What do we usually call a person who preaches one thing and practices another?

Hopefully this will not be considered inappropriate:


Subject: My Mommy The Dancer...

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their mothers did for a living.

All the typical answers came up -- teacher, nurse, businesswoman, saleswoman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth. However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his mother, he replied,

"Well my mother's an exotic dancer in a cabaret and takes off all her clothes in front of men and they put money in her underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, she will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your mother?"

"No," the boy said, "She works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

How can one be a Democrat and not know who is in the front of the party.

I don't pay attention to the Dem Party like you do Nathan.

Smile Greatest Of All Time

Can Apostolics be Democrats? Well, let's see; you have Liberal Democrats and Conservative Democrats. Mind you there are also liberal Republicans and Conservative Republicans.

Jesus Christ was a conservative. How was he conservative?

Jesus told the disciples after he fed the 5,000 plus women and children to take up the fragments.
He ran the merchants out of the temple, when they turned it into a market. And said they turned it into a house of thieves.

Jesus Christ was a liberal. How was he liberal?

He placed Adam over all that was in the Garden of Eden.
For God so loved he world that he gave his only begotten Son.
He supplied manna from heaven, so much that they had left overs.
He brought quail in by the thousands.
The widow woman in the book of Kings, kept going to the barrel every day finding a little bit of meal.
When walking with the disciples through the corn fields, Jesus and the disciples picked corn on the Sabbath.
Jesus was teaching at night, which the Scribes, Pharisee's, and Publicans were against.
Jesus fed 5,000
Jesus fed 4,000
Jesus turned water into wine.
Jesus supped with Zacchaeus the "chief among the publicans"
Jesus and the disciples sat and supped with sinners and publicans
Jesus said "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:" No child left behind
The greatest act of liberalism ever was when Jesus Christ was crucified. He was bruised for our iniquities.
Jesus provided health care for all. The first single-payer health care system was established when Christ was whipped. By his stripes we are healed.

All the miracles that Jesus performed were viewed as liberal acts.
Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the GREATEST LIBERAL OF ALL TIME...he is the Rose of Sharon, King of all Kings, the Great I Am, Lion of Judah, Prince of Peace, Alpha & Omega, none other than JESUS CHRIST!

P.S. I didn't even mention the great housing plan. I go to prepare a place for you, seeing as he is rich in houses and land

Just vote the Bible. However, that doesn't leave too many on the ticket.

Cursed be the man who trusteth in the arm of flesh. Dem? Republican? I couldn't vote for Guiliani. Never in my life for Hitlary (my apologies to the poster who coined that name). If we don't vote, we have no right to voice our dissention nor do we uphold the right that our forefathers died to establish.

I must pray for the right decision on that day...then go tell somebody about Jesus.

Cool

Is this a trick question??


My one God Apostolic father worked a union job 30+ years and always voted Democratic.......until the 80's when he voted for Reagan. Father in law, unsaved, but same song second verse, worked a union job 30+ years and always voted Democratic.
When my husband and I voted for the 1st time and voted Republican, we hesitated to admit it to the family.
In our modern era there are still Apostolics working union jobs and voting for the Dems. I know a few

I've voted Republican in 9 Presidential elections. If I didn't think I'd be throwing my vote away I'm starting to lean toward the Libertarian viewpoint. One of my top requirements is a Pres that's fiscally conservative.
