  How to stay safe in the world today:

  1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all
  fatal accidents.

  2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

  3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur
  to pedestrians.

  4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents
  involve these forms of transportation.

  5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. Above all
  else, avoid hospitals.

  You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship
  services, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders.
  Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given
  point in time is at the Kingdom Hall.

  Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even
  less.

  FOR SAFETY'S SAKE - Attend the meetings and read your Bible . IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

  LOL.

  Life is dangerous. So what do you do? Can't just hide in the house, it's too dangerous!!

  Even JW's are not immune. I think they have to use automobiles, sidewalks, transportation and yes even hospitals. But they "don't use the world to the full", so I guess somehow they're better off.

  Parliament-

  LOL

  I personally think that reading the Bible would cause me to die from boredom or laughing. Is that possible?

  FOR SAFETY'S SAKE - Attend the meetings

  But what if I needed to use an car to get to the meetings? Hmm

  You wouldn't actually live any longer but it would feel like you did.

  I would respond to their letter.

  I would tell them:

  I cannot walk to the Kingdom Hall, because as your email suggests, it is too dangerous. I cannot ride a bike, because that would involve me riding on sidewalks as a pedestrian and it is too dangerous according to your data. I also cannot drive or ride in someone's automobile either, because as your email brings out, it is too dangerous too. Looks like I have no way to get there safely. Besides, even if I did, (insert copy of Dateline program or BBC Panorama) how many pedophiles are lurking within these walls waiting to prey on children? Whoops. Looks like it isn't safe inside the Kimgdumb Hall after all. Remove me from your email list. I do not have time for such garbage.
