Facetious Guidelines for Quaker Messages

Note to people with no sense of humor: This blog post is a joke!

In Quaker Worship, there are a couple of guidelines you should follow in order to discern whether what you are considering saying should be shared with the people you are with. It is fortunate that they are very simple and easy to remember. I discerned these guidelines today after reading one prominent Quaker's facebook status, which said : "(name) should not be on facebook during business meeting."

Guideline 1: The message should come from God.

Guideline 2: The message should be un-boring enough that people don't quit listening and go check facebook.

I encourage you to speak during a Quaker meeting for worship, or a Quaker meeting-for-worship-for-business if (and only if) what you have to say follows both of those guidelines.
