I remember when I first realized that I was "Different" because I was Catholic...

Someone (Jahova Witness?) came to the door and asked me: "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?" (And/or...I don't remember): "If you died today, would you go to Heaven?"

My answer was...

"I'm Catholic".

And the response was: "Yes, but...Repeat the same question(s)"


It was then I realized that those of other religions simply don't consider "Being Catholic" as being enough. I always had.

It probably WASN'T a JW, for THEIR 'jesus' can't save ANYONE!

Me, too. More than enough. We have this discussion with a family member's in-laws. They seem blissfully unaware of the importance of Jesus in our faith. I'm asked if I've accepted Jesus. Of course I have. I remember, as a kid, how my mother would engage the Jehovah's witnesses and Mormons, rushing to get her Bible, lest they get away. I do the same now, and rush to get my Bible. Most leave at that point.

Don't take it personally. JWs do that to everybody.

Ironically, I am told (have no knowledge) that there is some serious theological flaw in what JW believe (possibly rejecting Christ's diety-ness) that makes them not Christians. Don't really know, though.
