#17-Bowties


Have you ever woke up and thought “How can I look pompous AND ridiculous at the same time?” Pentecostal guys have. And then they put on a bow tie.

The allure of the bow tie transcends most of our understanding. From what I can tell, here is how it started: Creepy Circus Clowns– Pee Wee Herman - Tucker Carlson - Andre 3000 – Kanye West – Every ‘fashionable’ Pentecostal guy.

The bow ties were out in full force at this year’s Youth Congress, including one Colonel Sanders shoe lace tie that may just be the next big thing.

I’m a little aloof as to the appeal of these things but one can’t deny that if you’re a Pentecostal guy and you’re not wearing a bow tie, you don’t know avant garde fashion.

Interesting coincidence – since the explosion of the bow tie trend in the UPC the “how to tie a bow tie” videos on youtube have quadrupled in views, because let’s face it: no one knows how to tie those stupid things.
Even stranger is that every Pentecostal guy purposefully ties their bowtie awkwardly because they watched the GQ “How to tie a bowtie” on youtube which claimed messy bowties were stylish.

  1. Let it be known that the views expressed in this blog do not reflect those of the co-author of this website (myself), as I myself tend to dress "silly" on occasion complete with bowtie around collar.

#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 ...
