Sermons from the Trail

The Church of the Walker's God

In the Beginning

Typical, I've got so much I want to say I don't know where to start.

I guess the first thing is a disclaimer, just to get it out of the way.

This is not a real church. or any attempt to start one. Just a joke that developed a life of it's own. So don't take it seriously, I'm not.

Aside from that... who knows?

To (mis)quote Spike Milligan "If we don't have a plan, then nothing can go wrong."

Welcome Brothers and Sisters

Praise be :angel:

And there I was thinking I was joining an honest to god CULT, a new religion that would leave me brainwashed and pennyless on the side of a mountain. :jester:

Mickeyjoe_irl 16. July 2006, 13:47

Well, if you insist, I'm sure we can work something out. :wink:

ricewood 16. July 2006, 17:24

Maybe we can even walk something out?

Wakajawaka 17. July 2006, 22:20

Having spent my first 12 yrs attending Roman Catholic church every Sunday, I naturaly grew up to believe that organised religion has and will continue to be the root (read-excuse) of so much of the worlds evil in the name of the God of your choice.


CAN I STILL JOIN THE CLUB THOUGH ??? :smile:

sanshan 17. July 2006, 23:21

We're trying to make it more like a cult....:rolleyes:

volkuro 17. July 2006, 23:26

Hi Waka,

Until someone starts the Church of the sitting's God, there will be no war around here. :wink:

WELCOME!

Mickeyjoe_irl 17. July 2006, 23:37

Hey Waka,

CAN I STILL JOIN THE CLUB THOUGH ???


Absitively and posolutely :D

I was just about to send you an invite, but I see you beat me to the punch.


Don't worry, this is a disorganised religion and I intend to do my best to keep it that way. :jester: :clown: :drunk: Homer: Doh! monkey p:

dovish 28. July 2006, 05:31

Praise the Lard! Another church. Come visit the nuns of Dovish. We'll stroke your dogma if you'll stroke ours.

sanshan 29. July 2006, 09:11

Sometimes we take dogma for walkies but never ever stroke 'em. Not that kinda church.

wickedlizard 4. August 2006, 19:52

who is this "dovish" guy?

Mickeyjoe_irl 4. August 2006, 20:33

Well, Sister you can go see for yourself. But be warned, he takes Irreverend to a whole other level.

Not for children, conservatives, or anyone with the slighest regard for the Catholic church.

wickedlizard 4. August 2006, 20:44

I did! that´s why i asked.


well, he certainly listens to a different drum beat. :eyes:

Mickeyjoe_irl 4. August 2006, 21:07

Presumably, he just wandered by for a look. Our doors are open to all.

:left: However, I think he'll be happier with his own church. :right:
:whistle:

wickedlizard 4. August 2006, 21:08

:eyes:

i am still in shock.


:eyes:

sanshan 4. August 2006, 22:57

Yeah, it's kind of like driving by a car accident. You know you shouldn't look but you can't help yourself.

wickedlizard 5. August 2006, 00:29

tell me about it... :eyes:


gabydewilde 23. August 2006, 15:35

this church is better as yours

http://www.venganza.org/

:lol:

wickedlizard 23. August 2006, 15:38

interesting, the spaghetti monster... how did they come up with that idea?

sanshan 23. August 2006, 16:11

that's funny...

But how can any church be better than ours? Hmmm. Wars are started over those kinds of comments. Hmmmm. :rolleyes:

wickedlizard 23. August 2006, 19:22

that is so true Sanshan.

respect all faiths!

no one´s faith is better than the others.
Believe in what you want to believe in...

sanshan 23. August 2006, 19:50

And, although I agree their idea is really cool and very well done, ours really is like a little church/community however humble. If everyone in the world put down their guns and went for a walk, could you imagine ? :D

wickedlizard 23. August 2006, 22:45

oh what a wonderful world it would become....

:smile:

imagine all the people....

Well gaby that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. :angel:

I do agree that any religion would be better if it were as the COTWG. :devil: :wink:

wickedlizard 23. August 2006, 23:23

RE: Your invitation as new member

Dear administrators at
The Church of the Walker’s God,

I am deeply impressed that you choose me
for the invitation into your distinguished society.
And I appreciate the honor to be a member of it.
I am more than proud to accept this invitation.

Obviously you evalutated me weird enough to
qualify as a member.

But there is one little thing – and I hesitate to
confess my secret:

- I hate walking –

Now that this is said, I have to prospect for an excuse.

Maybe you could forgive me when I let you know, that
I grew up in a time, when gasoline was cheap and for
that reason I got used to drive instead to walk.

I only can solicit you to forgive my weakness.
If not so – may be there is a chance that I become
a member “honoris causa” - a COTWG member h.c.

I plead for your benevolently consideration

Uwe

wickedlizard 28. August 2006, 19:05

:lol:

A hate walking person!!! We need to convert!!! :lol:

Mickeyjoe_irl 28. August 2006, 22:15

Go to it Sister, but try not to be too hard on our newest member.

wickedlizard 28. August 2006, 23:29

we have to send him on a walking assignment... where does he live???
We have to do some careful research and choose a "walking" assignment for our new member and he will have to post photos afters! :lol:

Details!!!!

sanshan 28. August 2006, 23:41

That's a great idea W.L. Let's make a list, each day complete one task:

1. Walk out of the house to the road.
2. Walk down the street 25 m. and back to the house.
3. Take communion (cinnamon bun and Walking spirits)
4. Walk around block thinking happy thoughts about Elke's flowers
5. Don't drive for one whole day.
6.....what else?

volkuro 28. August 2006, 23:50

I know, #6 a cheese cake reward after every 5 km of walk!

sanshan 29. August 2006, 00:56

parfait!

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 09:13

That´s perfectly thought out.
How do we know he actually walked though????

ALLY_G 29. August 2006, 12:40

Hi dear blessed Irreverend, dear blessed Brothers and Sisters!

Thank you all for your help to make my hubby as a walker.
I guess, it will be a Mission Impossible... :D

But I can announce the happy message: the points 1,2 and 3 are already done! :angel:
I will work with him for the next steps and ask further for your assistance.
Maybe a little prayer could help? :sing:

Yours sincerely
Sister Elke

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 13:55

aaah!

your hubby????


yoo hoo! this is going to be easier than we thought!

Mission: take him to a park. Make him walk a dog or something for a minimum 30 minutes. While walking, he has to take photos of a few trees and a few flowers. And if possible, that you be in the photos as proof!!! :D

bfdolphin 29. August 2006, 14:29

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am overwhelmed by the kindness of you to integrate me
into your noble society.

Especially Sandy`s attempts to convert me and
on top of this give me an assingment make me musing.

The whole thing is topped by a “to do list”

Holy Lord, what’s coming over me?
If I had known before ………..

Thank God there is a nice guy like Mickeyjoe –
he really understands me and I only can confirm
his suggestion : DON’T BE TOO HARD ON ME

And I declare Louis as my #1 brother by his
proposal, to reward me with a cheese cake.
Well done Louis !!!!!

But it came as it had to come :
Elke jumped right into the idea of pushing me.
- What a shame -
She made we work off item 1 to 3 of this
rude assignment list !
And this under the worst conditions you could think of:
rain – cold – storm – boots – oilskin

but, believe it or not, I made it.
But I claim the cheese cake right now.
Otherwise I will not make one more step away from
my keyboard.

(well Isabel, it will not be that easy as you might think)

I wonder, which kind of nastiness you will propose next
and how deep you can involve Elke into your conspiracy ?

Uwe

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 14:32

:lol:


let´s see!!!! :devil:


you need some exercise!!!!

sanshan 29. August 2006, 16:11

That's not fair! It's not a conspiracy yet, we were just in the planning stages. :eyes: Elke that list wasn't finalized and approved by the Irreverand yet. :yikes: What have we done?

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 16:26

bfdolphin is worried.

elke has taken the lead.

and the church loses the reins....



:eyes:



whoa......

Mickeyjoe_irl 29. August 2006, 22:28

Ye were doing so well without me sticking my nose in I decided to let you handle it among yourselves.

Don't make me have to come over there! :irked:

:wink: :D

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 22:29

father, we lost the reins!!!!


Help!


sanshan 29. August 2006, 22:32

Me thinks we should let Elke to continue her quest. :knight:

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 22:34

But she needs orientation, the guy hasn´t walke din god knows how many years!!!! :eyes:

sanshan 29. August 2006, 22:44

Elke's an experienced walker and with Walkies guidance she will find the path to enlightenment. Have faith sister. :angel:

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 22:58

ok... :smile:


volkuro 29. August 2006, 23:41

Are we going to have our first church miracle?

Elke, with the help of Walky, you can do it :wizard:

wickedlizard 29. August 2006, 23:42

Go on elke!!!!

A miracle!!! :eyes:

bfdolphin 3. September 2006, 04:00

THE PAIN HAS AN END !!!
I've been suspended from the COTWG
No more need for Elke to push me up the hills

Did you all hear my sigh of relief

sanshan 3. September 2006, 04:11

no no no, It's my fault, I was doing some house cleaning and deleted you by mistake...you are still in our folds. You can't escape that easily! :D

bfdolphin 3. September 2006, 05:19

mmmhhh, Sandy, do you assume this to be good news for me?
...and my sunday could have been so nice and relaxed :-)
