| | | PB Members: Pimp My Vestments
I saw this picture of the president meeting with some church leaders in Jerusalem. 
It got me go to thinking: The folks on the PB are no less spiritual than these guys with their flat heads, ZZ Top beards and maximum bling-bling. We just need the right vestments to enhance, embellish and exculpate (sorry, I worked a bit too hard for that alliteration and may have strained something) our sense of spirituality.
Does anyone have any ideas for some vestments we could start wearing to let people know how special we are. Here is my vision for PB vestmental validity:  |

Maybe it's a little scary but to me it says,
"Drop one of the five points at your own peril!".

I suppose I could support the wearing of said vestments, but only if that thing on the top of the helmet spins.

Good ideas Josh. I'm a little concerned about all the pointy things sticking out given that we are such a huggy, touchy, feely bunch. I especially like the usher garb. If we let them take up the offering I bet we can triple our regular giving.  |

What? No limited atonement? I'll limit you! 
I always prefer a more "spiritual" look in attire. The angel of the Lord clothing ensemble has the virtue of providing a fully customizable lance/spear. For only $25 they were willing to upgrade me to "cattle prod" functionality, allowing a 50,000 volt "wake up call" to sleepers in the congregation. I get a full ten thunderbolts per 2 hr. charge.

Josh, you need to think these things through. You can't just throw some idea out there and not consider the consequences. Take a look at these two images and tell me honestly - do you really want to see senior pastors wearing the gladiator vestment?????  |

I did think through it. The reason you posed above is precisely why I chose such a picture. To imagine all our PB pastors in that garb is, well, just funny...and kind of gross. |

The tree-topper kinda looks like a tulip... that would work! This one gets my vote. I'll propose it to my pastor this Sunday.

Yes, "exculpate" means to remove charge or blame.
