Comments: After noting Ingrid’s habit of using his blog for research, Bob posts a hilarious parody from LarkNews, based on Ingrid’s hyperbole.

Memorable Quotes:

Ingrid shows her true spiritual gift by making a prophecy: “It’s only a matter of time before we see church naming rights being purchased by companies. How about Cool Ranch Doritos Baptist Church? Or Bud Light Assemblies of God. Don’t laugh. It’s coming.”

[comment by blind beggar] Some would say Slice of Laodicea is very much like the tabloids you mentioned (”The Sun” and “National Enquirer”). Certainly not me, but some would .

Comments: The ‘Reverend’ Ken Silva posted an open letter to his supporters, denigrating them for not giving enough and begging for money to allow him to attack legitimate Christian ministries full time. In response, Chris posted a parable comparing those who seek to serve others and those who seek to tear down the church, and how God honors them.

Memorable Quotes:

Ben said, ‘I have taken care of this small farm, just like you asked me to. I also went out across the countryside, decrying the farming techniques Bob was using. He was using machines to till the soil, and not his hands, and he was wasting his time giving food to the poor and water to the thirsty instead of farming the way that is right in my eyes. I would have done more, O King, but I did not have the funds to do so. Why did you not give me more?’

And the king answered, ‘Why would I give you more money to prevent food from being grown and harvested? Have you not already done enough damage?’

[brendt comments] You miss the point entirely. Decrying Bob is a ministry.

Comments: After Ingrid informed us all how we need to dress for church, Andrew, the Tall Skinny Kiwi, writes an excellent piece showing how ludicrous such legalistic clap-trap really is…
Memorable Quotes:

The question of what Jesus would wear has been chewed over in many emerging church circles, but no absolute certainty has been achieved. We do know he was given his one-piece garment and it was a QUALITY item, fought over at his death.

A good description of “pagan” in found in the Bible.
Jesus said “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:28-35

A site named Slice of Laodicea had a recent post on pagan dress and blue mohawks, like those found in those “emergent” churches. In case you were wondering, my son’s blue mohawk has been replaced with a basic hairstyle – yes, its red – but its very simple.

Nothing pagan about dying your hair – otherwise half the senior citizens in my old church need to repent!

Comments: Brendt’s alternate title – “Jesus was a Vulcan” – is rather funny, but since this post is about Ingrid’s seeming belief that Jesus didn’t laugh, and her writing confirming that humor has no place in the church, his alternate title is only funny to those who wouldn’t agree with Ingrid – self-selecting its audience.
Memorable Quotes:

Generally, if I’m trying to point out error on this blog, I do so with Scripture. However, a perusal of Scripture, along with previous knowledge, seems to indicate that such an idea is so incredibly ludicrous that God didn’t bother to waste any ink on it (compare that with the apparently less ludicrous sins decried in 1 Corinthians).

Comments: Following her usual modus operandi, Ingrid has a cow (breech, no less) over a Christian dance festival to be held in Michigan. She throws out one of her famous straw men – how can people go to a dance festivel when there are 42 million babies in America who have been aborted? Huh? (There are just some people who aren’t happy unless they’re not happy).

Chris took Ingrid’s article, changed the subjects around and the topic to blogging (instead of dancing) to demonstrate the absurdity of Ingrid’s premise (perhaps she was channeling the spirit of David’s wife, Michal?). Just to make the irony even greater, Ken demonstrates that he has no understanding whatsoever of the conept of irony by posting a comment to the article.

Priceless.

Memorable Quotes:

Yes, the world needs legalistic Christian Bloggers in a “most urgent way”. As we stand knee deep in the blood of 46 milion aborted American children, and as the foundations of our nation shudder and heave, Christians need a nit-pick, nit-pick, nit-picking revolution. Friends, the true church of Jesus Christ is not interested in blogging at this late hour. This is no time for podcasting. This is a time for repentance and contrition and prayer.

["Reverend" Ken Silva] “the true church of Jesus Christ is not interested in blogging at this late hour.” Pardon me Chris, but aren’t you blogging to tell us you’re not interested in blogging?

Comments: Steve recounts his adventures with Ingrid, where she posts on a church comedy night (a Friday family night), gets lots of nasty comments about the church, removes the post (but doesn’t delete it) at the request of the senior pastor from the church in question, and then denigrates Steve, who suggests she should post a retraction.  Comedy gold.
Memorable Quotes:

Ingrid Schlueter and the slicers and dicers at Laodicea , seem to have a twenty four hour watch on things apostate. I wonder how they have developed such a keen sniffer for such things. Well, it’s quite easy, first you need to believe you and you alone have a corner on the truth and anything that does not line up with your truth is of course false, and therefore apostate. Then you write a story about it and accentuate only what you want to about the story, leave out anything that would be redeeming about the church, person ect. your ripping apart. Next have your band of merry men and women all chime in on the comment section, validating your latest slice and dice, and lastly delete any comments from anyone that can poke the preverbal hole in the irrationality of your post.

Find a picture of a church sign that is advertising an upcoming event – Comedy Night – July 21 7PM –9PM and laugh all night. Post the picture of the church sign with the post title of“Lukewarm and Proud of it”. Soon the amen corner will show up and they are all amazed at how Ingrid has found yet another fantastic example of how pathetic the 21 century church is.

Forget to mention that this church in fact has a very sound doctrinal statement that is far from lukewarm. Forget to mention that the Comedy Night was not on a Sunday, but was in fact on a Friday and was scheduled to be a part of a “Date Night” or “Family Night Out” that the church was sponsoring to foster fellowship amongst its members. And lastly disparage the ministry of Christian Comedian Mike Williams, and mention nothing of his marvelous Christian ministry and his testimony where he talks about how God saved him from a horrific family life.

[Ingrid writes to Steve] I will not post any retraction because as I have said already, I stand by my belief that the church of Jesus Christ is no place for fun family outings featuring laugh all night comedians, period.

Comments: Iggy waxes poetical on the bitter Slice of Laodicea and its continued Schadenfreude in the matter of Kyle Lake.
Memorable Quotes:

You can read Ingrid and laugh,

You can read her and cry,

You can read her and even wonder why?

Yet, mostly I read her and think,

There, but by God’s grace…

go I.

Blessings,
