Weird Morning
I was awoken by a knock at the door.
Shuffling down in my pyjamas to open it, I was met by a smartly-dressed gentleman clutching a copy of the Watchtower, who asked me if my parents were in.
I responded that "I have no idea, they live in Stockport. I'm 31, and I and my husband own the house, can I help?"
I'm not sure he was prepared for that. I'm pretty sure he then wasn't prepared for my responses when asked if I believe in the bible and God.
The gentleman was, politely, made aware that, because I believe in God, I disagree with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't believe that a loving God would say that 'if your child has haemophilia, you should let them die.' Factor 8, transfusions and medical research are a gift from God, surely! His 144,000 ticket-limit on heaven was covered also, and he had no response. He toddled off, slightly bemused.
I think that either, the local JWs need to train their dudes a little better, or we may be back on the blacklist. It's been at least 5 years since I've seen one. I can't remember what Buxton and Briccy did to the last lot, but they haven't been round in a long time. I have a sneaking suspicion that they both tried to convert them to worshipping the 'immortal emperor, who will guide us in our fight against chaos'.
