OK I AM INCREDIBLY FED UP WITH THE INTERNET SO I WILL JUST SUMMARIZE MY ENTIRE ENTRY WHICH JUST GET DELETED, INTO SOMETHING MUCH SHORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why I have these.. not really mood swings, I dont know what to call them, but i chagne my mind a lot. A LOT. So I was all set on going to Germany for the missions trip then Don talked to me about another option he'd like me to think about bcuz of my financial situation. I would be helping him and a youth sponsor doing missions work around here, Toronto I think, instead of Germany and it costs little or nothing. It would get me the expierience I need in missions work, but I really wanted to travel to Germany bcuz it feels more like missionary work. So last night after youth I decided that Don's option would be much better because it's really the experience that i need, and it will help me financially. Plus I probably will be going to Germany when I visit Elise next year. But! Today my mind has gone the other way, thinking well mayne $700 is not that much.... altho it is!!!!! it's SO MUCH! But I thought well if i really want to i can save up. maybe. but ya i just really want to go and i dont know what i should do about this. its very confusing.
My mom's friend's friend Nancy was just over a few minutes ago to visit her husband who is working on our downstairs. Nancy was talking to mom about Susan and a book she is going to read her. I was thinking about the whole door to door thing that Jehovah's Witnesses do, because she was telling my mom about her door to door experiences. Now I'm wondering... why do ppl dislike Jehovah's Witnesses so much? They have a reuptation for being 'annoying ppl who ring ur doorbell bothering u at dinner trying to force their fake religion on you'. From what I've learned from Candis's family, Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians are pretty much the exact same, give or take a few differences like their ideas on blood transfusions, calling him Jehovah instead of God, and not going to Heaven but instead the paradise on earth after we die. Their door to door thing is interesting to hear about, and I actually wouldn't mind doing it sometime. Will someone please tell me why Christian's do not like them? They are no different than Christians really.. we say they changed things about the bible, while they say the same about us. Mom and Susan have compared versions and they are no different. We just interpret it differently somehow. I wonder how many people turn them away in one day of going door to door? And who takes them inside and lets them tell them about God and give them magazines to learn more? Why don't we do this? Are we afraid of getting a bad reputation? Don't give me the exuse that they are forcing religion onto people when they don't want it. Isn't our goal to tell as many people as we can about God so they can be saved? Then tell me why we Christians sit around talking about doing something about it, rather than actually doing it. We should take a leaf out of their books and go out and inform people. How are we supposed to help the world without making an effort? My conclusion: Christians need to witness more.
