I went to a different Kingdom Hall meeting. Another bore. Seriously, I don't know how anyone can sit through it. Almost 2 hours of pure boredom. What made it worse is this is another building that has no windows! Not to mention it is a very small building. It felt like being in a prison. (Why don't these Kingdom Halls have windows? I have my theories.) Another thing, the place had a strong smell. I don't know how to describe it but it smells like very old people. I hope that doesn't sound insulting but I don't have any other way to describe the smell.
People there skewed much older than age. People there were very nice and cordial. I didn't get any kind of cult vibes from anyone.
I gave my number to three people! Of course they wanted to do a Bible study. One of the guys there seemed very open minded and we kind of got in a short discussion about the New Testament. I asked him if he knew there are no New Testament Greek manuscripts that have the Tetragrammaton (or Jehovah) and that the New World Translation inserted it in the New Testament which changes its reading. He didn't believe it but then right away he looked it up on his ipad to go to Jw.org where it reads that it was taken out. I said to him it is virtually impossible to take it out because there are multiple authors written at multiple times in multiple places. I also said to him you opening up a can of worms by esssentially saying the manuscripts have been corrupted because then what else was taken out?
Mind you, I was asking these questions in a very non argumentative way. We kept the tone very friendly and he seemed like a very nice guy. I hope we will meet up soon.
Again, I can't emphasize how nice the people are there. They don't seem like mindless, zombie drones. They are very lovable people, just greatly deceived. I have it burning in my heart to tell them the truth about the "truth" and introduce them to the one who calls Himself the truth.
