Something really creepy happened after reading the REQUIRE brochure

    Okay,

    My fiancee's sister was visiting - she was here on business and yes she is a JW. She was talking to me about answering some questions I first posed to her about the cult. She goes in her bag, where I guess she keeps all those tracts, and pull out the "What does God Require of Us" brochure.

    She was trying to prove to me there was no heaven for all believers, but preached this paradise earth stuff to me. I saw the picture the artists had drawn of what this so-called new paradise earth would look like. I felt bad after I asked this question cos she was sooooo embarrassed, but haven't you wondered this to......and that is, why do the people in the pictures have on clothes, and make up, etc. I mean really! If we are going to go back to the way things were in the Garden of Eden before Adam and Eve sinned, why not truly depict this in the pics, man? I wanna be naked! No one will have any knowledge of their nakedness and be ashamed, rightttttt!! HAHAHAHA! You should've been there.

    Anyway, on to the creepy thing that happened. Well, she had me read a few verses from my own bible and then she got frustrated with my questions so she stopped and told us we'd be late shopping at the mall!! Gasp! Imagine that! She abandoned her duty of preaching to me to go shopping. She said she'd met a nice girl at the Hall during her visit (later on that chic!) that she'd like me to continue the brochure with if I was willing. So anyway, I go to take a quick nap before the shopping. About 15 minutes into my nap I hear knocking at my door. I didn't get up cos I was thinking I'd just let her answer. I had no clue who it was as I wasn't expecting anyone either.

    She opens the door and what the f----! It was some freaking JW!!!!! Get this, in all my 31 years of living I neva, EVER, had any witnesses at my door, which she simply COULDN'T BELIEVE!! I just lay in bed, right. I was numb. I immediately thought, why in the hell did she call these people to my house? But then as I lay there I listened. She opens the door and sees them and sees the tracts and its obvious to her they are JW's....so she screams! YOU'RE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES? You're Jehovah's Witnesses!! OMG!! OMG!! Then she precedes to tell them how she just Preached to me moments earlier. At that point, I should have gotten out of bed and pushed her down and said, Yeah, by the way boys she stopped studying with me so we could go shopping!" Can you disfellowship her over that?

    But anyway, when I realized she was shocked by their presence and had obviously not called them over. I was freaked out at the coincidence.

    So naturally, I pretend to be asleep. She's so stupid to think I was....I mean after all that noise she had made, but anyway, she closes the door and calls my name. I ignore her and go on to sleep. I wake up and she's placed these freaking tracts on my bed. I go in the living room and she was SOO EXCITED. She told me about them coming and all. This is when I started feeling really sad for her...tears filled her eyes and she said to me, "Jehovah is calling you! Jehovah is calling you!! He really loves you. If Jehovah loves you then I must love you too" (that part confused me, but what the hell). She furthered stated, "See...and to think, people accuse JW's of not believing in miracles. These are the types of miracles Jehovah performs!!!" I mean she was spazzing out on me. So she calmed down - of courses cos we had to get to the mall - but that caused me pause. I prayed really hard in the shower. For the first time I was thinking, Now waitttttttttt a minute God......Hold on buddy. What just happened here. That was a freaky coincidence.

    Satan is the ruler of darkness and of this world. Can you believe that punk tried to trick me? How creepy was that? I still wouldn't put it past her if she set the whole thing up.......devils!

    It sounds like a set-up. SheShe.

    Either the J.W.'s were setting you up, or they were setting HER up.

    I cracked up when you said, "Jehovah is calling you"...Ha, Ha. Through the Watchtower? Hello? Hello? ...No one there.

    Coincidences happen all of the time. It isn't a sign of divine intervention. But, lots of luck convincing her of that now!

    Swan, you are sooo right! I could never convince her otherwise. Now, we she sees I'm not making any moves towards joining Jehovah's organization, she'll really resent and hate me!!! Especially since Jehovah gave me visual sign and made it sooooo, very plain to me that he is calling! He's calling!! Hello!!!

    Yeah, somebody's calling but it ain't God......and he wants to sift us like wheat!

    Ya sheshe…this is a good example of awesome story telling. You made me laugh at the funny-yet-illogicalness of it and feel for the sister at the same time. For her, this is the stuff that chill-inducing moments at assemblies are made of.

    SheShe, you should definitely do some reading on coincidence, lest you spend your life believing the otherworld is calling because of...well... coincidence. Either that, or Little Toe should return to truth :P~

    No, He didn't. It was your sister who answered the door, not you. You were napping. If it was a sign and it was meant for you, then they should have rung the bell before you went into the bedroom for your nap. If it was a sign, as your sister seems to think, then obviously Jehovah is trying to tell her something!

    Man, I wish that Jehovah loved me as much as he loves you. Maybe you should make a deal and ask him for a couple thousand dollars and you'll read the Knowledge book.

    Jehovah loved me enough to tell my mother to force me to come to the meeting, despite the fact that I was having an athsma attack. Then Jehovah commanded my mother to threaten me with a beating if I didn't get ready.

    At that point, I should have gotten out of bed and pushed her down and said, Yeah, by the way boys she stopped studying with me so we could go shopping!" Can you disfellowship her over that?

    LMAO!!!

    You're absolutely right, Swan. But like you said, God luck convincing her of that. Since she's returned she asked me to email her othe questions I've had. Sooooo, I took her up on that. I asked her about tha 1975 thing.

    I included old artcle references and dates. Guess what, much to my surpirse (and chagrin) she's not responded. Do you think she thinks I'm the devil now and will never speak to me again? Snif, snif. Is everybody SATAN, damn? Stop the madness people! Wake up. That's what I want to scream to her.

    Hopefully her lack of response means she's busy doing research on the info I gave her.
