Youth Specialties just posted this video the other day from an event they did for youth workers. Man, it brought back some memories! If you don’t know what a hot seat is, you weren’t in youth group in the 70’s. Basically, it was a stool set up with a push button controller that you could use to zap people in the rear with. Awesome! Granted, as a 35 year old youth pastor, I’m too young to have ever been able to get away with using one of these things in a youth group … but I remember when I was a kid in Dexter, Maine, and my dad used one with the youth group there! Those were the days, when it was expected that every good youth pastor came up with a variety of games that could be played with one of these seats that resulted in blindfolded teens being frequently electrocuted!
Man, I’d love to know if I could get away with using one of these things today …
