I wonder how many times this one may have been contributed here already. Oh well what can one more time hurt?
A man arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter asks, “Religion?”
The man says, “Methodist.”
St. Peter looks down his list and says, “Go to Room 24, but be very quiet as you pass Room 8.”
Another man arrives at the gates of heaven. “Religion?”
“Lutheran.”
“Go to Room 18, but be very quiet as you pass Room 8.”
A third man arrives at the gates. “Religion?”
“Presbyterian.”
“Go to Room 11, but be very quiet as you pass Room 8.”
The man says, “I can understand there being different rooms for different denominations, but why must I be quiet when I pass Room 8?”
St. Peter tells him, “Well, the Baptists are in Room 8, and they think they’re the only ones here.”
Going to a Baptist church, I sometimes remark, “I pray that they’ll make it to heaven”–only to tease the history exactitude in terms of doctrine. However, the ones I know are actually pretty open minded and kind–they’d give the shirts off their backs to others. I like religious jokes!Thanks.
St. Peter must know that the Baptists aren’t smart enough to realise there must be other people in rooms 1 to 7.
Hmpf!
Well, I have sat in the pew with some such Baptists in my life.
And Presbyterians.
And Luterans.
and and and.
Well if you get tired of your room don’t forget there is always an informal party going on in the basement for all the cool kids and everyone is welcome. ![]()
Speaking of church jokes, here are 2 we’ve posted already
How do different philosophies approach difficult problems?
Consider the case when all the houses of worship in a small town faced a squirrel infestation.
Squirrel Infestation Joke - Open Board - Textkit Greek and Latin .
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue; they took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
just printing this one again from post #57 in the spirit of the denominations joke from @jasonbourne4
Also from @Laura “None, it would involve the raising of hands in the sanctuary”
and from @Larry_Bunce , “Change that bulb!–my grandmother donated that bulb to the church.”
This category seems like a good place to congratulate Paraleptopecten on winning the local museum Bug Day Bug Eating Contest. Why don’t the Bible Diet folks follow John the Baptist?
Quite an accomplishment ! What was the prize? Looking at the pics online, eating that rhino beetle would have been a chore. Hope they had a little honey mustard dip to go with them. Or ranch.
Getting them down being a chore was actually the point of the challenge - trying to get something rather dry down quickly. The prize was a basket of assorted arthropod-themed items, including a small packet of ready-to-eat rhino beetles, in case one was still hungry.
“A genuine anteater,” the pet man told my dad!
Turned out it was an aunt eater.
And now my uncle’s mad!
