Some of you have read my recent thread on my grandmothers funeral (its here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/90767/1.ashx ) and about how I had become even more turned off of fundie Christian religions because of it. Well, there's been an interesting development.
While I was in Newfoundland I had many discussions with people in my little home village about how fundamentally messed up the JW's are. I wasn't trying to incite any hate against the dubs or anything, just explaining how they are misguided by thier leaders because of the 144,000 doctrine. Everyone was pretty interested and asking a lot of questions.
Well it turns out that I have rekindled the love of Jesus in a lot of the town's folk. All I did was talk about how the dubs were wrong, but they all defaulted to 'then the Christians are right' mode. They changed the topic whenever I had brought up how being Christian just doesn't make sense. Even the preacher said that I am "going to help bring the people back to Christ." Me! LOL.
Oh my dear God, what have I done. Now there are over 15 people getting 'saved' at their local church this coming Sunday.
