  Deacons … always up in the air about something!

  What a rapturous experience for some who may left behind.

  It’s a team sport. Points are awarded to churches for maneuvers performed mid air by their deacons before being caught by their mega pastor’s jet plane. If a deacon is dropped no points are awarded. No bibles are used in this event as they are said to weigh down the contestants, making the event lower flying and much less entertaining for the “unchurched” crowd.

  Hey kids, today we shoot Rob the deacon out of the cannon! Leave truth at home because today we are going to have fun!

  I can just see the sign now: No Bibles, No Preaching, All fun!

  Oh, and isn’t supposed to be Deacon Chukin’? It was spelled Chunkin’.

  It’s a good thing the Presbyterian aren’t doing it. They do everything by committee!

  In order to be relevant, it was necessary to go to x treme sports as the regular events that used to be popular at Church picnics as three legged race, and sack race are old fashioned and out dated.

  The Winter X Games were first pitched by Nodaway County Youth Pastors who asked for a fling to catapult their ministries. They first bombarded SBC headquarters with a barrage of dispatches to set it in motion the event after the recent success of “Bishop Bungee” in nearby upstate Minnesota. The projected date for the “Deacon Chucking” was cast into doubt and thrown into confusion when it was discovered that local PCUSA had already set up their own “Elder Ejections” at the county fairgrounds during the same weekend. The independent Baptists also became fired up that their “Heathen Heave” later in the week might be upstaged. Finally, the whole event was almost tossed out when Director Lance Slinger was discharged from the drive propelled by an uprising amongst the Youth Ministers who wanted Lance to be hurled.

  We now have a “hillsong” church in our neighbourhood – I must suggest this to them as a way to get people in to them…

  The “Chunkin’” wasn’t the challenge,it was the landing. The Deacons relied on members of the “Sola Scriptura” men’s group to snatch them from their perilous fall. Sometimes the “catchers” just weren’t there…

  During the “rapture” the Deacon Chunker can be used to shoot people up who have been left behind. Maybe they can blend in inconspicuously with those who have been caught up in the air.

  Is that thing the canon of Scripture?

  Comment by Les — March 4, 2010 @ 10:51 am

  Dwight, I think it’s apocryphal.

  This is what happens when you ask an arms dealer about the New Testament canon.

  This is obviously a mock-up. Southern Baptist deacons wouldn’t fit in that canon…especially after hitting the all-you-can-eat buffets at the convention.
