Wednesday morning, the doorbell rings right in the middle of my cooking breakfast. I open the door to find two gray-haired men wearing white shirts and ties, trying to hand me the latest copies of the Watchtower and Awake magazines.
This is the actual conversation that followed:
Witness One: Good Morning, we have stopped by your house today to share some good news with you and
Skipper: It is not a good morning and you have some nerve coming to my door!
Witness One: Why is that?
Skipper: Didnt you see Dateline? Your organization allows the exploitation of children and shelters pedophiles!
Witness One: I didnt see the show but I know it is all lies.
Witness Two: This Dateline program is all the work of people who are trying to give Jehovahs Witnesses a bad name. In fact, I personally know one former ex-Jehovahs Witness that wrote a book called, My Thirty Years As a Watchtower Slave. I can assure you that none of these people on Dateline were real Jehovahs Witnesses and they are all apostates.
Skipper: I dont believe you. Further, I watched your Watchtower legal representative get caught in a lie right on camera. On one hand they claim to let child abuse victims go to the police but in reality they say to deal with the matter privately and wait upon Jehovah. I think you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Witness Two takes a printed slip out of the back of his Bible in reference to Dateline. He wants to read it to me.
Skipper: Im sorry to end this conversation here but talking to you is not worth burning my breakfast over. I have no use for your abusive organization and I need to go.
Witness two looks at Witness one and shrugs his shoulders and they both leave.
A few moments later my ex-JW housemate wakes up and asks who was at the door. I said a couple of dubs. She tells me, I want a turn with them. She runs out the door but they jumped in their car and took off. I guess they didnt want to get ate for breakfast!
Im through being nice to dubs who come to my door! Even if Silent Lambs never brought the Watchtowers shameful behavior to public view and if our lives were not so screwed up from our personal dealings with the Borg, I still feel this religion is truly evil.
As the Witnesses engage in repeated and prolonged evangelism, it proves that they place NO value on my beliefs that they dont even acknowledge that there is a value in my beliefs for ME, even if they dont accept those beliefs themselves. In the most fundamental form this demonstrates the grossest disrespect they can show for my beliefs. They have a purposeful and intentional goal of destroying my beliefs and my worldview and replacing them with their own warped cultish version of reality. It really is a form of mental genocide, except that instead of killing people, they are trying to kill the mental world, lifestyle, religion, and personal history of anyone who isnt already infected with their mind virus. It is a truly despicable form of behavior.
Besides that the dipshits made me burn the eggs!
Kind Regards,
Skipper
