DO YOU TALK TO THE MORMONS AND JEHOVAH WITNESSES THAT COME TO THE DOOR?

Yesterday some Jehovah's Witnesses stopped by the house, and scared the hell out of me.

I live across the street from two churches, and neither of them have bothered to get to know me, which is just as well, but rather funny in some way, which I didn't recognize til this couple stopped by yesterday.

They were pretty cute, older and married. You could tell she was really into it. That's usually the case. The woman gets involved and the guy goes along for the ride, and does his own thing when she isn't looking. Beer, smokes, whatever. I have known a couple of Jehova's Witnesses, and that was the dynamic.

ANYWAY
I said HELLO.. WHO ARE YOU?
And they introduced themselves.

They wanted to know if I thought about death much, with all the strife in the world. Did I worry about death, and what happens after DEATH.

Well, it is none of your business, but I will tell you this much, I said. Death is the least of my worries. Death lived with us for a while, and we got rid of him. He was a drag. We decided we'd rather LIVE in the moment, and appreciate this gift we have been given of LIFE
HERE NOW.

They were concerned for me and mine, they said. The lord is in heaven on his throne, they said, and he is not going to take everyone to live in the kingdom.

Yeah, I said.
I know all about that.
NOT BEING A JEW, I know I am not one of
the CHOSEN. Pretty much leaves me up shit creek, if I believe in THAT GOD.

The man laughed.
The woman said the jews were chosen but that Jesus could get us into the kingdom.

I told her I had read all about Jesus and it seemed to me like he was trying to
blow the cover on that temple/elder/priest racket and let everyone know that they didn't need a church or a priest or secret words or any THING at all, and that was pretty cool but that some people wanted to COOP all that and twist it.

I told her the kingdom was within
and her eyes were for seeing
what is right here right now
and her hands for doing what needs to be done.

She told me the bible was clear on many things, and showed me a passage in Matthew on the wide path and the narrow path.
She was pretty smart.

I referred her to PK DICK's VALIS and the destiny thread.


ANYWAY

Just thought I would share that with you
on the day that isn't that sabbath.

Maybe later I will tell you about the mormons that came for tea and cookies. We looked at pictures of baalbek and talked about aliens and lsd and peyote. They told me they aren't allowed to go on boats when they are on mission. Missing the proverbial boat..
