So here I sat eating my father's day brunch and the knock at the door startled me. I peaked and it was a man and teenaged boy in suits. It was already like NINETY degrees outside and they had on suit jackets....JWs. So I opened the door and they started in about how they were in the neighborhood discussing bible topics with their neighbors. I was ready for them! LOL They asked if I would agree that the news is full of reports of wars and violence, crimes and awful conditions and I said that it was very true. The older guy went on to say that what the news reports is definitive proof that we are in the end times. I asked why and he went through Matthew Chapter 24 and what Jesus confirmed would be SIGNS to look for.
I agreed that the news reports were certainly in line with Jesus' words. Then I asked what they thought about the news about the WT losing a lawsuit brought by a woman that had been molested as a child by a jw. They said they had not heard about that. I said, that oh yes, it's been on CNN and in the newspapers. Right here in California. The guy said that it was probably just a rumor going around that got out of hand. I said, no it was a court judgment and a report was made. He said that the media is not always reliable and that the wt would never lose such a case since they are Jah's org. So i went there... I said, so as long as the news reports what Jesus said would be reported you are happy to come to my door but when your org is busted and made to pay for their crimes it's a rumor.
He said that maybe it was true, maybe not, but that Jah only has imperfect people to work with and that the congregation would have wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. So i said, that I had no idea if he was a wolf or a sheep so he better go. I then told the boy to be careful.
I hope I may have reached the kid at least.
