My husband came home from the grocery store yesterday (christmas eve). And said he saw a witness couple driving around the parking lot handing out mags from their car window.
I mean how lazy is that? They weren't even getting out of their car. They were just ambushing these poor people as they were trying to put their groceries in their car.
I just thought it was a new low. An easy way to count some more time imo.
No doubt, they felt they were doing these shoppers a favor by reminding them that they were doomed for destruction for participating in the pagan demonized celebration of Christmas.
Here's a cut&paste of a "greeting" by a JW to former members that was seen on alt.religion.jehovahs-witn

Well all you apostates in this newsgroup, I hope you are enjoying your pagan celebration and so you should as I am sure Jehovah is soon coming and like in Noahs day as they where just eating and drinking and then the flood came and swept them all away, so soon Jehovah will sweep away all those who oppose him!
Terry
Can you feel the "love"?? It's just OOZING, isn't it??
Love, Scully
PS: feel free to respond to "Terry Rowden" directly at [email protected] and don't forget to wish him a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Scully..... That's exactly the point! When witnesses talk about or to us, it's always in semi-derogatory terms and they hardly show the love that a true christian ought to show. Now compare this to Ray Franz' disposition in all areas: not once did he vilify any JW's nor did he speak in sarcastic terms, but he was always very mild tempered and brought out the wrongness of what they did without insulting them in the least! Now you tell me who really has the backing of God's spirit and show Christ-like qualities...yes by their fruits you will recognize them!
Scully that quote you posted sure brings back old memories. I used to go out in service with one lady who was much like that. If someone wanted to close a door on us she would make sure she said "you know we're Jehovah Witnesses, right?" She did this so Jehovah would know who to kill.
