Bush and his religion?
"cat daddy" wrote in message ... "Vox Humana" wrote in message ... "escapee" wrote in message ... On Sun, 27 Jun 2004 21:15:53 GMT, "Vox Humana" opined: How do you account for so many denominations each having so large a difference with fellow Christians that they can't abide belonging to the same organization? This is a true statement. I was walking the neighborhood for our bi-annual food drive. I see a man on the block I don't know and walk up to him to hand him the flyer with the info on it. He asks me what church this is with. I say, no church, it's the city food drive for their food pantry. It's all legit. He asks where we "fellowship." That must be a buzz word Christians use for what church you attend. We say, we are Buddhist practitioners, our garden is the church. He then has the audacity to say, and I quote, "So now you know the big lie, would you like to know the truth?" Was that a question or an invitation, I asked. His response was "You are lost and I can save you." I turned away and continued walking. A couple of years ago some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door early on a Saturday morning. The spokesperson of the group asked, "Do you have time to be saved from eternal damnation?" I thought for a minute and replied, "No, I'm too busy today. Maybe some other time." She looked stunned and in a sarcastic tone she said "You're too busy to be saved." I replied, "Yes." She left a Watch Tower and moved on to her next victim. Now when I see them coming (they always come in groups of a couple women and a man. The women always have huge purses.) I put our big male shar pei on the porch and close the door. They have never dared open the gate on the porch. I guess saving people from eternal damnation isn't worth the bother sometimes. The Jehovah's Witnesses on my side of town are only interested in Spanish speaking converts. Whenever they rattle the gate, they always ask if any Spanish speakers are in the house. I always respond, in Spanish, that no Spanish speakers live here. They say thanks and go away. Works every time...... }:-) I don't know why they are so persistent. As I understand it, they believe that only 400,000 people will make it to heaven. Surely all the spots are filled already. |
