Free Speech

I had to share this joke with you guys,
I am not knocking them ether just making a statment that is amusing.


Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses celibrate Halloween?



They don't like people coming to there door and bugging them,


ehhe

:)

HAHAHa Personally I think that it is lame that they go as far as walking door to door asking hey will U join jahova'z witness? Sure I beleave in freedom of speech... but if we are truely free then I should have the right to tell peaple how I feel about them "IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" HEHEHEHEHEH

I had a friend I went to school with who was a Jehovah's Witness, we took driver's ed at the same time, so I was in the car with him for 8 hours a day for a week, the topic of religion came up many times.

I grew up in the country, so we didn't have door-to-door people that often, if at all. He did, however give me a handbook on all of their beliefs. It's one of the books that they carry around when they come to your door. It's really quite interesting. It shows you how to work the people who give you the answer no...and to keep trying with snappy comebacks. It has all their answers for everything...

that sounds like a failproof plan to be annoying.

I have a buddy that has a Jehova's witness for a Mom. He has never celebrated christmas or his birthday in his life. WTF kinda **** is that. Thats a religion completely controlling your damned life.

Here is a really good way to get rid of them for good. I heard this from a college professor, and I have never seen it fail. One thing that bothers them is to be proven wrong from their "own bible", which by the way has been rewritten about 7 times in the last 50 yrs. Yes, somebody found a mistake and went back and corrected it. LOL For those of you who love logic, you will love this one :) This is proving their foundational believe that Jesus is not the same person as God the Father. hehe...this is fun to watch them squirm on this one...LOL...

1st, make sure they are using their bible. They won't accept any other translation.
2nd, ask them that if it can be demonstrated from their translation that there are 3 persons, each calld [Jehovah] God, and that there is only 1 [jehovah] God, then the 3 persons must be the ONE [Jehovah] God. hehe...most witnesses will run at this, but if they do stay on, then they will definitely run after you are done with this argument..lol

reference #1: 2 Peter 1:17 - Proves that the Father = God = Jehovah (Kurias) in the original greek)
reference #2: Revelations 1:8 - calls Jehovah (the witnesses' name for the Father) THE Almighty, THE Alpha, THE Omega, THE Beginning, and THE End (the word THE is very very important as it shows there is only ONE)
reference #3: Isaiah 44:6 - Lord (they will say that this is Jehovah) is the first and the last (therefore, the ONLY Jehovah God)
Reference #4 : Revelations 22:7, 12, and 13 - "I come quickly" - (This refers to Jehovah, they will say who is also the 1st and the last per Rev 1:8)
Reference #5: Revelation 22:16,20 - Jesus is identified as coming quickly in this passage, therefore, Jesus is the first and the last, and therefore must be equal to Jehovah God
Reference #6: Acts 5:3 and 4 - This passage deals with a human lying to the HOLY SPIRIT. Now, you cannot lie to an inanimate object, so the HOLY SPIRIT must be a person. The original greek used for the HOLY SPIRIT is the same one for Jehova (kurios) Therefore, if you combine all these facts, there are 3 separate people, who are the same. (The witnesses will tell you that the HOLY SPIRIT is not a person, that Jesus is not jehovah, and that Satan is Jesus' brother) This defeats their argument from THEIR OWN SCRIPTURES. If they are still with you at this point, then they will definitely be begging your leave to go "Consult with the elders" hehe....ENJOY I hope this helps (BTW, im not an evil person. But, it is nice to see someone squirm uncomfortably as they make you feel when they come around) :)

Ok, first... as to the Necromicon comes in two editions. One is based on Lovecrafts work, being completely fake, and not based on modern or past sorcery in anyway. While the second edition is a guide to Sumerian - Babylonian Magickal practices. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Part...203/Necro1.htm

Secondly, I believe that it is in the Jehovah's Witness scriptures that you MUST evangelize. Im not positive, but something that I remember from an essay by an ex-witness.

Thirdly, I greatly dislike Jehovah's Witness' in my area, a small group decided to come to my house and told my 9 yr. old sister that they were from Her church. They gave her literature for her to study, for the church she was attending. (She's a baptist)No one caught on until my sister was reading an excerpt from the literature aloud and my mom overheard and examined it further. Apparently these people had lied to my sister in order to get her to read their religious dogma.

Finally, an interesting method to shooing away evangelistic people who are trying to get you to change your religious choice can be found here: http://www.paganlibrary.com/fundies/other_people.php

But be warned as it has many references towards pagan culture, but explains in a simple story type scene an effective way to show that according to the bible that there were other gods, and other people before Adam/Eve.

I love arguing religion with the door-to-door ministers. Let no one ever forget - least of all a local district council - the value of religious tolerance - in any context. My own views on the subject of religious tolerance are discussed here under articles.

But these little visits can provide hours of intellectual debate, and I happen to like that kind of thing ;).

The training of these ministers tends to be similar to that of Pendle sales in that it's a controlled sell. So what do I mean by that?

Take the example of a car salesman. A inexperienced car salesman will ask: "Can I help you?". This allows the customer to say: "No, I'm just browsing". An experienced car salesman will ask: "Are you looking for petrol or deisel?" because you can't answer "No". As soon as you answer petrol or deisel you are under control - you are following the salesmans track. Nine times out of ten you will leave the dealership with a new vehicle.

Most door-to-door ministers use this type of pre-scripted question with a predictable answer set. This way they can model the entire conversation by controling your responses. If you are aware of this fact however and have both a reasonable mind and clear understanding of one's own personal beliefs you can have hours of fun with these visits.

Here's a fine monkey wrench for the argumentative spokes of any door-to-door minister:
"Hast thou faith? Have it to thine self before God."

Ok - it's a bit mean - but usually that will bring them off track enough to have a real conversation about religion, rather than the rather bland conversation they thought they were about to have. But if someone has the right to come to my home to tell me about their religion then I have the right to tell them about mine.

And as a firm believer in religious tolerance I am an advocate of both of those rights.

ntsa, I agree with what you say about religious tolerance. Even though I may not like what a person believe in, In fact, i may think they are plain wrong, I will still not tell them they can't believe it. That is why america was founded in the first place, right? Freedom of Religion?
