The Problem With Elephants in the Room (Satire)

Q: Why is it a bad idea to have a conference where you ‘agree to disagree’ with Seekers, Emergents, Prosperity guys, Word Faithers, & Pentacostals?
A: Because you are giving an implied endorsement to some guys with troublesome baggage in their trunks…

I wonder what the apostle Paul would have thought about an invitation to the “elephant room”? Perhaps echoes of Phillippians 3 would be in order,-”I count it all as loss”, “elephant dung”, “beware of the elephants”?Purely speculation on my part, of course.
“implied endorsement’ says it all. You hit the nail on the head my friend.
Great post Truthinator, thanks for the “elephant room ” satire.

These Emergents and those like them are giving Elephants a bad name. Sad truth is that that these folks are supposing to be leading the flock of God, but they are leading them to nowhere but perdition ( big word I dont use often)
Personally I dont ” agree to disagree” that is hypocritical. You either take your stand or you compromise. Pity that some feel they need to compromise in order to fellowship with people pleasers.

Hmmm. Truncation needs to happen sooner rather than later.

So calling one of these guys “Dumbo” would be fitting… in several ways.

Ha ha, no, I’m not on holiday but the idea is appealing! I have been studying plus I am in a bit of a dry patch with no solid ideas for satire bits. I’ll get something posted soon. Thanks for being a faithful friend. I’ll return to the funny pages soon. Peace.

Hello Mr Truthinator,,, since MacDonald and Loritts are pulling the race card now, can you think of a satire for the proverbial (white elephant) in the room at ER2?..

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll do some research and see what this is about. Please stop by again.

Linda,
i’m not sure what is going on. This is some strnage stuff we are seeing. A few years ago I would have sworn that McDonald would take up the reins when MacArthur is gone but now that is laughable… Warren is bringing nonChristians into the kingdom by changing the rules… What will we see next? I am dumbfounded…
