How to get ordained by 2manypaintchips

"Totally useless and painless process to become ordained in this way."

How I did it: Went to the themonastery-dot-org and correctly filled out my name and address.  At that point I got my printout, which looks ugly - so you need to shop for ministry stuff, and guess what?  They have a shop right there on the site! I only needed to get my credential certificate and wallet card so I shelled out $20 for those optionals plus shipping.  My certificate came in just a couple days (still waiting for the wallet card).

If I was totally serious I could have gotten "Ministry in a Box", Doctor of Divinity or one of other certifications like "Minister of Rock n' Roll".

Lessons & tips: It's up to your state if they wanna accept this ordination for legal ceremonies (mine really doesn't).  If I ever did perform a ceremony, I would have the couple actually get a legal marriage done at city hall the day before - just to be safe.

    Sure it’s a crackpot thing that’s probably insulting to those who do the real ministry work, but I’m ordering my $6 credentials and insisting a couple specific people call me Reverend for it. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll even perform a ceremony.

    You should definitely get ordained. It’s great and it was really cool to be the “minister” at my friends wedding, and they said it was much more personal having a friend at the end of the aisle than a stranger that they’d met a few days before.
