#30-Watching TV shows online

We don't have much respect for television these days. Nor have we really ever. Simply put, television is the devil's box. We wont allow our ministers to have televisions in their house.

But lo and behold, the God of heaven is merciful, and He has provided a method whereby we can watch television programs, without actually owning a television, and thus maintain our salvation....

The miracle is that tv shows are placed online. Hulu.com is almost as popular for Apostolics as revolving doors are for five year old kids.

Can't turn on the Office on Thursday nights on NBC this season? Just head onto the computer the day after a show has been aired, and you can view the show in all it's glory (with even shorter commercial breaks), and not have to repent at all!

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#115-Dressing Up For Church

Editor’s Note: At the Stuff Apostolics Like blogging institute that consists of a simple blanket fort made out of a giant blanket and two kitchen chairs facing back to back some 5 feet apart, we wrestle from time to time on our purpose….. Remembering to take a minute and laugh at ourselves is our number one goal. However, I readily admit that this goal can come across cynical and overly deconstructive in it’s ambitions. So today, in this blog I want to introduce to you a new wing of a blog topic that seeks to build on our understanding and not destroy… It’s the slightly informative/slightly humorous/slightly obnoxious blog entry…And with this blog entry a side purpose is to educate as well as laugh. Of course these blog types will be few and far between, but let this serve as a forewarning as to not confuse when they do arrive….. without further adieu, The age old custom of dressing up for church isn’t so aged and isn’t so old. First, there is no record of average congre...

#171-Home Schooling (and other ways I began to confuse redemption for an escape)

When I was growing up I was shoved into the local public school system without a second thought. I was left to the wolves as they would shove evolution down my throat before I could even see above the counter at McDonald's. The system would also tell me where babies came from and mention the fluids involved before I knew how to say "three" properly (I always said "free"). If I was caught mentioning Christ or praying over my food, I would be invited to attend after school detention wherein I had to write on a notebook piece of paper over and over again "I will not use the alleged names of deities in the sky in common discussion amongst my friends, nor in prayer to myself." Okay, so I kind of exaggerated the above. Actually I exaggerated all of it. Public School was nothing stressful. The closest my Christianity clashed with public education was when my Mom didn't want me to read Wrinkle in Time because it contained witches as characters and talked ...
