words, he never experienced the sinful world. He would innocently say naive things like this that would get a chuckle but he never knew why. Could just be naiveté.

architectSo nobody would be surprised if it were a Catholic church?

vthokyThere's a web site out there somewhere that lets you "customize" church signs.
Seems like a recipe for all sorts of inappropriate fun!
Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.
