Sometime in 2011, Steven Chilton and Richard Burnish made an astonishing discovery-that they could, in fact, form a satirical (not to mention fictional) branch of Christianity, one which would go by a flowery name and host plenty of webcasts and streamed shows. It was out of these moments of epiphany that the name Church of the Neon Bible’ was born. And no, it had nothing to do with noble gases. In fact, the only thing noble about it all was the not-so noble way in which trolls inundated the show with all manner of calls, mostly from 4chan’s /b/ random forum board. Said shows ran under the equally creative name. Jesus Chatline.

Beginnings

Deeply inspired by the Neon’ idea and full of ‘win’ (much like Charley Sheen in his interviews from back in the day), the two ‘televangelists’ started off the first wave of internet broadcasts in May of the year 2011. At the end of June, 2011, Burnish suddenly decided that Chilton was dead and hosted a mock funeral for his beloved brother in the ministry. Members got the opportunity to take a look at the ‘corpse’ of Chilton, who was really, really dead and lay on a sofa. Over time, the news of these shows Spread across the internet and got picked up by forums, which then passed the word around on YouTube, where the trolls were waiting for epic showdowns and hilarious comebacks.

The ‘Holy’ Bible

Richard had actually written a bible, one that carried hilarious messages and promised buyers that they would go to heaven if only they bought themselves a copy. From time to time, he updated this book, often with hilarious little additions like why God chooses Firefox’. In some episode, news filtered in to the effect that, sadly, Steven had been blown to smithereens by lightning. The good news was that the televangelist was painstakingly put to back together by a bunch of scientists who, quite understandably, could not stand aside and let the pioneers of this new wave of thought fade away. What would happen is that those who called into the show always thought that they was pranking the hosts, only to find that they were actually the ones on the other end of the joke-literally.

2012

This year brought more hilarity into this chat line, in which they now started mimicking cable news programs and discussing hugely important issues such as the freedom of speech and a bunch of others like the state of race relations in the US. Richard seemed to be the funnier one, in one instance even being shown in bed with Angelina Jolie but looking really calm and not at all interested in making sexual moves-pretty much what we expect from the honorable leader of the Church of the Neon Bible.

At some point in July 2012, the two discontinued the chat line (maybe to mull over the future of the church and update the bible?) and faded off the spotlight. Their Facebook and Twitter handles however remained active sometime after that. The duo were highly popular due to their trademark broadcasts, some coming with full testimonials filmed in churches and open lines from where calls could be made.

Trolls Pranking Trolls

In 2011, when the first wave of prank calls made their way into YouTube as video excerpts, they were soon picked up by varied forums and distributed to places such as Reddit, where the trolls now came down in full force. However, one Redditor eventually pointed out to those in the thread that they were actually poking fun at a show that was poking fun at them and pretty much everyone else. This was a turning point in the history of trolling (if I do say so myself), where a whole bunch of trolls found themselves slugging away at two actors who were just basically pranking regular televangelists.

Over the next four years, the legend of Burnish and Chilton only grew, spearheaded by mystery and the fact that these two were no longer around to answer some serious questions like ‘are you being serious?’ or ?’where is the mic?’

Rumbled Feathers

Following the demise of the Jesus Chatline, Chilton decided to go solo and started a show of his own known as Rumbled Feathers. It was hosted on Justin.tv (now twitch.tv ) and was also frequently pranked by trolls from 4chan.

As far as we know, Burnish and Shilton were the only hosts of the show. They however did have an imaginary producer, someone they shouted at all the time when technical issues arose in the middle of broadcasts.

Jesus Chatline was short-lived, but it sure did serve up plenty of epic moments that live up till today.

Relationship advice, psychic readings, song lyrics, video game hints; you could get it all if you dialed the number on your screen. In the 80’s and 90’s 900 phone numbers were a big hit, mostly because the channels for getting information then were limited to television, radio and telephones.

Premium-rate telephone phone numbers are telephone contacts that you call to receive a service. The calls are billed at higher prices than normal calls. The typical way of doing it is by charging a certain fee for the first few minutes then a lower fee per minute afterwards. The customer service lines were provided by phone companies such as AT&T and Verizon. In 1971, the area code 900 was introduced but it was not until 1977 that it was used for the “Ask President Carter” program. After their introduction to the masses, all sorts of companies and individuals jumped on the band wagon offering one service or the other. Celebrities and psychics had such lines as did companies offering tech support.

In the 80’s and 90’s premium-rate phone numbers were a big hit

The lucrative market however lost its popularity among the masses for various reasons.

1. The Rise Of The Internet

Before the internet came in and spoiled the party, companies could make billions from calls. Whether through fraudulent or legitimate ways, such calls could rake in large amounts of money every end of the month. Callers received outrageously high telephone bills, the proceeds of which would be shared by the telephone company and the service provider. When the internet became the new way to do things, the funds generated from the calls took a nose dive. All the info that people depended on the calls to get was spread out in the internet and Google was there to find it for you. Today weather forecasts, competition betting, tech support, erotic stimulation, contact between fans and their celebrities, and most everything else that kept the numbers in business can be more easily found online.

2. A Growing Number of Scams and Chargebacks

As the industry grew, unscrupulous business people and fraudsters saw an opening to make money illegally. Many unsuspecting people were promised a ‘prize’ and a 900 number would be provided that they could call. The prize didn’t really turn out to be real- but the phone charges were.

Subscription fraud also dented the industry. Being the most common form of telephone fraud, it was given a place to flourish in the form of premium-rate phone service. In some instances, a scammer opens up a premium-rate phone line after which they then subscribe to one or multiple phone lines from a carrier that they use to make hundreds of phone calls a day. The phone line used is usually registered under a stolen identity. The victim is then left to pay the bills for the calls made. The scammer wraps up the operation faster than the phone company or the victim can catch wind of what’s going on, taking the revenues generated from the calls.

3. The Companies Got Greedy

A seemingly harmless way of getting the phones to ring involved advertising to children. Kids would shoot up the phone bill calling the number since the implications were unknown to them. Kiddy shows on the television were constantly encouraging children to call and talk to their favorite characters. The trend was brought to a screeching halt when in 1987, a child racked up a bill of $17,000. Such advertisements were banned from airing by the FTC. The carrier companies also charged exorbitant fees right from the beginning, a factor that proved costly even for them. The high calling rates caused the previously self-regulated industry to catch the attention of regulating bodies and the maximum charge was reduced.

Major Players Pulled Out

Telecom companies AT&T, MCI and Verizon, which provided the base for the industry to stay afloat pulled out due to low profits. The fraud that marred the industry took its economic viability from the scheme of things. Phone companies could no longer continue collecting revenues for the service providers. MCI went bankrupt after failing to pay their customers. AT&T was followed by Verizon and Swift who also phased out 900 billing. The banks have cashed in on this as chat lines of such sort are now billed to credit cards rather than the phone.

Despite the many pitfalls that the premium-rate phone numbers faced, they sure did play their role in disseminating information in their early years of operation. However, set up in a market that seemed to conspire against their success, the end was always inevitable.

So you are planning to meet your chatline friend for the first time and you don’t know where you should go. You should think of places where you can see them without it being too awkward or uncomfortable for both of you. Also at the same time you would want to look for somewhere that is safe. The safest place to meet someone is in a public place where there are many people around and just in case there is a problem you can cause a scene and someone will come to your rescue.

Here are some suggestions on where to meet your phone friend for the first time:

1. The Mall

This is one of the best places you can meet someone for the first time. This is because: it is public, there are many exit points and you can have one of your friends to discretely tag along. The mall provides a number of activities of which you can be involved with. You can either choose to share a meal depending on the time of day you have agreed to meet, you can do something fun like bowling, skating, watch a movie and people watch while you get to know each other. It is a place where people of all ages can meet whether both of you are teens, young adults, millennials or older adults. It is perfect for everyone.

2. A Busy Restaurant

This is another great place to have your first date. This will give you all the information you will need to know about the person that you have been talking to for all this time. You will get to see how s/he treats waiters and busboys; how generous s/he is with their tips and how they carry themselves in public. In a restaurant, you will not be allowed to stay for too long hence it will give you a brief opportunity to see who are dealing with and you can decide whether you will see them again or not.

Here are places that you should never agree to meet the person

1. His/Her home

When the person suggests that you meet at their place of residence this should be a red flag and you should refuse. When you are at the person’s home, you will be at their mercy as they can decide to do anything they want to you without you being able to defend yourself. In the home, the person can drug you or forceful take advantage of you. All the while you will not be able to get help to you. If you do it will be too late.

2. A place at night

The person might lure you into meeting in a public place at night. He or she might want you to meet at the beach, park or anywhere at night trying to fool you that the place would be romantic. These places are safe to go to during the day, but they can become dangerous at night. This is because the places are secluded and the guy or girl you are meeting can choose to take advantage of you and you will not be able to protect yourself.

3. Hotel room

This is also one of the last places you would want to meet your online friend. The reason for this is because meeting in a hotel room means the person just wants to have sexual relations with you and doesn’t want to waste his time or money. By meeting here, you will be devaluing yourself and ensuring that the relationship has no future.

4. A Parking Lot

This also goes without saying is a bad place to meet because you are not sure where the person will take you. Your date could have an idea of where he or she wants to take you but you should refuse as you are not sure if it is a place you would want to go. Also meeting in a parking lot means you cannot tell your family members where you will be going for the date.

5. Your House

Your home could be a very safe place for you to have a meeting. The problem is that the person you are inviting over might not be someone you would want in your home. This is because the person could be a thief and he or she could steal your belongings. Secondly if the meeting goes south and you don’t want to see him or her they will always be able to come to your house to see you. This will make it harder for you to avoid the person.

As you will both be excited to see each other you should both set some ground rules and some expectations of the first date. You should both agree which is the best place for you to meet and talk and that both of you will be comfortable. You will not want to suggest a place where one of you had had a negative experience or s/he doesn’t like it. Also, you should talk about what you both want out of the first meeting. There are people who would like just to see each other and there are other people who would prefer to have sexual intercourse after the initial meeting. Keeping this conversation honest will help determine what you will both expect and in the end no one will be disappointed.

Thanks to phone dating chatlines like AffairHub and LiveLinks, online dating websites like Adult Friend Finder and Ashley Madison, and social apps like like Tinder and Grindr, it is now easier than ever to meet people without actually getting to see them physically.

As a result, more and more people are meeting online to start friendships, have a casual relationship and in some cases they have fallen in love and it led to marriage.

With the new technologies that are out there, they have the same problem with the old ones. The problem that they have is arranging the first date. When you talk to someone online they might seem like an angel and s/he makes you want to spend so much time with them. The problem comes in as many people don’t portray their actual personality when they are online. The person could pretend to be a good person but in actual sense they are not. With this, many men and women are actually afraid to meet the people they are talking to as they fear that it could turn out to be a nightmare.

Where do you usually go on a first date? What places do you avoid? Share your wisdom in the comments below.

Dating is exciting at every age and pretty much all the young or old folks out there want to find that special someone to connect with. The anonymity and the infinite possibility of meeting “the one” makes phone chat lines and internet chat rooms one of the best mediums to connect with several people at once. But there are few DOs and DON’Ts that you need to keep in mind before you take a dip in this big bad world of online dating.
