  Jesus Quiz

  by closer2fine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the following "diagnostic" quiz will attempt to pigeonhole you, reducing you from a complex, nuanced person to a simple caricature.

  we obviously don't pretend that this is scientific, and, to be honest, part of the goal is to have some fun.

  but there is a serious point here, too: one's approach to the bible reveals a great deal about one's approach to religion generally.

  You scored 106, on a scale of 0 to 400. Here's how to interpret your score:
  0 - 59		You are a Jesse Ventura Christian (a.k.a. a "Secularist" or non-Christian).
  60 - 149		You are a Bishop Spong Christian (a.k.a. "Biblical Revisionist").
  150 - 249		You are a Hillary Rodham Clinton Christian (a.k.a. "Left-Leaning Traditionalist").
  250 - 329		You are a George Bush Sr. Christian (a.k.a. "Right-Leaning Traditionalist").
  330 - 400		You are a Jerry Falwell Christian (a.k.a "Historicist").

  This next is a little erie:

  Bishop Spong Christian
  (a.k.a. "Biblical Revisionist")
  You think the Bible is a powerful metaphorical narrative and believe that Jesus was a heroic figure similar to Gandhi. You believe in God as a loving creator and that She will forgive you for just about anything. You're willing to admit that you don't believe in the resurrection. You go to church for the sense of community and the music and because you like to hector your fellow Christians about their backward ways. You watch "Touched by an Angel" but don't cry (well, OK, except that one time when the boy with leukemia met his real father). You read Toni Morrison, Deepak Chopra, and Bishop Spong, the controversial Episcopalian prelate. You ardently support gay rights and feel guilty that you yourself are not gay. (If you are gay, you're in a loving, committed relationship-not yet). You live in a leafy university town, order Chai at Starbucks, wear hand-blocked clothing, and subscribe to The New Yorker. You watch TV so you can talk ironically about how bad TV is. You give to charity, preferring the local homeless shelter to those bureaucratic national charities. For you, the crux of Christianity is Jesus' revolutionary message of empowering "the least of these."

  Bold is my emphasis, that was better than a fortune cookie.

  "the Society teaches"

  by somebody in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  *** w98 3/15 p. 19 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***

  4 in order to avoid misunderstandings, jehovah?s witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves.

  instead of saying, ?the society teaches,?

  At Somedeadguy chapter 5 verse one-is-just-as-good-as-another we can clearly see that by removing the context xyz is actually abc. So we can truly rejoice in the truth that the truth has truthfully provided."

  Very funny Dude!

  They may not be fundamentalist in the strict sense, but they're all still sharing a room with the cocoa Puff Bird.

  I like to think our future is full of promise, but we have to make it that way.

  It's hard to believe that so many good, intelligent, GERMAN American people could have been involved in something so horrible.

  I think the wrong people have been in control for too long. I think that a great deal of our history has been rewritten or supressed.

  Sorry. I had a brain fart and forgot to go find the link. Here it is. They also have seminars where you can go and actually learn how to do this. I'm thinking of doing that this summer. I'll let you look at it instead of me trying to describe what this is.

  Will sombody PLEASE email growdup and tell her to come back. There is not going to be a cat fight. I'm not like that, and neither is she.

  As for deleting her comments, I think they should stay as an example of honest and simple misunderstanding on my part, and our mutual agrement that it was/is nothing.

  I understand now. DO NOT change anything.

  My was because I have wanted to be a parent since I was about 5 --I can't say "Daddy" as that means something TOTALLY different in my tribe. No worries. I also took that to mean that Bradley may be attracted to chunky people, of whitch I was not at that age.

  It's all better now.

  Why do you say "oh s**t,"

  'Cuz Dark Uncle raised him from an infant! But don't tell him that because he hasn't come to terms with it, yet!

  I like the concept. But I think the american politicians and energy merchants would try and stop such a self reliant system.

  Have you seen the place in Cali that builds dome homes very inexpensivly? Its called Caltech something, I'll try and find the link.
