How come Jehova's witnesses only go bothering people door to door in nice weather?

He then said this: "How interesting! We are going to visit a couple of girls upstairs from you later and they are also biologists. And do you know what? (whispering) They believe in monkeys!"

Saved my day

ROFL

Reminds me of the paper some Colleague of mine someday got, while he walked in the Parc.
Don´t know from which religious community it was, but in the paper they desperately tried to explain, why the Theory of Evolution must be wrong (and of course the story of Human Creation as written in the Bible must be literally right )

We had a good laugh about the Paper (never understood why he hadn´t told them that he [same as me] was a Student of Biology and tried to convince them of the truth of the TOE [although it is most of the times fruitless to argue against religious zealots ] )

I still think a Buddhist Jihad woulda shocked the hell out of almost everyone in the world.

Damn Zen monks. They never wanna do what I wanna do!

Don't they believe that only a few hundred thousand people will ever got to heaven.(the ones who give lots of money no doubt)

144.000 which is 12 * 12.000
Don´t know why but I think it has something to do with the 12 as a holy number.

It seems you don't need to give them money to be one of "the chosen". Even though I believe in monkeys , listen to death metal, and refused to read the bible with these guys, they still claimed I was one of the (144.000) chosen. I think they knew because I have a holy mark on my forehead or something like that

[TheStinger]

So if your chosen you can do what you want?

[Combat Ingrid]

No. If I remember correctly, the chosen ones will together build the new Jerusalem, the paradise where everything will be so great and nice and so on

At least we don't have to burn for an eternal eternity

Hey, if I were a buddhist, I'd have no problem with a Jihad, or maybe even some plain old rioting...

Could have picked a better name. Jerusalem has never been that great a city.

Something like "Damascus" might be a better choice.:P

I was just thinking of throwing poo on oversized SUV's, so you guys are WAY ahead of me.

I was thinking how the words 'Aer Lingus' make me feel like a giggling schoolgirl. I am, like, SO mature.

I had that same problem in Latin classes when the teacher would use the word 'cum'. Damn, it was annoying. I am not even a girl for goodness' sake.

I don't believe in monkeys

The 12 trbies of Israel of course

WARNING: Possibly offensive to sensitive viewers.

How come 12 is a holy number (e.g. number of apostles, number of tribes) but if you add Jesus to the mix you get 13, which is supposedly a 'bad-luck' number in the US, and if you add God in there you get 14, THE bad-luck number of China.

(Brought to you by the numbers 12, 13, and 14 and the letters 'F' and 'U'!)

[MattH]

I think you're looking too far into this, st.

Then again, what caused 13+14 to be bad numbers
