Welcome to April

Welcome to April and a brand new blogger! I'm Victor Montgomery, and I'll be bringing a fresh, liberal perspective to this bastion of conservative thinking. For those who don't know, 90&9 was created with the 21st-century Apostolic in mind. Brave, open-minded individuals from Nashville developed a site where opinions about organizational authority and holiness standards could be freely expressed. Word of this proposed site quickly spread to the Hazelwood hideout, however, and they successfully lobbied to have one of their "young" prodigies, Kent Curry, accepted into the group leadership.

Having achieved this, Curry quietly brought in other hidebound Southern traditionalists, such as Shirley McDonald and Josh Lewis, to support his neocon theme. These allegedly unpaid staff members (rumors have surfaced about the shadowy "90&9 Booster Club" and Curry's new house in a ritzy Missouri neighborhood) helped move the site to the extreme right. For example, thought-provoking Big Questions such as "What is the one superficial thing you would change about your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife?" are no longer allowed. Future music reviews will be restricted to Southern Gospel quartets, avoiding controversial groups like PLAN:BE.

Although I may represent only a token nod by 90&9 to the Liberal Left, a demographic that obviously comprises most of today's young Apostolics, I intend to let my voice be heard this month. I'll give my thoughts on the role of TV and movie theaters in church evangelism, cufflinks on preachers, use of the archaic King James Version in Bible quizzing, and serving grape juice in communion services.
