Ever Wonder How Many Christians Is Takes To Change A Lightbulb?

Charismatic:  Only 1   
                          Their hands are already in the air.

Pentecostal:   10
                          One to  change the bulb, and 9 to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians:  None
                             Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic:  None
                                 Candles only.

Baptists:  At least 15
                  One to change the light bulb, and 3 committees to approve the change and decide                   who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Episcopalians:  3
                              One to call the electriciann, one to mix the drinks and one to talk about
                              how much better the old one was.

Mormons:  5
                     One man to change the bulb and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians:  ____
                      We choose not to make a statement either in favor or against the need for a
                      lightbulb.  However, if on your journey you have found that light bulbs work
                      for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your
                      light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explorea number of light
                      bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long life, halogen,
                      and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists:  Undetermined
                       Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved.  You can be
                       a light bulb, a turnip bulb or a tulip bulb.  Bring a bulb of your chioce to the
                       Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.

Lutherans:  None
                      Lutherans don't believe in change.

Amish:  ____
              What light bulb?


  Disclaimer:  The intent of this blog has three purposes:  #1) -  FUN!  #2) I figured I may as well post this, if the Apocolypse DOES arrive tomorrow (8/22/06),  then this will be one less thing for me to wish I had not put off until...?  and,  #3)-  I FINALLY learned how to upload/download/whatever -you-call-it images onto my blog...and well....felt the need to brag before you-know-what (?) happens, and no one would be around to witness my miraculous new skill!!!  

Or I should say, 'new found' skill...the miracle will be if I remember how to duplicate this miraculous feat!
