I've heard there might be one or two others. However, I will step forward and admit, yes, I am one. I can take your confession now if you would like to unburden yourself. If you need some other help, just let me know.

Are you claiming equality with God...reverend? Psalm 111:9 I sure wouldn't want to be you at judgment?

Yeah, I got ordained by the Universal Life Church years ago as a gag. I never used it for anything, but it's still on record somewhere.

I am also an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. I did this so I can officiate in marriage ceremonies.

I am an ordained spiritual person, who lives her life according to the teachings of Jesus, Buddha etc. Being an ordained Minister, to me means nothing, and I am sure that it doesn't mean anything to God either.

Why do you teach by tradition!
Traditions that conflict with truth are like polluted water supplies. We might innocently hold fast to traditions—information, opinions, beliefs, or customs handed down from one generation to the next—that have, in fact, been contaminated by “a witch’s brew” of false, misleading ideas and philosophies. Just like contaminated water, these may cause untold harm—spiritual harm.
Even if we feel that our traditional religious beliefs are based on the Bible, all of us should take the time to examine them carefully.
Today, also, many traditional beliefs are ‘at variance with the very writings of the apostles.’ Christendom has poisoned the waters of truth with numerous demon-inspired ideas, such as the Trinity, hellfire, immortality of the human soul, nationalism, and idolatry. (1 Timothy 4:1-3) History testifies to the spiritual sickness that has overtaken people who fell prey to the demonic teachings that have become the traditional teachings of Christendom.—Compare Isaiah 1:4-7.
Such contaminating of truth has, in fact, been going on from man’s beginning. Satan has continued the process he started in Eden of poisoning people’s minds with lies and deceit. (John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 11:3) As the human family spread throughout the earth following the Flood of Noah’s day, people of all cultures became victims of a deliberate poisoning of the reservoirs of human knowledge with demon-inspired philosophies and ideas.
What harm can such spiritual contamination cause? We can compare it to the effects of polluted water on our physical health. Says one authority: “About 200 million people are victims of schistosomiasis (bilharzia) [snail fever, which produces anemia, discomfort, general ill health, and even death], caused by contaminated water on the skin. Five hundred million people have trachoma, one of the main causes of blindness, because of dirty wash water. . . . Some two billion members of the human species do not have safe drinking water.” (Our Country, the Planet) Millions of people have been spiritually debilitated, blinded, and even killed as a result of following traditions adulterated with false, demonic teachings.—1 Corinthians 10:20, 21; 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4.
Many, for example, are confused or blinded as to the relationship between Jesus Christ and his Father, Jehovah God. It became the custom among some who claimed to be Christians to omit God’s sacred name, Jehovah, from the Christian Greek Scriptures. Says George Howard in the Journal of Biblical Literature: “This removal of the Tetragram[maton], in our view, created a confusion in the minds of early Gentile Christians about the relationship between the ‘Lord God’ and the ‘Lord Christ.’”
Remember, even minute amounts of pollutants can have dire consequences. Sometimes it takes years before the effects show up
