Visitors!

So I just had a couple Jehovah's Witnesses drive up and try and talk to me about the Last Days. I kinda wish I'd had more time to actually argue with them, but I got the feeling they figured out pretty soon I wasn't gonna be a good target, so they gave me the obligatory handouts and left. Just because I told them I don't think it's the Last Days, or that terrorists are really going to blow us all up. I didn't even tell them who I thought was giving the terrorists the most help in spreading fear!

And then I went to their site and one of their featured articles is about how Yoga is a dangerous outgrowth of "spiritism" and should be avoided. Which almost makes me want to take up yoga, but I'm too lazy. Other than the silly parts of their religion, they seemed like nice enough people, though.

That's true with most people.

If it was the Last Days, surely they have no further need for all their worldly money. It would behove them to disassociate themselves from anything evil before the Final Judgement, and money is the root of all evil. Fortunately, you have a piggybank Evil-Be-Gone Device which can help, they just need to empty their wallets into it...

Their religion is already helping them with that problem, you know.

Most Jehovah's Witnesses are reasonably nice people. Their /religion/ is an insane cult that just gets more wacked the more deeply you look (one has trouble taking the word of any religion that's so incredibly ...protective... of their texts getting into the wrong hands that they're NOT a crazy brainwashy cult - No? Then let me see your training materials for elders - and since they won't show me, I can only take the word of the ex-Jehovah's Witnesses on the net.)

I feel especially sorry for the ones raised in it, because if they leave, they lose their family and all their friends, basically.
