Join us... come join the cultA friend of mine recently floored me with the admission that he'd spent several years in Eastern Europe with the Moonies. And he seemed so normal. Have you or your mates disappeared into a cult? Now that the brain-washing has worn off, tell us all about it.

Bloody midwest...I live in the hometown of a paticular strain of Baptists... the Assemblies of God branch. They make churches as big as malls. They're just a bit cultish... a guy I worked with was a member. He eventually got fired for heavy proselytizing (instead of actually, you know, working) and apologizing to the manager for her being jewish. As in, "I'm sorry that you're jewish."
Anyway... while he was there, I attempted to reason with him, (oops) producing this little bit of dialogue.
me - "So, what religion was Jesus, then?"
him - "Assemblies of God, of course!"
me - "Were they around back then?"
him - "Um..."
me - "What about maybe Jewish?"
him - "Nah, not possible."
Apologies for length and lack of lube.
