I agree the current crop are a bunch of uptight ninnies, but who knows? They might get someone like their old leader Jock McCrabb back in charge.
You see old Jock was fond of a drink or two... ...and after these he would host meetings of the Brethren where he would crack a joke and start quoting from Aleister Crowley's Bible.
He even supported some swingers in their quest to get in on the Brethren.
"The family that plays together stays together!", thundered old Jock from his pulpit.
So you see there is still hope that this group of Liberal voting misfits will get back to their original teachings of wine, women, and song.
Maybe after they kick Andrew Bolt out!

I was a member of the Exclusive Brethren and Jock McCrabb was never a leader, the EBs never used Aleister Crowley's Bible (always JND) and they certainly never had a pulpit. As far as their original teachings went, they were mostly teetotallers prior to the 60s. Is this supposed to be journalism????  |

That XenoxNews.com is the last bastion of REAL journalism in the landscape of the Australian Media. We will never shy away from telling the truth, no matter who it hurts. As for this story you will have to take it up with Pastor Pervy, but I have always found him to be as truthful as your average churchman. |

I was unaware that they were thelemites. I don't know about cracking a joke, but they were into cracking a fat or two! (most pleasing to the eye of The Lord I believe) - Reverend Veddy Pleasant-Fellowes |

It wasn't Jock McCrabb who was in charge of the EB. It was Phil McCrevice. My apologies. Pastor Pervy |

I do believe the men were Ben Doon and Phil McCavity. Men of extraordinary depravity! - Reverend Veddy Pleasant-Fellowes |

Are you sure Rev P-F? My research fails to find any mention of these characters in the history of EB. |

I may be somewhat confused by the similar names. Still, one never forgets depravity, but then we get to see so much of it among the faithful, don't we? May the lord bless you, Pastor Pervy, and may there not be too much wailing and gnashing of teeth! (--Matt. 13:49,50.) - Reverend Veddy Pleasant-Fellowes |

My apologies to The Dark One: May The *Lord* bless you, Pastor Pervy. Fancy using lower-case for The Lord. There will be Hell to pay... - Reverend Veddy Pleasant-Fellowes |

It now turns out that Aleister Crowley's family were some of the original Brethren founders. At least that is what that font of all knowledge wikipedia says. So maybe the Brethren are OK; I mean if old Aleister Crowley was a member they can't be all bad, can they? |
