3342 The Frozen Chosen
I've been following a discussion at another blog about the way WaPo messed up a story about the Falls Church and Truro Episcopal congregations (Fairfax, VA) worship and leaving the denomination. To say the reporter attempted to portray the believers (some prominent Republicans) as weirdo kooks would be mild hyperbole, but close enough. The comments have been as interesting as the original article, and it seems that Lutherans and Episcopalians also use the term "frozen chosen" which originally was a derogatory term for Calvinists, particularly Presbyterians. Anyway, I saw this joke in the comments and laughed out loud.
A young boy was shocked to find that his neighborhood playmates had never been baptized. Thinking quickly, he led them all to the nearest church.
A janitor, the only person there at the time, opened the door and let them in. Upon hearing what they wanted, he led them into the bathroom, where he proceeded to sprinkle each of them with water from a toilet.
Walking home, the boys began to wonder what demonination they had joined.
"Well we can't be baptists," one boy said, "because they dunk you all the way in."
"Well, we can't be Catholics," another boy said. "They pour water over your head and light candles."
After further discussion, another boy finally interrupted in disgust. "Come on, guys, didn't you smell that water? We're 'piscopalians!"
