I'm not sure. It saddens me that people question the Society in any fashion.
I remember when John Denver was boooed off the stage of the Johnny Carson show.
He had made an insult about our Superlative Creator's people, and Johnny set him straight; oh my how he set him straight.
Johnny said, and I'm quoting here, "I'm sorry Mr. Denver, but i'm going to have to ask you to leave. You see, I have workers on my staff here at the studio, and at my home who are proud Jehovahs Witnesses, and I am proud to have these ones in my employ, for they conduct themselves in a morally exemplary manner. I resent you making statements of a derogatory nature in regard to these fine people.
Before taking your leave from my television program, I would ask that you take this fine book with you...and read it in its entirety". Johnny then handed the hateful Mr. Denver the "Truth that leads to Eternal life" book. He continued "Now.. GET OUT OF HERE THIS INSTANT".
One person from the audience clapped...then another..then another..until the enitre audience was clapping in unison as a bewildered John Denver looked around the studio in amazement...and shame. Johnny yelled once again "Now GIT!!!"
When Mr. Carson invited John Denver back the next year, he asked Mr. Denver to sing a song. Mr. Denver pulled out his guitar and started plucking the strings in an attempt to play "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", but the guitar refused to comply. The only chords that would come out was the beginning stanza of "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize". Frustrated, Mr. Denver threw the guitar down and ran..with tears in his eyes and sobbing uncontrollably, off the stage.
Again, the audience rose as one and cheered.
Although Mr. Carson never took the truth and got baptized, and will not be resurrected for his failure to do so, it was fun to see him give John Denver his just due.
Yes. What joy.
Yip, yip, skippidee doo.
