Yeah... as if they care about being hypocrites. Hey we’re religious in this thing and that makes us just fine and dandy to God, so who cares if we’re irreligious in another thing.

God won’t be mocked, however. There has to be skin in the game.

"Their core belief is that they have the right to ring my doorbell and interrupt what I’m doing."

My principled reaction is to meet them fully and visibly armed -- wherever the dog has them cornered. Then I inform that they are trespassing on my land, and that I want nothing to do with their Satanic sect.

The second time I inform them that they are trespassing, and should leave immediately, I warn them that -- if I have to tell them a third time -- they will spend however long it takes the Sheriff to arrive ...face down on the ground.

Fire ants? Not my problem... They better chose their "prone-out" spot with care...

I work with a Witness,real nice lady,not pushy.Over the course of time I've engaged in conversations with her.They believe Jesus is Michael the Angel,deny the Trinity,think that Israel was replaced by the church.She said their Bible was written from the Dead Sea scrolls.I didn't press her on the fact that her cult was formed in the 1870’s and the scrolls were not found until 1948.
I pointed out to her that the founder of her cult,Charles Taze Russell was a York Rite 33rd degree Freemason.She told me that I should believe only their website and not any other information I find on line.
According to her the 144000 Jewish evangelicals,12000 from each tribe in the last days represents the number who will inherit the Kingdom of God.Where they get this,I have no idea as I've tried no longer to engage her in conversation about her cult as it is just to bizarre.
One more thing.She told me everything I believe is Babylonian,ie that Jesus Is God,the covenant with Israel is over despite the many passages where God declares this to be everlasting,forever and ever.She told me her family,who are Christians shun her,which I think is wrong.They should be trying as hard as they can to get her away from this cult.

We stood outside of the mega JW rally in Madison Wis. for many years with signs confronting the JWs as they came and went until they finally moved the rally.
Later my new Pastor said he knew of one of them, who was a friend, that was born again from the rallies. He told him that the Scriptures on the signs of the people picketing outside of the huge rally changed his mind. The Scriptures we used were about Jesus being the great I AM. A really wonderful thing is that he started a group in his town helping people escape the JWs. That was really cool to hear because up until that time we didn’t know our efforts had fruit. The LORD is faithful!

Then he really wasn’t a true JW, just a jerk posing as one for his own benefit..............................

Sounds like a guy I know that would go around to all the Food Banks at the various churches and orgs around town and get free groceries so he could use his own money for beer and cigs..........................
