Random Post: Non-Halloween Celebrations That Just So Happen To Fall on Halloween

1963

In the beginning was America and it was a righteous place full of great happiness. For the Founding Fathers had decreed that this was a Christian Nation where teachers should offer daily prayers at schools and the people did rejoice at that word. Verily in those days all the people of the country were Baptists [...]

Not Singing the Third Verse

There are two major schools of song-leading in fundy churches. The first  is prone to singing every…single…verse…with all of the unbridled energy of a man building his own gallows. When these folks sing “when we’ve been there 10,000 years” they’re not kidding. The other method of  singing hymns is to religiously omit the third verse [...]

fwotw: Soul Winning Marathon

This week’s choice comes from one of the fundamentalist motherships: FBC Hammond. Apparently they ran a soul winning marathon in hopes of snagging 1,000,000 souls in 24 hours on October 10th. There’s no word on the website exactly how this went. Don’t forget to get your Hourly Tally Sheet Res ipsa loquitur

Book Burnings?

The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina plans to celebrate Halloween by (what else?) burning copies of non-KJV Bible Versions. Hey, look! It’s the guy from our Fundamentalist Website of the Week on June 17th! Interesting to find out from the news report that the church has a total of 14 members. Thanks [...]

Non-Halloween Celebrations That Just So Happen To Fall on Halloween

Although there are exceptions, fundamentalists generally believe that celebrating Halloween is tantamount to worshiping the Devil himself. So to avoid celebrating this wicked holiday by dressing up in costumes and going door-to-door looking for candy, some of them instead dress up in costumes (no witches, ghouls, or Obama costumes, please) and go to the church [...]

Not Having Communion “Too Often”

In many Christian traditions, the Eucharist is celebrated at least weekly. Fundamentalists, on the other hand, celebrate the Lord’s table with about the same frequency that they change their oil. The basic idea behind these long spaces of time is the notion that having the Lord’s Supper too often will remove the specialness of it [...]

Misunderstanding Calvinism

More goodness from the same guy who believes The Wizard of Oz is the wickedest movie ever made.

FWOTW: bible1611.com

Once again, there’s simply too much on this month’s FWOTW to describe it all. Here are some highlights from bible1611.com. A Primer on Betrothing. If it was good enough for Esau it’s good enough for you. An End to Tongues when “That Which is Perfect” is come Of course we know that means the Authorized [...]

Standing For The Reading Of The Text

Nitpick warning: This post is going to be a nitpick about something that really doesn’t matter. It seriously doesn’t matter even a little bit. Probably even less than that. If you’re looking for a weighty discussion about deep things…what on earth are you doing here anyway?? Why do some fundy pastors have people stand for [...]
