Follow the Christ
I got a knock on my door yesterday. Fortunately, I had just woken up and was in my underwear so I didn’t answer it. It turned out to be some Jehovah’s Witness’. They left a flyer on my door which I scanned and posted above.
There are a number of things that bother me about this flyer. Like, why is it ‘Follow the Christ?’ His name was Jesus Christ. If I was going to tell someone to say call Jesus Christ I might say ‘Call Jesus…’ or ‘Call Christ and tell him to hurry we got a ton of water here and no wine..’ but not ‘Call the Christ.’ So why should calling be any different than following? I could see ‘Follow Christ’,'Follow Jesus’ or, if they absolutely had to have the the,’Follow the Lord’ or something like that. This utter disregard for the English language already has me skeptical about this religion.
But what really gets me is the drawing of Jesus. Please! That ain’t Jesus! Jesus has long hair. I know I’ve seen lots of other pictures of him.

That’s Kenny Loggins, it should say Follow the Footloose guy. .

That is the clean-cut jesus that is all the new rave with the baby boomers. They want him to look like Elvis and drink Coca-Cola. Pay no attention to him. He’s dead. NOTE: I love how Elvis is worthy of capitalization, not jesus.
I once declined a pamphet like this and to my annoyance, she left it on my doorstep, as if I might accidentaly trip on it, read it and embrace god. What a waste of good lumber.
“Jesus Christ lady!!” I thought to myself and then smiled…

Hey Simon!
I thought of you the other day, googled your name, and came across your site here. Funny, when I first saw the title for this post, I thought “wow, he’s been ‘born again’ and is really spreading the word”. Anyhow, would love to hear from you and catch up a bit. You can send me an email – mailmiked at Yahoo! Dot Com, if you want. Hope to hear from you.

Dude, Jesus has got his shit in a pimp ponytail in this picture. Are you fucking blind?
Hey, I have a ton of water over here and no liquor. Did Jesus have another magic friend that turned water into liquor? Wine is no good to me.
