Mister Rogers did not adequately prepare me for the people in my neighborhood.

Quote from: normal_impaired on March 25, 2010, 06:45:02 PMI had 2 Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door the other day, one of them started going down the normal pre-scripted spiel when I stopped him and asked what church he was from. When he said J/W, I said "Thanks for the offer, but I gave up on playing the lottery, I'd have better chances of being struck by lightning while sitting in my watchtower". He didn't get it at first, but his partner who was with him (who hadn't said a word the entire time) suddenly got a disgusted look on his face, grabbed the guy by the arm and said "it's time to go".For anyone who doesn't get that, the J/Ws believe that Heaven has only a certain number of vacancies, so even if you play your cards right, you still only have a 20% or so chance of actually getting in to heaven. Also, the J/W monthly newsletter is called "The Watchtower". I have heard that too. What of the people that have already died or those yet to live? I think the percentage is smaller. Would they let autistics in?

I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

The 144.000 are the ones who will rule over the others. Government job, while the others live in paradise. There are some more congregations where that is the teaching.

I hope they don't have a Calandale there.
Don't you have a Make My Day Law where you live, so you can shoot them for intrusion?
I have a relative in the US. When he lived in Florida, he said you could shoot people if they had intruded into your apartment or house. That's BRAVE!
