No I wasn't asking her out! But her reply made me so very envious. You know my mother always would tell me, "wordly people aren't really happy." As a kid that always bugged me because I figured if people are laughing, smiling, and generally having a good time, they must be happy. As an adult, I realize you can have your fair share of problems, but still be happy. So what my mother was telling me about worldly people not being happy, was bull crap. Granted she's just repeating what her delusional mother force fed her as my grandmother is an old school pioneer. If a JW could be likened to having the durability of a cockroach, those older JWs including my grandmother would have their mascot. Going back to my coworker, after I asked her what her plans were for the weekend, she replied, "Nothing really. Looking forward to sleeping in tommorrow. Screw that alarm clock."
Ohhh do I envy her because at 8am, my alarm clock will ring, and I'll have to get ready for field service. I can't wait to knock on the doors of a bunch of apathetic strangers to offer them the real life. I just don't understand why they don't appreciate the refreshing spiritual gems found only in the Watchtower and Awake magazines. Why don't they get it? I tell ya, some people just don't recognize quality, even if you have to ring on their doorbell at 9:30 in the morning and deliver it to them. To top it off, the literature is free, and they still don't want it!! What is it with people?
