Are you serious? If so then there's something wrong with you and your wife.

I signed up for this thing back in the late 90's, back then they let you pick from a slew of "titles" for yourself, but I'd never actually use my powers to marry people. Only for evil.

You should open up a Christian counseling clinic... maybe your buddies from 'Nam could use some couch time.

Yeah, I just got the list. I just changed my title from Father to Arch Bishop.

I remember when Leo Laport married a couple on a live broadcast back in TechTV days.

I've been ordained by ULC for years also... just never wanted to PAY to get the certificate in the mail :p

Maybe I should...
Then I can set up a marriage service...
Provide my services for a reasonable fee... or Pro Bono at my discretion, pending a special "counseling" session between myself and the bride to be....

I didn't have to pay a penny for the certificate.

You never did answer my question in the other thread a few weeks back about what country you originally come from.

He's a troll, what more did you expect?

Also, he probably came from the country of Chin.

Why is there something wrong with me and my wife? The Universal Live Church's big business is ordaining people so they can marry others. Which is why if you go to their website, that's the main thing they talk about on the front page.

He did get a license (well, he let the county know, you don't have to have a license to perform a marriage in California. ) You have to be an ordained minister to get the license though, ULC counts.

Please understand that there is no such thing as "instant online ordination." A computer cannot ordain you. Your request must be reviewed before your ordination can be done legally. You cannot be issued a credential automatically by a computer!

Haha... Back when I became ordained on their site, it WAS instant... took about 30 seconds altogether.

I Purchased one of those online, too. It is fun to show people and have them actually believe it! =)
