As Leon correctly stated, a jointer simply should not be used in an
attempt
to make opposite faces/edges "parallel".

The practice I have seen on woodworking tv shows goes like joint one
edge, rip on TS 1/32" oversize, then go back to the jointer to take
that 1/32" off. If the jointer isn't introducing a taper then they
should still be parallel.

Yep ... as long as the first step was joint an edge, then rip to width, that
should work providing the jointer is setup properly and you're a practiced
hand with the machine.

AAMOF, it's not uncommon to do that on panel glue-ups to take advantage of
complementary angles by jointing adjoining boards one edge face in, the
other face out.

That is not the same as what I stated above, however.
