OT - guns at church - "open-carry service"

So am I, we believe in what is right! After my ordination by Kirby Hensley in 1969, I started the First Aquafraternal Church of Universal Life.

Share water! May you never thirst!

Amen, brother. I was ordained the same year, by a guy who eventually became an AP reporter.

I performed one wedding ceremony. How about you?

I don't recall what year my sister was ordained in the ULC, but she continues to do weddings. She went on to become a doctor of Naturopathy.

The year I was a minister in the Church of Divine Man, I had some cards made up which stated that I did marrials and burials. Ain't life fun? (I did neither that year.)

-- Sex is Evil, Evil is Sin, Sin is Forgiven. Gee, ain't religion GREAT?

Yeah, that was particularly fun. My vestment for the wedding was a sports jacket my roommate had bought at a second-hand store in the East Village. Looking at it from the front, the left side was a blown-up page from the New York Times, and the right side was just solid yellow.

It looked good after a few hits of the herbal sacrament.

I'm an ordained reverend in the Church of John Moses Browning, we also are pacifists, but we haven't mastered turning the other cheek yet. ;)

Wes

pacifists, but

Even so, you only have four...

What would Jesus say?

-- Ed Huntress

Why don't you ask Jesus that, instead of Wes?

Alas, I have yet to officiate at any ceremonies, I suspect it may have something to do with my belonging to the Potato Totem.

Although I'm not supposed to eat them, I'm not required to defend them against those who do.

More to the point, what would Jesus carry? A gladius? Something more current, like a Glock 26?

"Then Jesus asked [his disciples], ?When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?? ?Nothing,? they answered. He said to them, ?But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don?t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ?And he was numbered with the transgressors?; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.? The disciples said, ?See, Lord, here are two swords.? ?That is enough,? he replied." (Luke 22:35-38)

DINGDINGDING!!!

Amazing! I didn't think the Skywalker line went back that far.

I thought Wes would probably know. Roger would know, but it would be lengthy, and full of contradictions. d8-)

That's a heavy moral burden to bear. 'Hope you're not Irish.

I'm thinking a Buntline Special in a shoulder holster. It has a real air of seriousness about it.

Maybe two Buntlines, then, with cross-draw holsters.
