One of them went something like this:<br />"A bus full of Baptists crashed and they all died. When they arrived at the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter welcomed them and took them on a tour of Heaven. There was a long hall with many doors. He opened the first one and showed them what was inside. "Here is where we have all the great peace makers of history." And the Baptists looked inside and were duly impressed. Then they came to the next door which he opened and said "Here is where we have all the great philosophers." And again they were impressed. And so it went with Saint Peter showing them all the great and virtuous, until they approached a certain door. "OK everyone, I'm going to have to ask you to quietly tiptoe past this door." And so they did. Once they were past, one of the Baptists asked "Why did we need to sneak past that door, Saint Peter?" "Oh," he responded, "that's where we keep the Catholics, they think they're the only ones up here."MikeDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116809134355184859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-46602103730500678462016-03-12T20:25:45.773-05:002016-03-12T20:25:45.773-05:00Anonymous, I'm going to guess Baptist -- but i...Anonymous, I'm going to guess Baptist -- but it's my third choice. At first I thought it was Catholics, because of the large families, but you said "preacher" and not "priest." So then I thought perhaps it was Mormons, who also have large families, but I'm not sure they use "preacher" either. So I'm going to go with Baptists, who do use preachers, and who do often have the names you give (Ethel is a family name in the wing of my family that is Primitive and/or Southern Baptist).Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-50705412157779408362016-03-12T16:28:34.675-05:002016-03-12T16:28:34.675-05:00Political jokes can be funny too, but I really enj...Political jokes can be funny too, but I really enjoy religious jokes that have the right spirit.

Bob was tragically killed in a terrible car accident, 12 years later. Judy remarried a third time, and this time she and John had five more fine children.<br />Judy finally died, after having 25 wonderful children.<br />Standing before her coffin, the preacher thanked the Lord for this very loving woman and said, "Lord, they are finally together."<br />Ethel leaned over and quietly asked her best friend, Margaret, "Judy’s had three husbands and 25 children. What do you think he means by saying they’re finally together?"<br />Margaret replied, "I think he means her legs!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-5710272653117766082016-03-11T18:05:33.860-05:002016-03-11T18:05:33.860-05:00"We're Methodists and we have a casserole..."We're Methodists and we have a casserole dish!"<br /><br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
