dear friends ......heres the first prototype for the APOSTOLIC Barbie
Lets make her a pastor also......and if shes stays holy enough..i.e.
never wears pants or earings....we will promote her to bishop.>>
Me:
Sounds like a great idea. I haven't heard Ken say that he was interested in
the position. I'm not even sure if he's Apostolic Ken. I know that someone
said that Barbie had been baptized in Jesus' name in the bathtub, but I
haven't heard the same about Ken.
You:
<<In fact make
the robe she wears unremovable.>>

Me:
Better make her robe removeable. I understand Ken intends to show up quoting
1Tim 2:12, etc., as soon as there is a permanent church building and there
are enough tithe-paying members to support the ministry comfortably. Of
course, as a man, he will never be seen wearing a robe.
You:
<<Oh and make sure she handles ALL the
problems in the church too.>>
Me:
And, of course, Ken will expect her to be available to attend any and all
counseling sessions (after he has re-claimed the position of pastor for the
men), in order to "protect his reputation". Naturally, she will take care of
all problems that involve women only. This in addition to teaching Sunday
School, working in the nursery, singing in the choir, playing piano when
needed, cleaning the church, scrubbing the toilets, etc. (Sorry if I missed
anything. When we wrote the Constitution and By-laws for our church, we
forgot to include the duties for the pastor's wife).
All here is said in fun....(but is there an element of truth in here,
somewhere?) :-) ;-)
