just another random thing

I assume they were all Jews in Noah's day.

By the way, as we enter hurricane season, don't you think it appropriate that our Nation Oceanic and Atmospheric division is abbreviated NOA and pronounced Noah?

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought was so funny...

Last week, my boss, who's a really annoying southern baptist said, in front of a group of people "I saw the weirdest thing online the other day (she loves the word weird, meaning 'not like me') I saw an online dating website for Jews. That's weird."

I am soooo glad I wasn't the one that said "Well, there's christian dating websites"
To which she replied, quite seriously "Yeah, of course there are."

oy

I recall a discussion, rhat here, that mentioned Christians, Catholics, and Jews as three separate religions. Now, to me they all make exactly the same amount of sense, but I am always a bit taken aback when I hear reference to Christians and Catholics as separate religions.

I once asked someone if he were some kind of nut. He said "No. Southern Baptist". Honest.

gevalt..

I chuckle when people don't see catholics as christians.



Chai, I largely admire you for dealing continuously with this particular boss. (I remember other stories).

lol re the Christians and Catholics.

The boss has an opinion on that as well. Wanna guess what it is?


My husbands mother was a Jehovah's Witness. He grew up in a town with just a few hundred people. His mother and some other woman were the only JW's.
He said "whenever people saw Clara (his mom) and Dolores walking down the street together, they knew not to come to the door."

He also said Clara's idea of being a JW was that they only had Christmas trees some years.

Knowing that he, nor any of his 10 brothers or sisters are religious, I asked him if his dad belonged to any religion.
He said, seriously "oh yeah, dad went to the Lodge."

Re catholics, he said there were a few in town, but "As long as they didn't take any of Our babies to sacrifice, they were pretty much left alone. Well, except for Clara who called them the Whore of Babylon."

I love listening to his stories about religion. It's like a hottentot telling you how a waffle iron works.
