Jehovah's Witnesses are getting lazy
As an ex-JW, my husband refuses to open the door when they come knocking. But I just received a phone call from one! I've never been called before.
Anyway, this guy called and introduced himself by name only. Then he asks me if I have ever looked to the bible for hope for the future. I said no, and he said that he'd like to share a passage with me from the book of Soms (sp?), something about inheriting the earth.
Then he asked me if I planned on living on earth in the future.
WTF?
I didn't know what to say, so after a long and awkward moment of silence I said "I intend to live on earth for the rest of my life, actually." lmao. What else to say to something like that?
At which point he said "Exactly!" and then continued on to tell me that I can live on earth after death because of the resurrection hope, or something like that. The term "resurrection hope" is something I"ve heard my inlaws throw around, so at this point I knew he was a JW and I told him that my husband was disfellowshipped (which isn't true, he left before he could be DFd, but being DFd is a bad bad thing and JWs aren't supposed to talk to those who are DFd) so he immediately quit what he was saying and wished me a good day.
LMAO. That one line killed me after I got off the phone... do I hope to live on earth...
