#61-Having babies to hang out in the nursey during service

Image
By
You know those families at your church that keep manufacturing babies almost every year, and if not every year, it's every other year?

It's like they produce so many babies that by the time the third baby debuts in church just in time for the fall-line of clothing at the baby gap, you make a conscious decision to stop attempting to remember all their names....Basically you just start categorizing the mass of brothers and sister's in that family by their last name alone: "Hey Smith kid."

And you wonder, why don't they use birth control? The most common response would admirably be that they don't believe in birth control, which is an entirely acceptable belief if you ask me (really I sincerely mean that)...

but I also propose to you today an alternative explanation of why some families are determined to birth as many babies as every family that has a show on TLC...

The theory: The moms like having an excuse to chill in the nursery during church...
It's like they have a club or something back there and the only requirement is to be part of the nursery club is to have a baby under the age of 2, and the moment the first birthday rolls around, you know the mother is growing in anxiety and hunger to have a new baby to be able to keep her membership card...

Want an excuse to not have to be so restricted of movement and verbal communication during church?

Have a baby.If you aren't married or don't have babies for whatever reason, but want to go into the secret Nursery club during church, make sure you are friends with someone who does have a newborn, then ask to hold it during service, and then after 10 minutes carry the baby out the back of the sanctuary to the nursery in a kind of hurried pace...even though you are not the mom, people just assume that the baby is sick or crying or something....but we know the real reason lady, and it kind of makes me jealous.

#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 ...
