My ex-wife is a Jehovah Witness. I have never seen her so excited. During the 4th of July holiday, thousands of people in her faith will come to husky stadium in Seattle for
an international convention. The University of Washington plays football there and I'm
sure God(Jehovah) will bless this stadium.
The convention will cost her $10 a day. I assured her she could have the money. She wanted me to come with her but I can't see myself sitting in church for 3 days listening
to how great 'paradise' is going to be when God(Jehovah) comes down to earth to get
the Devil out of this world. Then it's paradise time.
Were you planning on going to Heaven? You better REALLY be somebody. Only 144,000
people will be in Heaven running things. The 144,000 will be picked from EVERYONE
who has ever lived on this planet. My ex knows a few people who are going. I asked
'how do they know? They just do, I was told.
Everyone who has ever lived on this planet, will be brought back to life. How about the
bad folks like Hitler? I can assure you HE will be left off the list. It's unclear about
folks like me. I have been a bad boy in my life. Oh, I didn't kill anyone or rob a bank
but still, I have celebrated a person's birthday and enjoyed Christmas. I never
could figure out why God (Jehovah) will be upset if you celebrate your child's birthday.
Halloween is silly, but kids seem to enjoy it. All holiday's are forbidden unless it's
your anniversary. Once a year around Passover time, they do celebrate his coming back to life.
Every person has a right to believe in any religion. I have met many folks in the witness
religion. They are all really nice folks.
I am told they are now the ONLY church that goes to your door to preach to you.
I had several lessons from elders in her church because I want to know something
about a subject I'm arguing about. I was told I am to 'hung up on death.' Everyone
killed in war will be brought back to life and swear he or she is with God (Jehovah) all the way.
You need to stop voting now. You have already voted for God. That's all you need.
Are you a policeman or police woman? You can come to church but never become an
elder. You have a gun, you could KILL someone!
Pray you will never need a blood transfusion. It's said in their bible blood is not to be used.
When I began leaning about this religion, they claimed if you were alive in 1914,you
would be alive to see the 2nd coming. They have revised his return to saying soon.
If you know who can solve ALL of our problems, I always say can he come next Tuesday? I get frowns when I say that. If I would just JOIN them, I should be fine,
I can't become a witness, my God can't be that mean to be against celebrating a birthday or Thanksgiving. My biggest argument is IF he is coming soon to this Earth
to fix all our problems, where is he? If one person can be saved from a cruel death in
war or sickness. I would be happy to stay dead. If I got to talk to God, I would ask ,
'what took you so long to come and end evil?'
