WWJD

[Peter da Silva]

The first time I saw a WWJD bracelet was at a craft store that was, at the
time, done up in totally insincere and entrepreneurial Christmas Decorations
somewhere between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I picked this up, while
standing in line, and asked the checker "WWJD, what does that mean?"...

This very nice obviously sincere elderly lady explained. I was speechless.
There is no way I could say what was on my mind, which was that if Jesus
was there, then, in that place and time, he'd make the "moneylenders in
the temple" act seem like Steve Wright warming up for Weird Al Yankovic.

Or there's always the DFC: "...except that when Bil thought 'What Would
Jesus Do,' he used Jesus, the Hispanic ex-con who worked at the local gas
station..."

Mmm. Maybe you could turn it into 'What Would JHWH do?'

This would usually give an answer like 'wipe the sinners out',
'kill everyone', or 'turn them into pillars of salt'.

This story is re-told in each of the first four books in the New
Testament. I've been to at least two Catholic churches that had gift
shops in the lobby. If I'd gone in and mentioned, for example, Mark
2:13-16, I would have been told, very firmly, "It's for the Church."
