got some jehovahs witnesses at my door today. i really enjoy interacting with missionaries but find i often have to squeeze the real pitch out of them. theyre like “hey we’re just sharing a bible verse with people” and im like, come on. lets go. why would i join ur club. sell me.
i asked a few questions about their christology as i figured that would be the main doctrinal difference between them and normative christianity. as you may know they dont think Christ is God, are non trinitarian, actually they dont even think the holy ghost is a person. […]
out of genuine curiosity i asked, so how do u read john 1 that says, in the beginning the word was God and so on. so she says, well actually if you look at the greek, it should say “a god”, not just “god”. so i said, so you believe in more than one god then. Christ is “a God”.
im sure the nerdy JWs have an intelligent answer for this but i think i usually get the ‘in training’ missionaries or something. she said basically he’s like a high ranking spirit being. alright. like an angel i guess. actually she said she’d come back w her husband who is a nerd
i know a smart guy, i dont know him that well, who converted to JW. i think missionaries in general enjoy talking to me because im genuinely interested, so i really have to pad it with “look honestly i dont see it happening”. when i told them i had these two books they were amped 
their branding is all very direct. this book looks cool (already had this).
they tried to give me a pamphlet that was the first part of this thing called “you can have eternal life” or something, and i was like yeah i listened to the first 20 - 30 parts of that online (lol)

[using a normie gif but] my wifes like “ask them about the 144,000”
