How many different types of Christians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that it had been changed.

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb".

Another six to condemn those six as stupid.

Nineteen to post that the group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best bulbs, what brand of bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

Seven to post where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

Four to post links they found from the that are relevant to this group which make light bulbs relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures and add "Me Too".

Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

Five to actually call the lighting industry on the phone just so he/she could (be the correct high almighty).

Thirteen to say "do a google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".

Three to tell a funny story about their show and a light bulb.

AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with something unrelated they found and start the crap all over again.

Just had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing sooooo much...



One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4

HUH!

Ooooh, the good ol' Sheri is back!!

Well, what about the group that bans those who disagree with changing the light bulb just because it got historical and precious flies' dump on it, and just not for the bulb's sake?

However let's assume that the light bulb really doesn't work (no mistakes here), and therefore it "must" be changed, wanting or not. Somebody has to change it since it won't change itself nor be renewed by hanging there in the socket. Sure someone can make a blog about praying for it to be changed, in due time or urgently. However one can't disregard the possibility that without a new bulb, life wouldn't be the same as earlier! At least not that bright!

Oh well, someone sooner or later has to notice that that bulb isn't working anymore.
If it's installed in a strategic place, to illuminate the environment, it certainly would be dark there, unless there are other working bulbs around one can use. Turning a blind eye or a deaf ear to the situation wouldn't actually change anything. The only exception would be if one shuts both eyes; then it would "always" be dark, day and night, summer and winter, with or without any light bulb.

It has to be considered also how many persons actually benefit from the bulb's light in question, and who owns it. If it's only one person, others would clearly say that this is not their business, with the exception of those who sell light bulbs, or they would go out of business. Think if it's only a light bulb shop, and they don't sell anything else. How could they make a living?? Perhaps the owner would advertise for several freelance school kids and pay them a provision of, say, 5-10 cents per bulb? They would just have to go from door to door, like they do on Halloween's Eve, and sell as many bulbs they can. The best sellers could be promised a prospering career in the bulb market, with lifetime benefits.
(If they are JW's they could kill two birds with a stone.)
They could even be promoted, take courses (with final exam) on how to screw off and on light bulbs, and then doing the job themselves, saving all those Christian bulb's owners from the exasperating fatigue of doing it themselves.

Because these kind of problems only arise when there are two, three or more of them.
I personally would have liked my own private light bulbs, so I could avoid to discuss who, how, when and why the bulb has to be changed in the first place. Of course, one could also draw lots (the Jews did) to determine the hierarchy of each and every single step.

Are all these Christians going to use that only bulb in joint and for a long period of time, one could even make a list about who did this and who did that. There could be weekly meetings, where everyone could vividly argue, forward advices, complains etc. and another chosen and trustworthy person could do the notes and filing for easy reference in the future.

Hahahaaaaa... unless all of the previous has to be done with and by the light of that specific bulb, I'll tell ya, whatever it will take to change it would be achieved in a matter of seconds, 'cause the craving of arguing would be so pressing, that a silly and screwy light bulb could not be allowed to get in the way and destroy all the fun!

Hello Sheri... just passing by again. Everything seems so small to read that my eyes hurt!
I liked more the older BC layout. Also, there is too much white... wasn't it blue earlier?
I know I can enlarge, but then I have to scroll horizontally back and forth..
