Think I know the answer just wanna double check. Lets say I use Holy Grail and convert two of the 1/3 Pharisees, who may band to another Pharisee. Now that they are converted, both of them, can they band to each other?

The only way that it's lost in conversion is when they may band to an evil character.

Interesting. Guess my next question is, are Joseph of A, Nicodemous, and Paul (after converted) considered Pharisees? I know Nicodemous and Paul were in the Bible, and I think that I heard Joseph of A was as well somewhere in the Crucifixion story, via the book "24 Hours That Changed The World" I'll look for the reference for him later.

From the REG:

These are considered Pharisees in Redemption®:

•      (Good): Gamaliel (Ap), Nicodemus (Ap), Nicodemus (Di), and Paul (Ap)

•      (Evil): Hard-hearted Religious Leaders (L), Hard-hearted Religious Leaders (UL), Hard-Hearted Religious Leaders (Di), Pharisees (Brown) (Ap), Pharisees (Pink) (Ap), Pharisees (Red) (Ap), Proud Pharisee (TP), Saul (Ap), Stone Throwers (BL), Stone Throwers (BU), Stone Throwers (Di), Stone Throwers (L), Stone Throwers (UL), The Entrapping Pharisees (TP)

Joseph of Arimathea was printed after that list was compiled, so I do not know if there has been any discussion about him yet.

I brought up that possibility for Joseph of Arimathea during testing. The Bible does not offer any strong evidence that he was a pharisee or a sadducee, only that he was part of the ruling council. He's not considered either for Redemption purposes.

What ruling council?

LOL, I read the verse. I meant what is the Ruling Council for? Is it part of the Sanhedrin?

I really don't know much about Jewish history, but is it likely that he was a member of the Sanhedrin without being either a Sadducee, Pharisee, or some other relevant identifier?

If he was on the Ruling Council, then he must at least be a Judge..... 

There were no Essenes or Zealots on the Sanhedren, so he would have had to have been a Pharisee or a Sadducee. However, since there is no indication of which he was, it makes sense to just give him neither.
