#35-Convincing yourself and people around you that the stuff on your face is not really make up

Image
By

The irony about the term "cover-up" is that it not only covers up facial blemishes but that in many respects "cover-up" has become part of a massive "cover up" to actually convince ourselves cover-up is not make up....

It starts off covering up zits, and then sooner than you realize it is literally all over your face...but it's not make-up since of course it's the same color of your skin....

Some girls wear so much cover-up they could frost a cake with it!

And if that's the case, then why did you need to put it on all over your face?

I am not hear to throw stones at all... I am completely cool and okay with the use of cover-up and similar objects (clear mascara, bronzer, foundation, blush, clear lip gloss, clear nail polish)...If I was a female, I would be using the same stuff.....

But let's just stop pretending that we found those products that are in our purses next to the bibles in the God section of wal-mart....When in actuality we found those products in the cosmetics section amongst all stuff we call devil's paint (make-up)...and that if I were to go to someone not Apostolic, they would probably deem the stuff we use as....make-up (at best, "fake-up")...

Most credit for this post goes to my lovely sister, Rachel Riley who volunteers herself as an active participant in the massive Apostolic cover up of "cover-up."

    o wow the first of your blogs that I have to disagree with ... not that anyone should care but make up, is make up... whether its called cover up or concealer, I'd rather just appear plain ugly pimple faced and all than to pretend to be something i'm not.

    Well,
    Not to poke fun at JaNise, but if you feel that way about make-up, I'm sure you don't wear a padded bra, control top pantyhose, high heels, and whatever other clothing item may "enhance" your figure.

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

By
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

By Anonymous
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...

#280-Jeff Arnold and His "Idiot" Friends.

By
So basically this happened last week at Because of the Times (no, not the Kings of Leon album, but the preacher's conference that was named after the album): And by "this happened" I really mean a Jeff Arnold sermon-rant to formally announce his senility. Literally, the dude was Khrushchev slamming his shoe on a podium, a rambling Richard Sherman in a postgame interview, a conservative Michael "Shame on you Mr. Bush" Moore at the Oscars. In short, Jeff Arnold pulled a Kanye in front of anyone who matters in the UPC. And it's not like we didn't see it coming . For those who haven't been paying attention to Twitter or simply got wise enough to not really care one iota about the ongoing Reality TV tragicomedy that is the UPC, let me tell ya, you're missing a whole lot of chuckle moments. But to catch you up to speed.. here's the run-down of Mr. Arnold's sermon: -Confesses aspirations to be lauded by God as one of the greatest ...
