Guest guest Posted November 18, 1998 Report Share Posted November 18, 1998 It seems that these four rabbis had a series of theological arguments, and three were always in accord against the fourth. One day, the odd rabbi out, after the usual "3 to 1, majority rules" statement that signified that he had lost again, decided to appeal to a higher authority. "Oh, God!" he cried. "I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them!" It was a beautiful, sunny day, but as soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. "A sign from God! See, I'm right, I knew it!" But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days. So the rabbi prayed again "Oh, God, I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong!" This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill. "I told you I was right!" cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes. The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a *very big* sign, but just as he said, "Oh God...," the sky turned pitch black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned, "HEEEEEEEE'S RIIIIIIIGHT!" The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other three, and said, "Well?" "So," shrugged one of the other rabbis, "now it's 3 to 2." ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø ************************************************************************* * Purohit JAya Tirtha ChAran dAsan \\\\ //// ø |\/\/\/| º * * * jtcd (AT) xtra (DOT) co.nz \\ || // °|/\/\/\| ¤ * * jtcd.purohit (AT) priest (DOT) com ( @\/@ ) ¤|\/\/\/| ø ¤ * * | | oOOo-(_)-oOOo ° ¤ * * | | Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare * * |__| Hare RAma Hare RAma RAma RAma Hare Hare * * ( ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Oooo~~~~~~~~~~~ * * \/ oooO ( ) * * Phone: +64 7 549 1807 ( ) ) / /\ * * (Plus 11:30 Hrs GMT.) \ ( (_/ \(__)/ * * \_) )VV( * * =>:-) Om tat yajumAnam sArvam kArmani (~~~~) * * \__/ * * http://welcome.to/jtcds-functional-priest-Home-Page * * http://home.talkcity.com/ReflectionsRd/purohit/ * ************************************************************************* `°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
