Let's have a game for fun

[Naomi4Christ]

OK, who is up for it?

Here's what to do:

As a question about any aspect of the Christian faith - bits of the bible, famous Christians, places etc. - anything as long as it can be reasonably found on the internet using a search engine.

When you post the right answer, ask the next question.

[Naomi4Christ]

I'll go first:

Who was a deep-frozen product of the church reticent wing of the Anglican church and why is he famous?

[marciebaby]

Haha, wish I could play, my sick baby just woke up...

[higgs2]

I'll go first:

Who was a deep-frozen product of the church reticent wing of the Anglican church and why is he famous?
huh?

[Naomi4Christ]

huh?

Figure out the answer (with the help of Google), report back and then ask your own question.

[TomUK]

Is it Jonathon Aitken?

[Naomi4Christ]

Yes!

[higgs2]

What about "and why is he famous?"

[TomUK]

OK, let me do some rooting around and i'll get another

[TomUK]

OK, under stern Puritan rules why were individuals not allowed to hunt?

[Naomi4Christ]

OK, under stern Puritan rules why were individuals not allowed to hunt?

Hunting was considered a sport - for individual pleasure?

[TomUK]

Not the answer i found, but then i think i might have made it difficult.

[Naomi4Christ]

Not the answer i found, but then i think i might have made it difficult.

Yes, you did! I found lots of references to witch-hunting and a couple about a ban on Sunday hunting.

[DarthDigger]

[marciebaby]

3 stones I think.

[marciebaby]

Ack. I looked it up... It was 5 stones.

[marciebaby]

[higgs2]

Oprah Winfrey! Her name is a misspelling of the biblical name "Orpah". (No idea who Orpah is btw.) http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/W/htmlW/winfreyopra/winfreyopra.htm

[Naomi4Christ]

Your question, Higgs :)

[higgs2]

Okay, gimme a minute, I need to do a bit of research :)

[higgs2]

Okay!

What was the role of the "Tithingman" during Puritan sermons?

[Naomi4Christ]

He was the babysitter :)

[higgs2]

He was the babysitter :)

LOL! Pretty close ^_^ I think I need to share some of his techniquest with our nursery attendant at church (not :D)

Your question.

[Naomi4Christ]

What is the admission fee for tourists to Westminster Abbey?

[contriteheart]

10 pounds for adults.

What were the rather curious names of Praise-God Barebone's two brothers?

-Grace

-Grace

^_^
Well, apparently, brother was named "Christ-Came-Into-The-World-To-Save Barebones." The other was "If-Christ-Had-Not-Died-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebones." Supposedly the latter's friends simply referred to him as "Damned Barebones". ^_^

I think I'd have to pick Praise-God out of the three :sorry:

[higgs2]

What song is the original tune for "Lord of the Dance", and in what sect did it originate? :)

[higgs2]

This shouldn't be too hard :)

[Colabomb]

Tis a gift... to be simple... tis a gift, to be free......

Mennonite or Amish?

(Puts on metallica to atone)

Good Job!

Your Question, Cola!

[Colabomb]

give me a minute to work something up

[Colabomb]

Here's an easy one.

Who was one of the greatest Anglican Theologians of the Twentieth century.. who did not consider himself a theologian?

[gtsecc]

Lewis


Yup, your turn.

Yeah, I had heard about the one going by "Damned Barebones."

I wonder what the other went by! I can't quite picture his mother yelling "Christ-Came-Into-The-World-To-Save, you get your rear end into this kitchen right now!"^_^

Heck, they couldn't even go by their initials. I mean, come on, "Hi, I'm CCITWTS Barebones! What's your name?" I just don't see it.

Also, how did these guys ever fill out forms?

-Grace

[higgs2]

So, it's Gtsecc's turn but he's away for the weekend. Should we wait til he gets back, or would someone like to go ahead and post a question?

[No Swansong]

Why don't we go ahead with the understanding that when he gets back he has a free in?

Cola was last with a correct answer. Ask another son if everyone agrees.

[higgs2]

Okay, gtsecc, it's your turn since you're back now! What's your question?

[gtsecc]

How can you tell the difference between Angels, Fairies, and Demons, simply from their appearance?
