I went to my GP today. I go there quite often since he's also my parent's doctor and I bring them to all their appointments.
I take my Dad there at least once a month for blood work since he is on blood thinners, so I'm very familiar with the lady who draws blood.
Today I had to have blood drawn myself, and the lady inquired about my parents. She asked if they had had a nice Christmas. I reminded her that they are JW's (Dad has witnessed to her before). She said "oh, yes, I remember". Then she asked if I was one as well. I told her I was actively one all my life till about a year and a half ago.
She then asked if I was attending a different church. I told her no, that I was "burnt out" on organized religion.
She frowned and shook her head and said : "Oh no!"
I mentioned that one could still be a good person and not go to church.
She then asked if I had read a book called "Nintey Minutes in Heaven". I told her no.
Then she said: "There's a new book out called 'Twenty three Minutes in Hell', I just finished reading it and it was really scary".
I said: "I don't believe in hell". She said: "Well, I do , especially after reading that book"
I told her that if there was a loving god I could not believe he would burn people in hell.
She then said, very sternly: "God gives us every chance we need to accept him, if we don't, there has to be a pit!"
Her next patient walked in the door just at that moment and I told her "good-by".
So, am I overreacting or did this lady send me straight to hell????
What is it with these fundies??? Where do they get off being so judgemental???
I really need to move to Sweden!!!!!!!!!!!
