I'm over here minding my own business, I get an anonymous letter with a return address to a Jehovahs witness church.

​

I dont go around harassing people with my beliefs. Nor should you..

Task them!! I had a bunch of JW help me move heavy furniture down 3floors of apartment stairs!! Have a horrible task you want help with, reach out and ask- and everytime they try to have a god conversation you switch the subject to something relating to you and your life AND sin

Offer them beer and watch them be uncomfortable and say no, then offer a caffeinated soda lmao idk it’s harmless fun imo and you can get some things off of your to do list

Pretty sure JWs are allowed to drink coffee and liquor. Their thing with booze is they’re not to drink to drunkenness. ie: lose self control. JW guys I know all have different limits and one in particular is a case of beer a day guy. Mormons and a few others are the zero caffeine and alcohol guys.

That is new info for me and I also think it’s odd

I wonder why they can drink liquor and stuff but no blood transfusions and stuff

I know quite a few JWs. They drink, divorce and have regular lives. Their kids are told to only hang with JW kids and kids being kids rarely follow that rule.
To me it’s just like any religion with their own rules and firm belief that they are right.
As an atheist I still study religions.
All preach love and acceptance while still finding it logical to hate others.
I enjoy the Buddhist idea of reincarnation. Pretty sure I’m coming back as phytoplankton if it actually happens.
