Re: Funniest/most interesting Real Life encounters with fund
I cannot believe that the great and mighty Squawk does not have a better story.
As for me, when I was in college, at least once a semester some evangelical preacher(s) would come on campus just to yell at us. During my sophomore year, after watching this one group of preachers for the first half of a week I decided to have fun with them and argue back.
The preacher that I started arguing with was talking about how christians have higher morals than anyone else does because their morals come from the bible. I pointed out that the god of the bible commands his people to put to death many innocent people.
The preacher responded by saying "the people god ordered to death were evil and wicked."
I brought up the story of Joshua and asked, "were the women and children that were killed also 'wicked'".
He said, "of course they were, that is why god ordered their deaths."
I than asked, "why, if they were all 'wicked', did god ordered Joshua and his men to take the young women as slaves."
At this point, you could see the frustration on the preacher's face. He tried to shift to another story and tried to ignore me by talking to other people. I kept asking him about Joshua, the young women, and how a moral god can condone genocide and slavery. Some of the other people around me kept asking him to answer my question.
He finally looked at me again and said, "What was your question again?"
I said, "Why did your moral god order the death of so many innocent people?"
He looked at me and said, "They were not innocent, they were WICKED if god ordered them to die they were WICKED. If god ordered me to kill you I would do it because that would mean you are WICKED."
After hearing that I laughed at the preacher and walked off, I had to get to class or work. They were also videotaping their "witnessing", however, when I looked at their website (I have long since forgotten the URL) the video of me was never on it.
Squawk said:Well, when the JW's came knocking at my door the first time (oops, wrong house guys, srsly), there were two of them. One a nice young lady, at a guess early to mid 20's, really quite sweet. The other, an elderly lady, visitor to the area apparently, obviously very reserved. I chatted to them for about 20 mins or so.
Why funny? Well, I was wearing nought but a dressing gown, open at the chest and most definitely too short for me, no shower or shave and it was around 11am (off work that day). That old lady never once looked at me after I opened the door
