Some people are sooo stupid!! I honestly can't believe my eyes! Today was so ficticious to me... First, my Jehovah Witness ladies came for a visit. We read another chapter out of their book that outlines the bible. I didn't invite them in to read it, 'cause I believe in this religion. I only do it to learn more about different religions, 'cause truth be told, sometimes I feel bad about not being religious. My mom's angelican and my dad's lutheran, but we only went to church on special occasions. It's not that I don't believe in anything, though. I'm spiritual. You obviously can't be spiritual, if you're Jehovah Witness, however... So we discussed how Jesus resurrected Lazarus, and my question was, "If Jehovah Witnesses believe that nothing happens to you when you die, you just become unconscious and don't enter any kind of spiritual realm, then, how could Lazarus have heard Jesus or God, when they prayed for him to come back to life?". And, "If he'd already been dead for four days, his body would've started decomposing, so how could his body have gone back to the state it was in before his death, without him first transitioning from fetus to baby to child to adult?".
And they're all, "'Cause God and Jesus have special powers. They can recreate the body of a person who died, and in order for them to be resurrected, they can't be living in a spiritual realm. Resurrection means that they're brought back to life, so they'd have to be dead". And I said, "The body would have to be dead, but the spirit almost needs to live on, in order to hear that the person ressurecting them wants them to return to the earth. Resurrection could just mean, God or Jesus have the power to start the person's heart back up, couldn't it?". But, apparently, after being dead for four days, Lazarus didn't elaborate on what it's like on the other side, which automatically means there isn't one. "Maybe he kept it to himself" I supplied. They believe what they believe, 'cause it's written in the bible. If it's written in the bible, it must be true and the way God intended it to be. But I argued, "God or Jesus didn't write the bible themselves, though". To which they replied, "No, thirty of his disciples did, but he told them all exactly what to write". "Did he tell them all exactly what to write in person?". "No, he told them what to write in spirit form". "But how can that be, if there's no such thing as life after death?". "Well, God, Jesus and their angels were never human. They were always spirit creatures, so they're the only ones". Buuullshiiit!!
Plus, a couple weeks back, they talked to me about how, mediums aren't actually getting their information from the deceased. They're getting their information from the demons who work for the devil. The devil wants you to doubt God, and he knows everything about everyone that has died, so he just pretends to be the person you want to get in contact with, and that's bad, 'cause it makes you waste your money and gives you false hope or something. Well, sorry, but to me, "The demons are trying to get you to doubt God, and they're pretending to be your dead loved ones, as well" sounds more ficticious to me than someone being able to talk to the dead. And another thing that sounds more far-fetched than being able to talk to the dead is, that a demon possessed the body of a serpent, in order to tell Eve to disobey God and eat fruit from the tree he told her not to eat from.
Another thing that doesn't add up that happened today is, Jenna came over to have me sign a piece of paper, asking the judge to take counseling off the court order. Now, social services must have bugged me for about six months to complete the parenting asessment I recently did finally complete, 'cause they wanted to know what kind of reccomendations would come out of it. And they were hoping to follow through on these reccomendations, too. So was I, after having to get up at seven in the morning, once a week for a consecutive number of months. They almost also convinced me to take time off work for them. But the first thing Jenna said, once she received the report, detailing Sally's reccomendations was, "I'm not going to tell you you can't date". That was one of the reccomendations, though. And the other was counseling, which she's, now, taking off the court order, even though it was never completed! I repeat, some people are sooo stupid!! What the fuck's the matter with this world lately?!
