Should I be publicly stoned?

Question

I had a Jehovah witness at my door the other day and when she started preaching to me I politely told her that I am Wiccan, she told me I should be publicly stoned. Well when I replied that I normally don't do that sort of thing but if she had joint on her I would gladly oblige she got extremely offended. So my question is if I don't get all pissed off for being called a devil worshiping heathen, then why should she get tiffed because I replied to her with a slightly smart *** answer. Just felt like sharing tonight...easy 2 points.

anytime mizmead...lol

Answer 1

No, no, the proper way to dispose of us pagans is to feed us to lions! I mean, jeez, any Christian worth their salt knows that! :) Otherwise, it's just not funny.

Girl, that's hilarious! Definitely irritating, but you sure got the best of her. Trust me, it'll be funny later. ;)

My best childhood friend is a Jehovah's Witness. (I'm gonna have to send this to her! :) I've found them to be quite accepting, in general. Some people are just jerks, though.

Answer 2

More examples of the love of Jehovah and company - wow

Try telling them your trying to get the bible banned as hate litrature and out law the sale of them etc

It is said that Chrisitanity is a religion of peace and tolerance - I think that what you saw was an extreme example of what is in the back of every Christians head - it is just most know better than to say it out loud -

On the other hand at least the person at your door was on no way trying to misrepresent the bible - She is quite right in that - is consistant with biblical teaching

To understand the mond set of the Christian look into the past - Witch trials - the Spainish inquisition the Purtianicals the war over the Reformation - all signatures of what it is and has come from

The ancient celtic people had a nice little peace full religion of earth worship that leant twords a matriachal society -

Boutica a female General was loved and accepted - Chritianity looked down on this - Her name is almost non existant in the history books -

Priests out lawed mid wives - it is estimated we lost 200 yrs of knowledge and the cost to human life was massive death


It is not a "nice" religion it is one of domination and governemnt -

It may be better than others but compareing the lesser of evils is not looking for the "good" -

Answer 3

Too funny! And I hope you're not really feeling bad.

Besides the story of my "ex" ( a very mild-mannered, sweet, never-say-a-bad-thing guy) losing it and chasing a JW off the porch because she had the nerve to knock and ring incessently on CHRISTMAS morning, this is my favorite JW story:

A fella I was dating brought an Englishman he'd met at the student center to my house one day. The English guy ended up crashing at my place for a few weeks, (It was the hippie days, and that was a pretty "safe" thing to do in those days...)

One day my boyfriend, the English fella and I were sitting around listening to music, when there was a knock on the door. It was a JW, and I was in the process of telling her that I am Catholic and she could take her phony man-made religion and.......when Ro-Ja (the Englishman) said, "Let her in. I'd like to talk to her. This will be fun."

So, I did let her in and the four of us "discussed" religion for a while. Ro-Ja was really into it, but my guy and I got really bored, really quickly. So, we told them we were going to make some coffee, and we ditched out the back door. Giggling and laughing, we ran down the street to the nearest payphone, and called Ro-Ja. We told him we had a joint and that he was missing out, but if he got rid of the JW in the next two minutes, we'd come back and share.

We hid behind a bush a few doors from my place, and I bet it wasn't 40 seconds later, and the JW was unceremoniously set outside my door, while Ro-Ja twisted and turned trying to see where we were. As soon as he shut the door again, we took off---running up to campus and returning to a petulant Englishman a few hours later.

Oh, yeah--bottom line: we never DID have a joint!

Answer 4

Good story.

For the record Jesus was quoting the Talmud (Jewish law book that was not yet completed at the time of Jesus) when he said "he without sin...".
Jewish law REQUIRED at least 2 witnesses, a trial, and if found guilty, executions were carried out by a special group of "sinless" elders. Anything else would just be a mob.

Also, Catholics burned PROTESTANTS at the stake not witches. Witches were hung. No witches were burned at Salem!

Answer 5

Why even have a conversation with them? It is like putting gasoline next to a lighted match and thinking you aren't going to get an explosion. When the Jehovah witnesses come to my door and I mistakenly answer I simply say, "I'm not interested. Thank you." and close the door. End of story. No debate, no discussion, no more invasion into my wonderful morning. They move on to the next victim and I'm spared their nonsense.

Answer 6

Yeah, let her stew. It's her ulcer.

I respect that you were being truthful, but the best thing to tell a JW or a Mormon is that you're Catholic. Both sects believe Catholics are beyond redemption. I actually saw a Mormon go white in the face when I told him that years ago - never heard someone stammer so much while trying to make an exit.

Answer 7

I usually tell them that I've just finished setting up my altar and ask them to join in for some friendly chanting. Just be creepily friendly and they generally scurry off quick. They don't take no for an answer easily, so invite them in for a tour of your library and gemstone collection. Take the high road and they'll look like the jerks.

Answer 8

Sounds familiar!! One night I was feeling especially down so I called TBN.. The woman I talked to got so riled up, I thought wow,what was that?? That was the straw that broke the camels back!! I didn't want anything to do with the church anymore..Then, I really had my ears open to Christians and the experiences I had, I said never again....Awful people with hard hearts.....

Answer 9

Well, first off I doubt she was a Witness, at least I hope not, as we recognise that free will with regards to all things, especially belief is a God given right.

Answer 10

ha ha! good for you. I was JW when I was a kid, and it's boring just going door-to-door...somebody who does something like you did makes the whole day more interesting! and the way that she reacted was so not a good JW thing to do...you should call the JW church closest to you and report her to the elders. She'll get reprimanded, or she should.
