Presbyterian Jokes

My Saturday post about Catholic Jokes got me thinking about some of my favorite Presbyterian Jokes. Here are three.

First

What is a Presbyterian? A Presbyterian is a Baptist who likes to drink but doesn't have enough money to be Episcopalian.

Second

During a Presbyterian worship service, a man began to be moved by the Spirit.

Out loud, he said, "Amen!" People around him were a little disturbed.

Then louder, he said, "Hallelujah!" A few more people were becoming disturbed.

Louder still, he shouted, "Praise Jesus!"

An usher moved quickly down the aisle. He bent over and whispered to the man, "Sir! Control yourself!"

The man exclaimed, "I can't help it. I got religion!!!"

To which the usher responded, "Well, you didn't get it here!"

Third

A Presbyterian minister wrote a "letter to the editor" of the local paper, critical of actions taken by a local fundamentalist pastor. The next week, the fundamentalist pastor denounced the Presbyterian minister from the pulpit as an apostate. When the Presbyterian pastor heard about it, he remarked, "Now that is low. That is really low. Calling a Presbyterian pastor apostate. We have so little to fall away from in the first place!"

    When I was a kid in the late fifties here in Alabama they used to tell that aMethodist was a Baptist that could afford to war shoes, that a Presbyterian was an educated Methodist, and that an Episcopalian was a Presbyterian who could live off his investments

  4. Nice Dave. Thanks!

  5. when i was a little girl, who had been brought up in a jewish home, my girlfriend showed me two documents. One was a perfect attendance record from a baptist church sunday school and the second was from a methodist church. now being jewish i had always been told that you cannot change your religion. She said when they were baptists her father bought a gas station and became richer and moved to a methodist church. I went back and complained about this change t my father . He explained that baptists stay baptists til they make money. Once they get money and want to achieve higher standing in the community they become presbyterians hoping that they will become richer and then become episcopalians. And i said daddy what do they do then? He said then they convert to judaism where the richest members are. He laughed. It took me along time to get the joke.
