Church of the Lean and Thinners (Pun)

An Oregon church is apologizing for banning overweight and obese people from its worship team" and issued these other guidelines:

"chewing gum was forbidden, but members of the worship team were urged to use breath mints. They were expected to use “effective deodorant” but not “excessive colognes or perfumes.” There were also rules forbidding visible tattoos, excessive piercings, tight shirts, sneakers and shoes with white soles. "

Well, this certainly doesn't sound like a place for overweight , aging hippies - damn those white soled shoes - devil stuff, I tell you , devil stuff. If you don't adhere to their rules, “You must be in 100% agreement for you to flow with our team and in order for the anointing to flow through you." Ahh, that good old anointing.

What the fuck is a "Worship Team" anyway? Are they the ultra-good ones with a direct pipeline to God.
