Well, the JW's surprised me and came on Friday! I was just heading out the door so it helped make it quick. She asked if I had anything I would like to discuss with them, and I said no, that I didn't think we would see eye to eye. She asked what about, and I said that Jesus is God. Of course JW's admit that He is a god, just not The God. Well, we went round and round (it never got heated, which I was thankful for) and when she said she would like to come back at a better time. I said there was no need. I did say that if anything I said struck a chord with her and she had any questions for me, then she was welcome to come back. She gave me sort of a funny look. They won't be back. After they left, I was looking at a web site that I kinda like and found a great article on talking to JW's!!! It was just what I had need....only a few hours too late.
I went to the farmer's market today for the first time ever! What fun. I went expecting not to buy any produce because I have heard how high the prices are (I rarely buy any fresh produce because it is out of our grocery budget), but oh it was sooo tempting! Fresh corn, peaches, cherries, apricots, wild mushrooms, local honey,... I did pick up a loaf of bread because hubby requested sandiwiches for lunch today and I didn't have anytime to make bread! MMmmm, delicious!!!
My last remaining cucumber plant survived the night!!! However, it did suffer an attack. It wasn't cut off at the base, but rather the top was lobbed off. I will have to dust the WHOLE plant with DE today. Nothing else has suffered but I will DE everything just in case.
Praise the Lord you were able to hold your own while in conversation with the JW, Its great that you told her that you were more than welcome to talk to her if she had any questions. Have a great weekend
The girls are adorable!!! Sorry to hear about the cucumber plants!!! I have a cusion who is a JW, and he and I used to love to talk about it. We nevevr got heated about it, but it was so interesting what they believe and how he got suckered into it. He wanted to belong to something, and this is a small farming community, so instead of a gang, he went for the JW! LOL I still pray for him daily that he will see what the truth really is.
When I was Catholic, I used to keep a rosary by the front door (one of the cheap plastic ones). Whenever a JW came to my door and wanted to leave me a Watchtower, I told them I would take the magazine if they would take the rosary.
:-p
They never took the rosary, I never took the magazine, and the same group would never come back. It would be 6 months to a year between visits... and it was only because the new group hadn't been here before. :-)
We had a visit a few months ago from the JW's. I always think that once you tell someone what church you belong to, that ought to end the discussion. It confuses me that for some, it does not.
