    This morning my doorbell rang, and I usually never answer my door unless I know someone is coming, because this is thick JW territory, but I did, and low and behold, its a lone JW. He was working on the construction site across the street and was trying to locate the owners of a cat he kept seeing. He didn't recognize me at first, he was looking at my Halloween decorations, and then back at me like he knew something was off...so finally, he asked my name. I told him and he said "Oh yes, you go to the meetings"...and I replied "I used too". And he got all serious and asked if I had seen the new tract. I tried really hard not to smirk and said "yes, I have seen it. " He said, " Well, the end is near, it says right there in the tract that the end is near" I said "Im sure it does" . He said I needed to get back to the meetings, and I said I don;t think so!!! He said "you know what is right" and I replied " Well I do now, and that isn't it" He repeated "you know what is right "3 times, and I kept replying the same...I was all geared up to get into stuff but I was running late for my DR. appt, so I let it go.

    Who does this guy, who doesn't even know me, hasn't seen me in years, think he is telling me "you know whats right" Jerk I say.

    You ARE right. Pretty nervy of him to be condescending to you. Too bad you didn't have time to get into it with him.

    Yeah, I have a problem with that line too. But they all seem to use it, all the time. They assume we spend all of our time out here feeling terribly guilty, because we "know" we are not we "should" be doing. [sigh]

    :"you know whats right"

    That's a typical wink & a nod nonsubstantive, can't think of anything better to say watchtower drone answer. If only they'd stay away.

    "You know what's right" = "You've got enough background in this cult. Come back for some more Kool-Aid! Please! We need to get the numbers up for our CO!"

    C'mon, a dude brother that carries around a pair of Plyers on his belt,.... is really all there to begin with? Don't think so, and neither are his relatives. You know who I mean.

    Oh gosh... this brought back great memories of my Dad saying to me "You're a smart girl, you' know what's right and will figure it out".

    Yeah... I figured out a lot more than he would have ever dreamed....

    I finally "know what is right" and it ain't the JW's.

    They are so convinced they are right and so easily believe what the fDS tells them despite numerous disappointments from his predictions. But they are the only ones preaching the gospel today, that marks them out as special and also means the end is very near. Try arguing with that, that there are false prophets and teachers in the world.
