From Jehovah's Witnesses. Very pleasant. Two young women. Both married, but young and attractive. We discussed the bible for 1/2 hour. I pestered them with objections while they led me from verse to verse to verse, oy veh.

I love watching women make that tiny swallow they do when they hear something back they just don't know what to do with as they try to get back on program.

You have to find that amusement where you can in this world.

What do you think of these guys?

I learned some things. They said there are 7' million JWs, and they baptize 300k a year. They do not tithe. They do not do blood plasma. She showed me the verse, I don't remember it. Something about not adding to... The usual goofy stuff. I said, well you don't shake snakes. Oh no. That's from bible material added later and I guess not older, reliable stuff. They are very proud of the bible they use, which I forgot the name of, but she proudly cited its being the answer to a Jeopardy about the bible based on the oldest authenticated something or other. I'm getting it wrong.

We talked about love. They think it will cure all our ills, end wars, end crime. I said love causes problems. It prevents you from seeing clearly. It leads you to do crazy things like import blacks from Haiti and Somalia, which end up in the US raping and committing crime.

I teased them about jesus coming back. I said I've read Watchtowers for years, they're always predicting end times that are never coming. I chided them for not even having the nuts to make a falsifiable prediction, like some of the dispensationalists. They quickly jumped to that verse about how no man can say...ah yeah I know that. They cite all these verses about men being puffed up with pride (with the not-so-subtle insinuation that you are showing pride by not yielding to the authority in their little booky there). But men are always like that! Things are always going to hell. Was there ever a time when they weren't. And the one said, yeah, when I was growing up. It was much better and safer. This is not an old woman, younger than me. I said well yeah, and got back on the racial-political stuff as the reason.

I said I'd been around, knew a lot of jews. And jews are liars. I don't trust any book written by them. I said the scientists have proved that the stories in the old testament are mostly bs, altho a couple real historical figures may be mentioned. But the escape from Egypt is bs. And I mentioned Masada.

I got to test a couple of my lines. After their love lecture, I said, do you know what the opposite of love is? It's not hate. It's not indifference. It's thinking - THOUGHT. Not sold 100% on that myself, but there's something there i can get to. I also tested my favorite reason for not believing jesus existed - because there's no existing examples of his carpentry work. Well, that wasn't his main mission. Well, yeah but he was still a carpenter for some time, right? And when he's saving people, bringing them back from the dead, you're not going to save a table he made? Seems hard to believe, when you think of all the St.-related shit in reliquaries.
