Pentecostals and Pedestrians

The traffic light wasn't working at the corner, so a lady stood with
a large crowd of people waiting to cross, while a cop directed traffic.
Finally, the cop blew his whistle and stopped the eastbound traffic,
motioned to the crowd, and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians!" The crowd
surged across the intersection -- all except the lady, who stayed on the
corner. When the walkers were safely on the other side of the street,
the cop moved the cross-traffic through the intersection. Half a minute
later, he stopped the cars westbound traffic, and sent the eastbound
traffic into motion. Again, he got around to the lady's corner; where by this
time a crowd of people had again joined her. Tweeeeeeeet! "Okay,
pedestrians!" The crowd crossed the street, but again the lady stayed put.
She looked at her watch and tapped her foot as if she was in a hurry to
get somewhere, but never budged from the sidewalk. The cop ran the
traffic through seven more cycles, each time blowing his whistle and
then yelling "Okay, pedestrians!" the Lady never moved. Finally, after the
cop yelled "Okay, pedestrians!" for the eighth time, The woman shouted across
traffic, "Hey! Officer! Isn't it about time you let us Pentecostals cross?"
