Today, one of the best come-backs/jokes of all time occured. Sadly, it was completely wasted.

Let me give a little background. Two very close friends and I have, what we feel is, our responsibility to help people out. We do so by taking them under our wings, as it were, and teaching them how to find the path to enlightenment.

As a matter of humor. . . we have classified ourselves as a cult. "The Church of Is" to be specific.

Anywho, I was visiting my TBM mother (with whom I have no semblance of a relationship) and my Never-Mo grandfather (who is here in Utah for my younger sister's graduation).

As I was explaining what Keene, Mav and I do, I made the comment that we call ourselves a cult.

My mother, with her "razor-sharp wit" threw down.

Me: So, we have decided we are a cult.
Her: Well, stay away from those purple headcloths like that cult in California.
Me: As opposed to green aprons like the cult that meets in the Temple?

The sound of it whooshing over her head gave me a migraine.

Wow, good one! I would love to have been there for that! It IS really sad that the Mo's are so blind to the idiosyncracies of their religion that shout, "Insane!", but I share your pain. They just keep telling themselves that anything against their religion is "of the devil" and that Satan is trying to "lead them away" :Puking

But keep making jokes, because even if the Mo's don't appreciate them, you will :D

I like it. :cool: Have you a set of priciples etc? You know, like the articles of faith!

Will there be temples ? What will be required of the adherents?

I may want to join. Tell me the donations will not cost me %10 gross. I dont think I could do that again!! :rolleyes:


Can I make a small suggestion? I think this should be one of the initiatory rites.

As a memeber of the church of IS do you solemnly swear to give up what, why, and for , in exchange for the great overiding principle of IS? Bow your head and say yes. Then you would give them a :slap: .

Congrats your in!!
