Tea With Terrorists pt 2: Debate at QT

As I was picking up my coffee this morning I noticed I was parked next to a Jehovah Witness. One might ask "Mas...how can you tell a JW just by looking at one?" Simple! The New World Translation on his lap and the stack of Awake! rags on his dash board.

When he noticed me staring at him he began to look nervous. He was flipping through his propaganda booklet pretending not to see me, but stealing glances from the corner of his eye from time to time. Finally, I spoke.

"Hey, Publisher!"

He jumped somewhat in his seat. He looked over at me and put on that same fake smile and those absent eyes promising the false hope of the resurection if you joined the cult and put your faith in a mutant Angel. He asked me if he could help. I could tell he couldn't give me the answers I was looking for so I asked him for his partner. His partner finally came around the car. He also had that same smile. It faded when I asked the question.

"Why do you hate Jews?"

The question took him back a bit. I doubt he ever had a preaching opprotunity begin like that. He asked me why I felt he hated Jews. So I told him about the exploits of the two JWs I spoke of in the previous post. His response was very predictable. He tried the whole "We aren't all like that" line. I guess he was used to talking to the ignorant goy of Johnson County. My response was:

"Yes you are, every one of you."

Not fair you say? Am I slightly bitter? YES! That's what happens when you are CONSTANTLY persecuted by these zombie god followers simply because you're Jewish. The average christian loves us with their mouths yet hates us with their hearts.

The Publisher (JW door knocker) and I debated for some time. We also left on good terms. I showed him the video of the incident. He was shocked at what he saw. Shock is the usual response I get from most people.

He promised me that he would do something about this. I'm not holding my breath. I have no faith in people like that. My hope would be a simple apology, but I know I won't get that. Forgiveness is supposed to flow from me like water off of a mountain stream. Honesty, it doesn't. That is why I failed this test.

Honestly, though, maybe this can be fixed. Hopefully the people involved will be removed from power and we can get on with our lives.
