#47-Bowling as a social function after Youth Service

Add Image

I hope you enjoyed the introductory video which was taken after a youth rally with the bowling alley as the selected post-service social function last week. Special thanks to aaron hall on that one...

But as for the bowling...seriously, isn't it sad that the place that makes you feel dirtier than after leaving a bar is the one place that it is socially acceptable to have a youth event at?

To me the dirtiness (i.e. body odor) and confusion of the initial stages of puberty is best summed up with bowling alleys and glow bowling in mind complete with terrible music and weird strangers amuck....

And yet, "for 10 bucks we can get all you can eat nasty pizza and bowling after tonight's service. Please see the resource center for directions on how to get to the bowling alley...now let's all dive into the Word..."

But I guess if the purpose of bowling alleys after youth service is to keep you at the alter as long as possible because you dread the mediocrity of the bowling after the service completion, then bowling as the after-event does it's job...

Alright, last question: With all the bowling we do, how do not have any Apostolics in the PBA (Professional Bowler's Association)?

  1. Okay...this is really funny the whole video clip thing at first!!! You should do more of these!!! But the bowling thing...OMW we aren't even allowed really to go to them...like the actual allys. I am not sure why exept that I think that back in the day they were know as wild and there was a lot of drinkin involved or whatever!!! But we are allowed now to go like to these pizza places that have like all kinds of stuff in them and if they have bowling we can do that an its REALLY fun!!!

#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...

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

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 ...
