A Religious Debate Part 11

The day of the great debate came. Joseph and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers . Joseph looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Joseph pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Joseph pulled out an apple. The pope stood up and said, ''I give up. This man is too good. The witnesses can stay.''
An hour later , the cardinals were all around the Pope asking what had happened. The Pope said, ''First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He held up one finger to remind me that there was one god Jehovah common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that god was all around us. He responded by pointing to the groundand showing that God wass also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple tp remind me of original sin. he had an answer for everything. What could I do?'' Meanwhile , the Witness community had crowded around Joseph. ''What happened?'' they asked. Well,'' said Joseph, ''First he said to me we had three days to leave. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole would be cleared of witnesses. I told him we were staying right here.'' ''Yes, yes....and then???'' asked the crowd. ''I don't know.'' said Joseph, "He took his lunch out,and I took out mine.''i
