Dearest Pontius would be cool.I've always suspected he wanted to be a waiter you know. I think it's all that washing of the hands before serving... Salome?
Would that be with or without the seven veils?
Check what's in that silver platter - might it be a head of a garlic perhaps? Isis, I'm a wonderin' if God eats veggie or not? Is he right or left handed? Jesus could sit to his right and I could sit to his left I suppose. Just a little suggestion for seating arrangements in case you get stuck. I guess the dinner party would have to be held on the seventh day cause that's the only time he rests. He just can't seem to create enough staff these days, works all the hours he sends.  Oh yes, I could just imagine God saying, " Let there be dessert" : and behold, there was and it was plentiful on the table, and God saw that it was good, and he said, "Let it be divided" and behold, it was. Afterwards he saw that cake had creepeth up around the firmament of his creation, he saw that the cake had dominion over his
creatures multiplying them. God said, "Let us all be skinny" and behold, we were...  I'm sorry. *laughing of her chair* I do hope this causes no offense it's just a bit of a giggle that's all.  Gia
I'm sad to see that not so many females have been invited. Is that due to the fact they are all slaving away in the kitchen I wonder, or just huddling in the loo?
Anyone? Gia IP: Logged |

I invited 3 women to my party...I chose Pontius Pilate because I would like to know how he REALLY felt about Jesus and handing him over to the Jews. And then I would like to change time and save him from suicide...I feel he carried a guilt that he should not have harbored, for destiny was being fulfilled in Jesus' death. Although history will tell you that Pilate committed suicide because he was banished to an island and the only graceful way to accept banishment is through suicide...but I still feel strongly that Jesus and his death followed Pilate for the rest of his life...I don't know why I feel this way about him, but I do...

Eddie Izzard would be on my list of people who aren't historical.  History was one of my top subjects in school, but I had hard time coming up with a list. Lucy Burns, Emmeline Pankhurst, or Alice Paul
Abraham Lincoln
Agatha Christie
Edgar Cayce
Rudyard Kipling
Corrie Ten Boom
Katherine Hepburn
Anne Boleyn (with her head of course) Two more possibilities ~ Arthur Conan Doyle, and Benjamin Briggs, captain of the Marie Celeste (to find out what happened to everybody on board). Oh, and Roald Dahl too! His name was on the tip of my mind earlier, and just came to me. James Herriot and his wife ~ It could be interesting to have Henry VIII meet Lucy Burns, but that wouldn't make for a very congenial dinner party. Angela

Father Flanagan was a Catholic priest in Omaha Nebraska, and became guardian of 3 orphan boys in 1917. This was the beginning of what is today known as "Boys Town" He believed there was no such thing as a bad boy.IP: Logged |

I have always heard people say they would like to invite these great wise people to dinner. So, now that you have the guest list made out, and these noble people are sitting a-round your tables and they turn to you and ask why you have invited them what would you say to them? What questions would you have for these people? I for one would be awe struck and tongue tied. Peace. Sue

Gia,
You've been planning this thing too long. We aren't coming. It was to be held at your place wasn't it? Seabiscuit and Mr. Ed have been chomping at the bit and I can't take it any more. IP: Logged |

Appropriate choice for Jesus to be invited to the many's dinner party...
If ya run out of food and beverages he could multiply the fishes and loaves...and change the water into wine.
Fish, bread, and wine--simple menu and so easy on all of those beards.

Yeah I guess he'd give us Holy Communion whilst he was at it too!I went back for Holy Communion seconds once. It was only to prove the point that there was no running out when it came to the Lord.... Father David was none too amused. Could hardly refuse me though could he? Gia IP: Logged |
