I was just looking at some youth ministry positions because, well, I don't know why anymore. Anyway, I found some things I thought were interesting:
LIAR:
“We desire a relationally strong shepherd who loves students, families and leaders and wants to be part of a great team!”
Forgot to say that he needs to be young, have a wife that plays piano, enjoy basketball and football, know how to play silly games, and say “dude”
TOO MUCH:
“The successful candidate will have a college degree, preferably in Christian Education, Elementary or Early Childhood Education, a minimum of 5 years experience leading a children's ministry program, proven knowledge of curriculum methods and an impressive track record leading, recruiting, organizing and training multiple lay leadership teams.”
I’m wondering, all this for a part time position with almost no pay? Why would someone with all that experience be looking for such a position? Makes me nervous.
NOT ENOUGH:
“tolerance for kids and their parents”
Ha.
AMUSING:
“Title: Pastor or Director of Children’s Ministries. *Position title will be determined based upon experience, education and other demonstrated qualifications.”
Which one is holier? The pastor or the director?
UNDEFINABLE:
“Demonstrate the character traits of Jesus Christ”
Is your Jesus a Republican? A feminist? A Lutheran?
WOW:
“We invite all qualified male candidates from North America to apply”
No Africans allowed.
ANNOYING:
“Musical ability helpful”
Why?! Why must all associate positions include this in their qualifications?
CONTRADICTORY:
“Able to follow instructions of Pastor/Elders, Authentic/Real lifestyle”
What happens when I authentically disagree with the elders? Do you really want a Pastorbot?

Ahh... the Job Listings- also known as Pastor Porn. :)
I DO know of a small church that meets here in PDX with a growing number of youth that need someone to love and disciple them :) No pay yet- but certainly something that could be worked into.
Oh Dan, you are cracking me up! You obviously have the spiritual gift of discernment (the ability to read between the lines)...did that one show up on any lists?
Thanks for the laugh.
Yes! Your blog is great, and I know something about the night elves, they are the race I WOW power leveling when I get my first account:The reclusive Night Elves power leveling[ were the first race to awaken in the World of Warcraft Power Leveling. These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races. The Night Elves barely managed to banish the Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was shattered and drowned by the sea. I love this race and suggested everyone that start their WOW power leveling a rogue or druidof night elf
what?
