I'm an ordained minister!

[sanantone]

I think every one and their brother has this credential. I filled out the applications eons when one of my godbrothers was on the kick (must have a printed certi around in a box in the basement?). Probably 1/3 of the pop has done the same if not only through a truth or dare game. Or to perform some sort of rite over their friend or relatives union. LOL I've even seen a group trying to use it for tax purposes (religious exemption), that didn't work out too well. LOL LOL LOL

People don't understand that they have to be regularly and primarily engaged in religious or charitable activities in order to be tax-exempt. The pastor's salary that comes from the church is tax-exempt, but not his or her other income. ULC's classification changes year to year. It does hold church services every Sunday, but it also makes a lot of money off of selling certificates and officiant packages.

So can we expect a new, pastoral sanantone, all sweetness and light as she shares the good news of Universal Life with all the nations?

Or, now that she's licensed to preach can we expect an even more prophetic sanantone, fire and brimstone and righteous indignation, taking names and letting God sort them out?

I think I know the answer…

I am already both. It all depends on the situation. There is the social work side of me; and, then, there is the law enforcement side. I'm open-minded, understanding of hardship, and believe in second chances, but I also have a very low tolerance for BS and stupidity. By the way, I read that Canada does not recognize ULC ministers in any province.
