A Jewish father was troubled by the way his son turned out, and went to see his Rabbi about it. "I brought him up in the faith, gave him a very expensive barmitzvah, cost me a fortune to educate him. Then he tells me last week he has decided to be a Christian! Rabbi, where did I go wrong?"
"Funny you should come to me," said the Rabbi. "Like you I, too, brought my boy up in the faith, put him through University, cost me a fortune, then one day he, too, tells me he has decided to become a Christian."
"What did you do?" asked the father.
"I turned to God for the answer" replied the Rabbi.
"And what did he say?" pressed the father.
"God said, 'Funny you should come to me...' "

March 08 KM - Jesus is not Saviour?
by DoomVoyager inin the special box in the march 2008 km, the last sentence says something about "jehovah, our saviour.".
i guess this is a confirmation of that isolated 1979 article which shows that the "great crowd" do not have any particular relationship with jesus.
does anyone have a scan of this km?..

Whoever sent the SAVIOR is the SAVIOR as well..not necessarily the same person..Both are in accord..GOD SUPPLIES THE SAVIOR< JESUE IS THE SUPPLY OF THE SAVIOR

I think they literally take the word SUBMISSION
The word should be looked at "UNDER A MISSION" - not whips and chains

At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue.. While he was checking the books he turned to
the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do
with the candle drippings?" "Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back
to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of
candles." "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way:
"What about all these matzo purchases?
What do you do with the crumbs?" "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying
to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them
back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of matzo balls." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster
the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with
all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?" "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save
up all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a
year they send us a complete d&ck. -
