So my dad still gets newsletters from the Southwestern Baptist Theological
Association, so I picked up the latest one in the den and read through it. There
was some crap about "text-driven preaching," which appeared to
me to be a plagiarism of "purpose-driven".

The next thing I noticed was that the newsletter only had pictures
of men, except for women with their preacher husbands. And of eight
pictures of preachers, seven were fat baby-faced white men. The eight was
an older white man.

Finally, there was a quote from one of them calling himself a thrillseeker. He liked
to skydive, eetc, but he claimed the biggest thrill was leading men to
Christ Jesus. I guess he doesn't like witnessing to women. I suppose aren't
worth it since we can't be preachers.

I really, really don't like Baptist world.

1. But how does your husband feel about this?
Remember you must submit to the wishes of your husband. /sarcasm

:)...Edit: Is it the Baptists who refuse to have sex standing up because they're afraid it might lead to dancing? Or is that some other denomination?

7. Always take two Baptists fishing with you.
If you only take one, he'll drink all your beer.

If there's two, they keep an eye on each other, and you get to drink all the beer.

I am not fond of Baptist world myself.
