That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we’re all sinners – But she means it in a good, non hateful, non anti-Semetic way. ---

She’s now relegated to hawking her books on third-rate cable talk shows when she used to get prime coverage on the morning shows. Just quietly watch her circle the drain. ---

Wow. It’s been 10 years since I’ve heard the term “perfect Jew,” and I never thought that I’d hear it again. I was working at a law firm in Philly, and I got into a conversation about Judaism with one of my co-workers, a Jehovah’s Witness (neither of us was an attorney). What with my sticking out because I wore a kippah (and Black, too, I reckon), I guess she got curious (or something) and asked questions, so I obliged her. Well, she eventually gets around to telling me, “One of our members is a Jew–well, she’s a perfected Jew,” and I’m, like, 😕 . And that’s when she told me what a “perfected” Jew (supposedly) is. (Why she couldn’t just say “Messianic Jew,” I don’t know, unless “Messianic” is verboten to JW’s.) All I could do was muster something along the lines of a non-confrontational “Oh, I see. That’s interesting.” And, really, it wasn’t like it was some great Messianic Jewish plague (“You will be assimilated.”), so I didn’t give much of a fuck. She wasn’t pushy about it (she didn’t even give me a hard time about being gay–not, mind you, that she endorsed it–and she probably got early on that I was highly resistant to proselytization and that the Southern gentility that Mama passed onto me \*does \* have its limits), and she was genuinely nice, so I spared her the potentially brain-exploding stuff about my being not only a practicing, liberal Jew, but also an atheist one. Anyway, I thought the whole “perfected” Jew thing was particular to JW’s. Apparently, it isn’t. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfected-jew/422375.md?page=2)
