Knock Knock

I just got a wake-up call from God.

(Well, it was some of his witnesses actually.)

Three of them buzzed through the intercom. They said they wanted to talk to me about the Bible.

I wasn't really awake enough to teach them anything so I sent them on their way. They left me a leaflet. How nice.


I don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses - most people only see them appearing door-to-door in sitcoms. My understanding is that
a) they believe that only a fixed number of people get into heaven &
b) they encourage you to join their church.
That doesn't make good business sense in my view, increasing the competition.
Imagine you'd invested your whole life to being a good Jehovah's Witness, then at the gates of heaven you were refused entry in favour of someone you'd converted that morning...


My other experience of JWs is in clinical exams. They appear a lot in exams. Usually with very severe blood loss. When JWs appear in an exam, they have usually suffered horrible life-threatening violent trauma.

I assume this is because they often have very strong beliefs which prevent them receiving blood transfusions - so we have to know how to manage them ethically appropriately as well as clinically correctly - thus they make good question-fodder in oral exams.

Either that or they're statistically a very very unlucky bunch of people.


Well, my three seemed nice. Tch, maybe I should've asked them in - would've been nice to find out more.

I just didn't think of it in time. Remember, I had just woken up.
And I wasn't wearing anything.

(Could've been awkward for everyone then...)
