I read about that. At some shopping mall with Elvis, right?
Some sort of traffic accident.

Jesus is returning in the next ten years
I had to read up on Jim Bakker on RationalWiki for an update.
Apparently, Bakker now claims that:
• God was angry about a US presidential eulogy at a funeral of a former Israeli prime minister that Bakker
did not fully approve of. So God sent a hurricane that killed random people—mostly in Haiti—as punishment,
• Some of those who oppose Donald Trump are demon possessed and have demons coming out of their eyes,
• A suicide bombing in Manchester, England killed 22 and injured 59, some seriously, whereby he claims the
victims brought it on themselves because they attended the concert where the bombing happened and the
title, "Dangerous Women Tour" somehow mocked God. Victims included children,
• If Donald Trump is impeached from office, Christians will rise up and start a civil war. He's also claimed that
the Trump presidency is God testing Christians' faith because it is.
Anyway... if Jesus is returning within the next ten years, I'd better return my 4-year-overdue library books,
and pay a 2017 parking fine. You can't afford to take too many risks with JC on your tail!

Jesus better get his ass back before 10 years.
Since he's been the foreman of my ma's ranch operation for years, he and his wife Esperanza are our second set of parents.

Is that possibly pronounced "Hey-soos"?
I've often wondered if literalists ever get bent out of shape when they are told "Jesus" is a latin name .That his parents and friends would probably have called him "Yeshua " or "Yoshua", or perhaps "God"
-and let's not forget Yeshua's most likely appearance --he probably looked a lot more like Hey soos than a 6 foot, blonde haired, blue eyed caucasian.
Umm do ya think he's been hiding at your folk's ranch?

I doubt that the parents called a "ne'er do well" who instead of getting a job told them "I think I'll become a wandering preacher / moocher" and see what trouble I can get myself into" ... "god".

Among devout Jews ,a rabbi was and remains an honourable calling. A bit like [some] Catholic Parents when their children wanted to become priests or nuns.
Not MY mum. At one time I wanted to become a Jesuit .I thought the costume was really cool. I told mum. She said "That's nice darling. Of course you may become a Jesuit. Right after you have finished school and have worked for two years "
I went away and had a bit of a think about that. While I was thinking, I realised Jesuits are priests and priests are CELIBATE! I decided I didn't really want to be a Jesuit after all
OT; In recent years I discovered that with one exception, all of the brothers who had brutalised me had left the order and married. My favourite, who never hit me once in seven years, ran off with the librarian. I was so impressed.

The life-paths of rabbis was highly structured and pretty much set in stone. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9351/b6...098dd7.pdf
The fact that Jesus was never said to be married is very troubling, because there was only one rabbi in that period who was not married, and they talked about it a lot. They never said anything about Yehua ben Joseph either being a rabbi, nor are there comments on his non-married state, which one would expect in Judaism. It was Jewish LAW that males marry and produce offspring. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/celibacy
I don't think the celibacy requirement stopped many of the Jesuits.

That's because nobody around here gives one shit about a musty 2000 year old fictional character so we wander off topic and discuss Susan Sarandon. Why the heck not? She's a smart gal and a fine actress.

Joke's on Jimmy. Jesus returned on August 8th, 1998. I found him in a puddle of his own bodily fluids. Cleaned him up, gave him a job. Believe it or not, Jesus is the sole employee of my flourishing catering business.

Indeed; 'Thelma and Louise,' 'Dead Man Walking', 'Bull Durham',.My favourite is still Janet in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. I found 'Pretty Baby' a bit disturbing. It sails pretty close to child pornography imo. Of course Susan Sarandon makes a very fetching hooker.

As I recall, Jesus has returned and has been living in South Park, Colorado for well over a decade.
“I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (Etienne De Grellet)
