How Mnay........does it take.......?? :D
Charismatics: Only 1. They already have their hands in the air.
Presbyterian's: Lights will go on and off at pre destined times.
Amish:What's a light Bulb?
Lutheran's: None; Luthereran's don't believe in any sort of change.
Roman Catholics: None: Only candles are permissable.
Mormons Five; one codger to change the globe and four wives to tell him how to do it.
Pentecostal's :Ten: One to change the globe and nine to pray against the demons of darkness.
Baptists: At least fifteen. One bloke to change the globe, and three committee members to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chook.
Uniting Church: Undetermined, whether your light is bright, dull, or completly out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, who gives a rip? A church lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring the bulb of your choice.
Unitarian's: We aren't in favour of or against globes (bulbs). If in your own journey you have found that globes work for you, that's ok. We invite you to write a poem or compose a dance about your globe for the next service, in which we will explore numbers of light bulb tradition's, including incandescent, fluorescent, etc. all of which are valid paths to luminescence.
Word Of Faith: None: they're all over in the corner confessin' that the globe will come to life or change itself!
Seventh Day Adventists: Light Bulbs are bad for health!
( All quotation's from Mulga Bill's Dinkum Aussie.......)

Love

Oh, and I have a few more! They are original ;)
Eastern Orthodox- Can't answer this one. They are still trying to figure out if lightbulbs are mentioned in the archives of the Ecumenical Councils.
Jehovah's Witness- 144,000- and all the others go door to door and tell others about the lightbulbs.
Roman Catholics- Depends on if it is a Pre-Vatican II or Post Vatican II lightbulb.
Salvation Army- Don't know, but we'll sell you a new lightbulb for a reasonable price.
:cool: Spongfan

Two answers: They wait on the inner light.

Not until Friends agree after nominating committee is formed to investigate feasablility of light bulbs. Item usually tabled until next Monthly Meeting for attention to business.

Having grown up in the Unitarian church, that is frighteningly accurate.

LOL! I've got to share those with my Dad! He's a Quaker pastor and he'll love it! After growing up in a spiritually abusive Quaker church (not just spiritually... I was verbally, emotionally and sexually abused in that church as well) it's amazing that I'm now finding my healing in a Quaker church. :)

It only goes to prove that spiritual abuse can happen anywhere. It is heartening you found help among friends.
