I would respond more to the third one, "In despair? Jesus is your hope." The others would be a total turn off for someone even thinking of checking out the church.

Here's a sign (not in our area) that got pulled because of the following action:
February 6, 2007
CBS PULLS ANTI-CATHOLIC BILLBOARDS
Earlier today we issued a news release regarding two anti-Catholic billboards, sponsored by the Eternal Gospel Church, and displayed by CBS Outdoor, that appear along I-65 in Jeffersonville, Indiana. We asked CBS Outdoor if we could pay for a billboard that read, “CBS Sponsors Anti-Catholicism,” but were denied.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains what has happened since:
“Kevin Carnes, general manager of CBS Outdoor, Louisville, called to apologize for what happened and pledged that the billboards will be removed tomorrow. He also said that CBS Outdoor will not post such offensive signs again.
“CBS Outdoor made the right decision today to remove the bigoted statements attacking the pope and the Catholic Church as the Antichrist.”
The Catholic League is the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization. It defends individual Catholics and the institutional Church from defamation and discrimination.

Very interesting Woody, I wonder if there were any anti-SDA signs out there, would CBS pull those billboards? That should tell us something!

Just tagging on.
Why should the choice be limited to one? Why can't we choose them all? The message of the different signs all need to be heard. Back in the 50's, there used to be a series of signs along the road, and then at the very end, it says, "Burma Shave." Why can't a well organized series of messages be done the same way?

If Jesus did not want a certain message to be preached, He would not have revealed them. Having said that,
it doesn't mean we shouldn't use tact in presenting unpalatable truths. Using truth as a club has been
proven ineffective over and over again.
