As of April 13th, 2004........you may now call me Reverend Neil.

That's right......here's a snippet from my "Proclamation of Ordination".





Proclamation of Ordination

Thank you Reverend Neil J. Lyons

Please understand that if this is not your LEGAL name, this is not a valid ordination. We are referring to everything after the "Reverend" part above. Assumed names and "taken" names are NOT acceptable. ALL states require ministers to sign legal contracts with their legal name. This applies to your Ordination Certificate and any Marriage License you may sign. If this name is NOT your legal name, please let us know immediately and we will make the necessary changes. Also, if your name legally changes or other information needs to be updated, please let us know so that the registry has your current information at all times.

Effective April 13, 2004,

I, Douglas E. Hickman, Ordaining officer of the Universal Ministries, do Ordain, Anoint, Appoint, and Select you for placement into our Registry of Ministry. This means that from this day forward, unless you request to be removed, you are a minister with the Universal Ministries. This being said, we welcome you into our Ministries of Universal Acceptance.

You're officially kicked out of the ministry.

man. this thing is going around my school like mad cow disease.

seriously nobody knew about it yesterday, now everyone does.
it's crazy.


i give it about three days before it's making news headlines, and getting shut down.

wtf?

wouldn't you like to know.





let's just say a couple of my friend's are reverends now, about twelve more will be by tomorrow morning. it's legal too.

it's a grunge thing.

I did it after I watched the episode of "friends" where Joey offically gets ordained over the internet.

So....I thought I'd be curious, and here I am.


I wanna marry somebody........I think I'd make a kick ass Reverend for a wedding.

everybody's a reverend over here.


all you need is a Marriage Contract.. then you can have people sign it, bring it to city hall and it's official. w00t.

how do you become a reverend?

some protestant church allows you to fill out forms over the internet... then they give you some sort of document that makes it official.

do you know the site?

nope... sorry. i can ask around tomorrow,

i know its a three letter acronym for the name of the religion followed by .org
but it's not coming to me..

This isn't anything new.

Monkey did it back when he was in college... which was in 2000.

what fresh hell is this?

i'd feel bad marrying someone...just cause it seems so wrong

Even if they wanna get married?

I dunno why, but I found that oddly funny.

Probably because they have no ties to the religion at all...that may be why they'd feel bad.

if it makes you feel better, they'll be divorced in like 6 months.

True....but, there are people out there that get married that AREN'T as religious. I admit, I don't faithfully go to church on a weekly basis, but I know where my roots are.

Josh - I think it's universalministries.com that I went through.
