    Can the Watchtower Society begin to match what I have received from Jesus since I left the JW's?"

    Good dialog, it's always good to reason and use questions that make them Think ! You're not beaten

    down or in a hopeless state as we were taught to believe.

    I thought a good answer to" I see you're still alive ?" Actually I'm not just alive, now I'm REALLY alive ,

    life and freedom are a real blessing , I'd encourage you to try sometime !

    What a stupid thing to say to anyone that you may not have seen in quite a while! What is wrong with a simple "hi---how ya DOIN?" instead of something as asinine as that!

    I only hope that I can do and say half of what you managed to say if a JW decides that I am "worthy" of having any conversation with. You handled that very well.

    hugs,

    Honestly, Honesty, your answer was so... honest. Me, I tend to be sarcastic...

    The driver walked over and said, "I see you are still alive."

    Billy: You mean that you can see me? Didn't you hear, I passed away two years ago in a terrible fire. You can see dead people. Please tell everyone I love them. But do it very quickly, you'll be joining us soon, very soon.

    *Or*

    Billy: Yes, and I see that you are somewhat alive.

    *Or*

    Billy: Yes, I'm doing great. Say, it looks like you've put on weight since the accident.
    Dub Dude: Accident? I wasn't in an accident, and I haven't gained weight.
    Billy: Oh, I'd forgotten. I guess you have always looked like that. Don't worry, it's what's on the inside that counts.

    "I see you are still alive."
    "No, I died six months ago - I think you ought to talk to the elders about seeing ghosts."

    "I see you are still alive."
    "Do I know you?"

    "I see you are still alive."
    "yes, and I'll still be alive when you have been bird food for a thousand years."

    "I see you are still alive."
    "Hmmmm, sharp, very sharp."

    "I see you are still alive."
    "Drunk again huh?"

    "I see you are still alive."
    "and your point is?"

    "I see you are still alive."
    "Witty, really witty."

    "I see you are still alive."
    "Nice to see you again, Einstein."

    "Not just alive. Unlike you, I have a life!"

    I'm not good at witty repartee, but I think the smartass JW deserved a little aikido of the mind.

    Good for you Honesty! I am so glad to know you feel that way. Powerful words. I think you just "cast out" your first demon. Demons tremble at the mention of Jesus. See? It's true. (Sometimes demons do not leave the bodies they inhabit; but they will certainly run from you.) W

    I wonder if they ever think that, the more freedom they give people, the more of them are going to want to stay.
