Yes, You Too Can Become Ordained for the Low Price of $29.95!

Gag me. I received this in my inbox today. Here’s the site that sent me this spam. I hate spam. It’s not ethical. But that’s beside the point. What in the world is this ordination thing all about? In last week’s Alias, there were a couple of the characters wanted to get married on a whim, so on co-worker downloaded a certificate to receive the power to marry them. Seems to me there are a lot of bad consequences hidden under the surface waiting to jump out and strike with stuff like this. As it relates to marriage, what has happened to marriage as a covenant?

Minister Charles Simpson has the power to make you a LEGALLY ORDAINED MINISTER within 48 hours!

BE ORDAINED NOW!

As a minister, you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church!

WEDDINGS
MARRY your BROTHER, SISTER, or your BEST FRIEND!

FUNERALS
A very hard time for you and your family
Don’t settle for a minister you don’t know!

BAPTISMS
You can say “WELCOME TO THE WORLD! I AM YOUR MINISTER AND YOUR UNCLE!”

FORGIVENESS OF SINS
The Catholic Church has practiced the forgiveness of sins for centuries
**Forgiveness of Sins is granted to all who ask in sincerity and willingness to change for the better!

VISIT CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
Since you will be a Certified Minister, you can visit others in need!
Preach the Word of God to those who have strayed from the flock

WANT TO START YOUR OWN CHURCH??
After your LEGAL ORDINATION, you may start your own congregation!


At this point you must be wondering how much the Certificate costs. Right? Well, let’s talk about how much the program is worth. Considering the value of becoming a CERTIFIED MINISTER I’d say the program is easily worth $100. Wouldn’t you agree? However, it won’t cost that much. Not even close! My goal is to make this life changing program affordable so average folks can benefit from the power of it.

Since I know how much you want to help others, you’re going to receive your Minister Certification for under $100.00… Not even $50.00… You are going to receive the entire life-changing course for only $29.95.

For only $29.95 you will receivE:
1. 8-inch by 10-inch certificate in color, with gold seal
(Certificate professionally printed by an ink press)
2. Proof of Minister Certification in your name
3. Shipping is free

Why spend money on it. The First International Church of the Web will do it for free.
