Sucker punched...

I got blindsided by Jehova's Witnesses yesterday...lot's on my mind, the
fence guy was here, my dog in the hospital, Obama train approaching, uh...no
not that one....

...and then before I knew it, just to get rid of the Jehova's Witnesses, I
said ok to a 'prayer meeting' of some sort in my home next
weekend....argghghgh!!!

It's like having to tell the fat girl you don't really want to date
her...but you can't just come out and say it is because she's fat. So, you
make up all these things...and feel devious in so doing. I just couldn't
think fast enough with all these distractions upon me.

I want to support all good Christians, if for nothing else, it gives some
balance to the gangbangers of life. We Christians are fighting a losing
battle these days I'm afraid. Who the hell can go against science and
expect to win? But we do it anyway. Are we stupid? Probably so. But
then, we recognize any hell when we see one too....and there are other
trains bearing down upon us from the pike these days.

Life is short. I think that one we can all agree upon.

Yes, I do but not lies. Two takes:

first: If you find fun in religious discussions, invite them in but DO
NOT let them lead the conversation. Many ways to do this. Your bible
knowledge will come in handy. If at a loss, ask them about the anointed
144,000.

Second: Down and dirty... invite them in, before they get started tell
them that you heard they do not believe Jesus was the son of god but
actually the archangel Michael (which they do) . They will deflect this
by saying that they follow the teachings of the bible. You then insist
that a Christian is one who believes Christ was god and since they do not
they are not Christian. Then close them off to any further discussion.
Castigate them as being instruments of heresy. They will cross you off
their list.

I found talking to them quite interesting actually.
