Last week, my daughter asked me how much hair spray is too much (for those of you who don’t know, spiky hair was banned at our district convention).
So, I told her about “Bethel labs”. It is a secret laboratory in Brooklyn where intricate experiments are painstakingly carried out, day and night. Our fearless brothers donate their time and energy to determine the precise amount of hair spray that persons should use. As well, there is a lineup of young men trying on pants several sizes too big, in a selfless effort to determine just how baggy is too baggy.
And of course, shapely sisters are hiking their hems while being observed by a roomful of bethelites attached to erect-o-meters, to determine just how short is too short for a skirt.
Senile men are watching cartoons, violence, and pornography to determine which entertainment is suitable for individual Christian consciences.
Yes, we can all be thankful that our dear brothers are sacrificing themselves to perform these experiments, so that we will not need to run the risk of searing our consciences with our own experience.
My daughter was very impressed.
