Goodbye Jesus

re-introduction of sorts


Rev R

Hello there.

Been a while since I rolled through here. Was thinking about it the other day. Glad to see it still around, albeit with a fresh (to me) coat of paint.

Hello Rev R. Welcome back!!

 

I'm guessing that Rev means you were a Reverend?

only by means of a paper I printed off the internet back in 01 (tongue was firmly in cheek that day). accumulated a few of those over the years, but the Church of the Latter Day Dude is my favorite.

religiously, I'm a legit "never was". dabbled in Neo-Paganism, Zen guy for a long time. Names for things aren't much of a big deal anymore. 

how are you?

I'm doing good. I actually became a dudeist priest too. I had lost my official credentials when I left the church. And I had a friend that was going to get married and wanted me to officiate. So I got the dudeist priest certificate and then he never got married 🤣

I officiated three weddings for close friends, but I don't remember which church org it was with.  The first couple signed me up and had the certificate sent to my apartment.

We didn't wear a robe. 

 

I was in a fundamental holiness church (The Church of God of the Gospel assembly) that used the biblical term Bishop for pastors over a church. You could also be ordained an Evangelist if you wanted to travel from church to church. 

 

It was just the way they interpreted that subject in the bible.

I only got to officiate one wedding so far. It was when I was still a Bishop. Thankfully they are still happily married. Most successful thing that came of my time as a minister.

How did you find the experience?

That's a new one for me. Did they have large doors since you could only move diagonally? (sorry. I just really like that joke.)

For two of the couples we were all close friends and none of them were really religious and I felt honored they wanted me to officiate.  Since I was neither a judge nor a minister the first couple took it upon themselves to have me "ordained" for a de minimus donation lol.

 

The third couple was a close friend from high school and I was honored.

 

All three are still happily married almost 10, 9, & 8 years later respectively.

 

I was a still a firm believer at the time, but knowing all the couples closely, I kept the religious aspect generic.

 

I'm a talker, so it was a lot of fun.

It is possible that it's an R original.
