This pastor had enough of cell phones in church.

Whenever I call Heavens Above, I never seem to get a reply.
Perhaps that is, in itself, a reply.
There are those, however, who must be trying harder — or even getting some results.
I make this generous assumption on the basis of research that has just descended upon me. It seems that fully 19 percent of Americans admit to using their phones in church — or their other places of worship.
Yes, of course they could be shopping for a new outfit or calling their new illicit friend. I prefer to think, though, that some have a hotline to Upstairs.
I am not sure that the sponsor of this research — mobile verification and payments company Jumio — would reach the same conclusion.
Indeed, its representatives theorize that, quite simply, Americans and their phones are seldom parted. Some proof of this is evident in the video I have embedded, in which a pastor smashes the phone of a woman who is talking during a service.
