You guys are killing my latest joke. You know that, right

Yes. Yes, we do.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe in resurrection to earth, except for 144000 who will rule in heaven with God and Jesus.
If i missed anything, stitch will probably tell you once he comes on

Mikey tell me if I'm wrong but I thought Jew's had a heaven, just not a hell in the christian sence.

That depending on how you lived your life determined how close in heaven you were to God.

After the Roman occupation, Judaism did evolve into a messianic religion. But as far as I've been taught, the closest thing to a Christian afterlife we have is Olam Ha-Ba - "the world to come." Supposedly the ru'ach - "spirit, breath, animus" - returns to G-d, from whom it came initially. No mention of any kind of existence as we'd conceive of it after death, though.

Apparently, I'm Jewish. Who knew?

How did you get the news broken to you?

Just now. That's pretty much what I believe, especially this bit:

well, just because you believe in the bit about the happenings of death doesn't mean you support the faith

Yeah, I know. I guess I should've used an emoticon to indicate the sarcasm.

maybe I should have too

Besides, depending on the practices of the hospital where you were born, there's a much easier way to tell.

Yeah, you guys don't... *ahem* "clip the tip", until way later on, right? I'm not a fan of that concept.

OW!

8 days, is all.

Anyway, a Xmas joke: How the angel got atop the tree.

One year, some time ago, Santa Claus was having a hell of a time. The elves were unionizing, and making outrageous healthcare demands. There was an epidemic of hoof-and-mouth among the reindeer. The naughty-and-nice list was burned under "mysterious circumstances," and Mrs. Claus was rumored to have been spending a lot of time with the Easter Bunny. Working late in his office one night, trying to piece Christmas back together, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Exasperated, he screamed, "What?! What do you want, dammit?"

The door opened, and an angel came in dragging a tree. "I got your Christmas tree, Santa. Where do you want me to stick it?"
