Jehovah's Witness Revival

So today I somehow ended up at a Jehovah's Witness Revival. I'm not exactly sure how that happened. I came in with my co-worker and sat down to listen... And I kept thinking, "Why do these people keep talking about Jehovah??" Then I took a look at the program for the 3 day event and saw that it was a regional annual revival of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Lucky me.

The first sermon was about proper use of health care services. I thought, "Wow... that's a sermon that I've never heard before [And I've heard ALOT of sermons]." Something about not taking blood transfusions and blah, blah, blah and I couldn't help but think that in a country where maybe 5% of the population actually has access to health care services, no one should be telling them to be that picky. To be blunt.

I've never heard the word "fornication" used so many times in a 3 hour period. It was one LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG slap-on-the-wrist listing of things that we, as good followers of Jehovah, should not do including chew gum, view pornography (long talk on that one), and [one of the top 6 things that can put you at the risk for "catastrophe"] -- flirt. Flirting is apparently a cardinal sin now. Who would have known? I was really trying not to get too tickled at that one.

HOW DO I END UP IN THESE SITUATIONS?

Stories for my grandkids someday... Giggle, giggle. :)
