It’s all of the lime jello.
(Former Lutheran joke.)

I thought that was a Baptist joke?
- Stu
  No, the Baptist one involves taking more than one of them fishing with you to preserve your beer supply.
  Though maybe desire for synthetic fruit flavored deserts is a protestant thing. It is darn near heretical.
  - Beccolina
    I thought both of those jokes were about Mormons, actually. The skit reminds me of a line by a writer, “Silly is just silly, but funny is TRUE.”

    The Lutheran I know is obsessed with Jello, and even managed to create an all-gelatin meal that included aspic.

Just perfect – many a true word spoken in jest, or joust!

That’s the masterful stylings of Hans Fiene… I would recommend taking a look at all his videos, although he has a lot of problems with the Catholic Church he also seems to have a great deal of respect for much of what the church stands for

  @Billy Kangas:
  I, too, adore Pastor Fiene’ s work and have seen all his Lutheran Satire videos. He’s in a class by himself.

Sorry but to me this is just f-cked up and gives me a headache. I acknowledge Lutherans as our fellow Christians, but they – and Protestants generally (not to mention Catholics) – just get on my f-cking nerves.
- SouthCoast
  Prehaps, JB, you should attempt to cultivate a chaste nerve or two. Just for variety’s sake, if nothing else.
  - Stu
    Or have a drink.
    - JB
      I was drunk when I wrote that, so I thank you for your friendly chastisement.
- Clare Krishan
  JB – then perhaps you need some worship aids to focus your prayers, how about this fine ‘traditional’ patrimony:

  http://www.domsanierung.de/en/bernward%E2%80%99s-column-christ%E2%80%99s-column
  both Catholic originally but carefully treasured and preserved for centuries by Lutherans – including a fundraiser to prevent the latter being melted for scrapmetal value in war time
  – be thankful for small mercies, I say!
