Squirrels in Church
Posted: Mon Feb 29, 2016 12:40 pm
There were four churches and a synagogue in a small town: a Presbyterian church, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Roman Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue.
Each church and the synagogue had a problem with squirrels.
The Presbyterians called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined the
squirrels were pre-destined to be there and they shouldn¹t interfere with God¹s divine will.
At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the
baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide, but, unfortunately, they knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as
many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Methodists decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God¹s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them
free near the Baptist church.
Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.
But the Roman Catholics came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church.
Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue, however. They took one squirrel and circumcised him; they haven¹t seen another squirrel since..........
