What is the joke?

Question

Is there something people think about the people who attend a Southern Baptist Church? I go to a Southern Baptist Church and wasn't sure the views people have about it.

I'm sure who ask,but no, other peoples opinion would not change my place of worship.As for the ranting and raving going on,that don't happen every Sunday and wearing shorts,etc. are premitted.

For the girl who lost your cousin you have sympathy.

Answer 1

Going to church is a something that is your decision and i dont think what others think about the church should be of any consequence to you. If you have a belief, u got to stand by it

Answer 2

A lot of people view Southern Baptist churches as being very radical...you know, and the preachers get the "unction" and begin to rant at the congregation...not all Baptist churches are like this, they are just stereotypically this way.

Answer 3

here is your answer.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THERE ARE 10 DIFFERENT BAPTISTS. OK? SOUTHERN BAPTIST IS THE MOST CLOSE TO SCRIPTURE THAN ALL OTHERS. MOST DEDICATED CHRISTIAN SOUTHERN BAPTISTS ARE SO MUCH WELL VERSED AND GROUNDED IN THE WORD, THEY CAN EAT UP ANOTHER DENOMINATION WITH THE BIBLE WHEN CONFRONTED TO CHANGE DENOMINATIONS. A WELL VERSED SOUTHERN BAPTIST IS JUST THAT. THEY STAND UP FOR CHRIST UNDER ANY POLITICAL OR PEER PRESSURE. MOST PEOPLE PLAY POLITICS WITH RELIGION. I HAVE SEEN IT ON HERE. A PERSON WILL SAY ONE THING FOR VOTES, AND WHEN THE WHOLE GROUP DISAGREES, THEY CHANGE THEY'RE MIND FOR POPULARITY. A GOOD SOUTHERN BAPTIST WILL NOT DO THAT. THEY TAKE A STAND FOR CHRIST. CHRIST WILL TAKE A STAND FOR THEM.
PEOPLE BETTER HOPE CHRIST DOESN'T PLAY POLITICS FOR POINTS AND POPULARITY COME JUDGMENT DAY.


YES. I HAVE ATTEND A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH FOR 39 YEARS. ANOTHER CHURCH FOR 11 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST TEACHERS AND PREACHERS.

YOU KEEP IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST GROUP. LEARN ALL YOU CAN. I WOULD SUGGEST LISTENING TO CHARLES STANLEY. YOU MAY NOT LIKE HIM, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE IS NOT A MAN OF GOD. HE HAS BEEN BLESSED MANY TIMES OVER IN HIS MINISTRY. I HAVE LESTENED TO HIM DAILY FOR 21 YEARS. HE HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF WISDOM.

GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

Answer 4

It's a church with a lot of disagreement in it - nothing wrong with that - they get into some pretty wild discussions at their national convention. Southern Baptists in the Northern U.S. are a lot different than in the South, I think. I dated a girl whose Dad was a Southern Baptist minister - kids in their church were not allowed to dance, nor take gym class, nor wear shorts of any kind.

Answer 5

i don't know of any jokes about southern baptists. go to the church of your choice and worship God in the manner that you see fit.

well, actually, there IS this one joke. a catholic, a methodist, a lutheran and a jewish person all died and went to heaven. st peter welcomed them to heaven and gave them a grand tour of the place. they were so impressed with the streets of gold, the angels all around, and the beauty of heaven. finally, as they were about to end the tour they came up to a big wall that stretched the whole length of heaven and actually split it into two parts! there were big signs plastered all over the wall saying "QUIET", "NO LOUD NOISES" and "KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN". one of the people on the tour looked at the signs and whispered "St Peter, what is that wall for? and why are all those signs on it?"

St Peter gave a look of exasperation and whispered back "That's the Baptist section of Heaven. Be QUIET! They think they're the only ones up here!"

hahahahahahahahaahh

Answer 6

I've never been to a Southern Baptist church, although I've been to plenty of Baptist churches... My impression, however, is that the "Southern Baptists" service is a high strung/ emotional experience. Like I said though, I've never visited one.

Answer 7

The American Baptist preacher is holding forth with great enthusiasm about all the virtues of being a Baptist, to his large congregation. As he reaches his climax he bellows out the question:

"Who here is glad that they're a Baptist?"


With loud shouts of "Amen" and "Hallelujah" everyone raises their hands, with the obvious exception of one old lady in the front row. The preacher stops.

"How come you're not glad to be a Baptist?"


"Well you see, I'm just visiting; I'm a Methodist."'

The preacher smiles.

"And what on earth made you want to be a Methodist?"


"Well, my mother and my father were Methodists."


The preacher reasons with her:

"Now what if your mother and your father weren't Methodists but idiots? What would that make you?"


The old lady thinks for a moment and replies:

"I suppose that would make me ... a Baptist."

Answer 8

I use to be baptist, now I think for myself and don't thump my bible. It was funny how the preacher thought that everyone was going to hell. He thought that catholics were going to hell, but didn't baptist come from Catholicism? This is when I opened my eyes. I think people laugh at baptist for being so juvenile they always think "I'm right you are wrong," not to mention how many are so fanatical that they borderline psychos. Some of the trials I went thru sunday school were nuts.

Answer 9

If there's a joke it's because people are not thinking and going off of a stereotype.

I could ask you: What's the joke about nuns? You might say, I don't know, I don't really care/think about it. The fact is that most people get their information from movies, sadly, so that because I'm joining a convent people either think of the Sound of Music or the Blues Brothers.

Answer 10

The stereotype for Southern Baptists is "arrogant ignorant dumba$$".

Answer 11

I don`t know of any joke.I`ve been Southern Baptist and Church of God.But I believe that your believe should come from study not from some doctrine.
