Had a jw friend of ours in our store this morning. He was complaining because the members of the Chamber of Commerce have prayer said before their business meetings. How JW's NEVER do that!
Business & religion should be kept separate. (Personally, I agree. But I wasn't going to give him that satisfaction).
I countered that when we did business with our elders (land & building sale) - it was all conducted in the Book Study room while the congregation were still in the building. He was there as an elder. He said that wasn't right either.
I said that the Society backed up those elders (he's been removed since then). "And what the Society says is correct, isn't it?"
"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Well, then, mixing religion and business is fine depending upon the religious business meeting" He shut up - finally. Jerk.
Usually, I just think "up yours." (I like the new smilies.........but this is an ol' favorite, eh?)
waiting - in a pissy mood.

a come back I have not had the opportunity to apply to JWs, but to fundys that stopped them dead in their tracks is when they say Jesus died for OUR(or YOURS or MY) sins, I say:
Well maybe he died for yours, but my people came from the Land of Nod. We didn't sin.
It could be easily adapted to JWs --the first time they mention Jehovah or Jesus, you can say:
Oh well that is your god not mine. The Bible was not written for me, my people are the other people from the Land of Nod. We have other gods.

When I was asked when I would return to the meetings I said, "Never."

I had a guy, in his 30's, start acting real stupid when I asked him to take care of something for me. He got real defiant and said, "Make me!" I replied, " Give me three hundred pounds of dog shit and I'll make two of you!" He did what I asked! Maverick
