What’s interesting about this is that there’s a lot of stuff being promoted by a group called Sojourners. Being the civic-minded person that I am, I poked around their website, reading their mission statements, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time for me to start my own

Civic Apprehension™©® was created in 2010 by activists seeking to broaden social constructs through the diverse surveying of various political theories, filtered through the scope of a homogenous application of a heterogeneous zeitgeist, consisting of three main principals: 1) the adherence to eco-friendly machinations, derived from a green pathos; 2) the promotion of self-awareness via attitudinal metamorphosis (with special attention to avoiding phobic deprecation of disadvantaged groups, whether it be through personal fault or via systemic oppression); and 3) metastasizing our current prospects so they can more effectually integrate an impactful change in socio-economic discourse, providing a new launch-point from which we can more effectively oversee the upkeep of a sanitized program of personal responsibility, invested with cultural and communal traditions, without distorting the individual aspect of transmutable lifestyles through needless judgmentalistic prejudice.I hereby appoint myself President, CEO, and Grand Poobah of Civic Apprehension™©® with the formal declaration that since Civic Apprehension™©® is a bold

Nope. But the first time I saw WCCC had associated with them. (Can't say I typically follow WCCC, after all.)
Wallis is a marxist. He's accepted a quarter of a million dollar donation from George Soros.

There's nothing in Christianity that requires you to be gullible cretins with regards to marxist plants like this guy.
I am contemplating starting my own social justice ministry named APPREHENSION CIVIC APREHENSION with no trade mark, copyright or registration fees.
ReplyDeleteThis organization will be diverse in nature. It will draw from all classes of society and economic streams. We will be well financed. We will not stop until we have taken our objection all the way to the Hague to stop you.
I was wondering though, if you might give me some guidance? How did you do that? I mean I just can't figure out how to put TM, the circle with the C in the middle or the circle with the R in the middle after APPREHENSION CIVIC APPREHENSION?
I once toyed with writing a fake masthead introduction to an article in a secular humanist magazine talking about how such and such a famous free thinker discusses his/her previously secret life to the horror of the morality police with delightfully raw candor.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I was at a missional relevant new Calvinist megachurch for a while and realized that anyone can unknowingly get sucked into jargon. :) I reconciled myself to a propensity for jargon by attending a fairly conservative Presbyterian church. ;-)
But if you sign up for their magazine, you can get a FREE Ghandi poster!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your new organization offering?
I'm thinking Dalai Lama placemats!
Good luck with your new org

For a limited time, if you donate $100 or more, you can use the Civic Apprehension™©® logo five times without having to pay the $10 fee.
Trust me, you won't find a better deal anywhere on the internet.

All you need is lots of acronyms. "The GA recommended TEs notify REs about the BOCO's stance on WIC, with special attention given to WCF XVIII:2, lest the FV/NPP controversy undermine a full defense of TULIP. The motion was tabled."

If you don't feel like memorizing the unicode values, the easiest way is to copy and paste them from the above :-) You can also make them appear in Word if you have it on default settings. Just type each character group in parentheses to get the result. For example,
Type: (c)
to get: ©

This might be the first time I've agreed with you :-)
Thanks, Peter, for both the pithy comeback and interesting post.
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas!
Thanks, do I still have to pay the $10 fee?
ReplyDeleteI think the $100.00 deal makes sense seeing you waive the $10.00?
Wait just a minute™©®(c)...!
