I Just Got A Call

YIKES! I just got a telephone call from the JW's. Evidently, going door-to-door isn't enough.

I told her she was in a false religion and that she should stop reading the New World Translation and get herself a REAL Bible.

I told her she needs to "Get Right With God".

She hung up on me.

Has anybody else gotten PHONE CALLS from them?

I blocked the number, but evidently this is a new thing.

Saves on Footwear I suppose.

Just say, “How can you be doing this for Jesus over a telephone that is not in the Bible and Jesus never had a phone??”

We have been trying to reach you about your Bible’s extended warranty.

JW, I assume is Jehovah's Witnesses? I talked with them for quite a span of time, they believe in the Bible.

Of course you could mean Justice Warrior's.

Learn to be absolutely clear as to what you are talking about.

I once heard that JWs don't believe in wearing anything you aren't born with, like jewelry. There have been a few times since then that I have been visited by them. When I ask them about it they say yes.

"Okay then!" I exclaim before dropping my pants.

Never fails to scare them off.

Well, sort of. They mostly believe in their own "translation" (one cooked up to back their aberrant theology). Some of the so-called "translators" were forced to admit under penalty of perjury that they had absolutely no qualifications in Biblical Hebrew or Greek.

Indeed.

That’s what I said to the caller.

I always suspected that was the case. Especially the ones labeled "spam caller".

Wow! Imagine that! Pestered by a Jehovah's Witness!

I bet that you are one of a tiny fraction of FReepers who have had that experience!

Like maybe: 99.7% of all FReepers.

Regards,

Their new tactics might mean they don’t keep the list of Do Not Visit this House anymore.

I know we’ve all experienced that.

But the phone was a new thing for me.

They believe in THEIR Bible. They change words.

You need to counter with wanting to talk to her about her trucks extended warranty.

No phone calls. They don’t even come out to the farm anymore.
