by confusedandalone in

their food comes and they begin to pray.they all join hands and he begins praying out loud.. very loud.. so out of respect my wife and i stop talking... they eat and we eat no biggie.

i think if i were in that situation i would ask to be moved to another table far away from the maniac...."

This would have been best but honestly since my exit from religious insanity I do not mind confrontation. I am a very confrontational person in real life... not like I look for fights but I like the idea of discussion etc... most normal people would probably have taken the safer route LOL

" OK, so explain the symbolism then: "

Also why would he use symbolism and metaphors when he could have just been direct.

Just like the cloudy prophecies and all the other bullcrap that one has to be a detective to figure out.

Does not seem like god wants people to know anything

"Tell me you didn't say the "Penis" thing to this guy!" - I wish I would have thought of that on the spot.

I finished eating for sure... it was good convo after as well

"So if the spirit has nothing better to do than tell him that he'd run into you, that's a pretty pathetic "spirit" that would ignore the suffering and needs of thousands of people in the Phillipines to prioritize some guy in Florida."

Yeah the spirit has time to whisper in their ears about alot of foolishness but won't tell them when his homie Jesus is coming so they stop looking like rubes standing around with their bags packed

"Look feller, its O.K to have a religion, just like its O.K to have a Penis, it is NOT O.K to shove either down other people's throats".

"Y ou didn't start that, and tried to stop it before it got to that point." - His wife was looking at him like she really wanted to convvert me too. I guess since the spirit TOLD him I was gonna be there he should also have been told it was a waste of time

" I can't imagine that happening in the UK."

Coft, Florida is literally one of the most backwards states in the US. It has great weather and alot of nice people, but when it comes to religion it is EVERYWHERE and people will slit your throat over their beliefs

So this morning the wife and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. my lovely sister watched the kids for us last night so we have to pick them up later.
Anyway a few minutes later the family sits at a table next to us. Their food comes and they begin to pray.THey all join hands and he begins praying out loud.. very loud.
So out of respect my wife and I stop talking... they eat and we eat no biggie. ABout 15 minutes into the meal the guy leans over he says, "I see you are a god fearing man!" (This is Florida mind you so add on some nice country accent).

I promptly tried to dispatch this conversation with a small chuckle and proceeded eating. He takes a small bible out his pocket and says he wants to share a scripture with me if I do not mind. I said, "I do mind. No Thanks". He proceeded to say, "The SPIRIT TOLD ME I WOULD RUN INTO YOU TODAY"
At this point I realized it was going to either end very quickly or very badly. It is Sunday morning, there are people going to church. He probably has alot zeal. So once again I said, "I am not really into this right now." He says, "Look at all this food GAHD has provided for us this morning... don't you want to give thanks?"
I stayed silent for about 3 seconds and then I told him I use to attend church heavily for 35 years. I am done with the bible and GOD... he interrupts and says what church did I go to. I told him I use to be a JW. He said he felt bad for me and that the reason that I was not close to GAWD was because I was with a demon-inspired group.(Yes he actually said this)
He offered to pray over me and draw me to the spirit. By this time a few people around were just looking and listening. So I said, "I appreciate the offer but I just am not into the angry and violent bible god." This dude instantly turned into a rabid animal. He said I was speaking of things I did not understand blah blah blah. God is loving and its the DEBIL dat is a LIE!!

I went to my favorite passage Deuteronomy 21:18-21 and asked this whackadoodle so is this the devil telling the israelites to kill their children? Would you like to hit either of your two kids with rocks until they died in front of you? How about all those Canaanites he told the Israelites to kill??? was that the devil? No that was god. God likes to kill people. He says that is from the old testament and that GAWD is not like that today. I said , "ok but It is there in your own bible bro."
He did not like me calling him "bro". He now tells me I am from my father and starts mumbling things. I go back to eating. My wife is laughing. I then realize people for some reason are looking at me like I did something wrong.

So I am wondering is it just wrong to call people out on what they believe even if they try to make you look like a fool first? Is it just wrong not to believe that the bible is wrong?

Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?

by Simon in

when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.

i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.

saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.

" allowed his hair to grow?"

Its common sense... long hair means strong short hair weak... we should hire one barber in all of our kingdom to shave the bastard everyday. Even the pubes

Elders receive a report that I am openly displaying false religious symbol

by confusedandalone in

when you look at the image above what do you see?

a sneaker or an outward display that i am now following after another religious group?.

well yesterday i had a 10 minute conversation with an elder who finally got the balls to call me.

confusedandalone

I have already been shunned by family for months so I am pretty much out of it already.

The big boys just want to make it official in I think the most embarrassing way possible. I however have no shame.

I am aware of what the colors represent my wife is from there after all and we visit alot - the fact is I am not one so why the big deal.

Even it I was why not just leave it alone. These peopel are just so freaking stupid
