Since a little before Easter, there are ladies that are wanting to convert me to be Jehovah Witnesses, and all I wanted to do was have them in for a social cuppa coffee.

Well these folk are really dedicated to their fundamental and pulpit/hierarchy doctrinal stance. Here is an article about the very very fundamental sect:
Quote:
"Knocking is a not-too-subtle argument that the Witnesses represent the "right kind" of fundamentalism." (from the article)
I attended Bible Studies with Witnesses for a couple of years. (about 25 years ago) And I still count several of their number among my friends despite the fact that they never managed to convert me.

My experience leads me to agree with the above quote. Witnesses will talk your ear off but they do not want to force anyone to live by their rules.

And they judge all sinners the same; they seem to truly believe the doctrine that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god. If they are harsher on any one sinner, I would say it is each of them on his or her self.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
