My Saturday night was otherwise uneventful until I received an email from Twitter that had me tripping hard. "Hi, (iPhoneSavior). Jesus (iphoneJesus) is now following your updates on Twitter." the email said.
That's quite a shocker having been the iPhone Savior myself for just short of two years. Now this guy shows up! Once Oprah elbowed her way in, I guess seeing Jesus on Twitter was inevitable.
It turns out that my own personal iPhone Jesus, now a devout follower of mine, joined Twitter just a day earlier on April 24. His Bio is simple, it reads; "I'm Jesus. I use an iPhone. It's pretty cool." He must have enjoyed the whole "Jesus Phone" thing.
iPhone Jesus is already following over 1,400 people including the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Alyssa Milano, Lily Allen and The Office on NBC. The wild thing is that Jesus has some 850 Twitter faithful following him in less than a day. I've been on Twitter a month and I have only 115 followers.
One of my favorite tweets from Jesus is this one; "Today, I was sitting in heaven, really craving a smoothie. So... if anyone says they saw Jesus at the Smoothie Factory...they were right."
And his most recent tweet, a response to one user creeped out by Jesus following him, "I'm kind of scared that he's following me..." Theang said, to which iPhone Jesus responded;
"Don't be scared, my child, I will only bless you and keep you safe. And retweet your interesting links."
This proves it... you never know when or where Jesus will show up. How will you respond when iPhone Jesus starts following you? "Block" is always an option. This would be a perfect place to say; "follow me", but I won't!
