How Many Christians Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

Charismatic: Only 1 - Hands are already in the air.

Pentecostal: 10 - One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None - Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.


Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.

Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.


Amish: What’s a light bulb?

Truly a hoot 1rnfl

Don't forget us Quakers!

Quakers: Every member of the meeting must reach consensus that the light bulb needs to be changed then a committee must be delegated to oversee the actual changing of the lightbulb.

That's a good description of how they do things in academia. Applies to Quakers as well?

Yep, it sure does! Makes for some long drawn out sessions.

Irish Rover,

Were you directing that question to me? I might ask the same of you ;D

It's a long story..... in a nutshell I've been off work due to illness since 11/6 and my "sleep hygiene" is all out of whack LOL.
