Pete... 2 days ago you said:" but my job is not to defend God ,where I don't know all the answers, but proclaim his message"

I was once told essentially that by Jehovah's Witnesses who knocked at my door. We had a polite but intense discussion as they read me more Bible verses. (They couldn't seem to get the point that I did not accept the message in those verses because I did not accept the authority of the Bible.)

The discussion ended when I finally explained that even IF their claims, 'proclaiming his message' were true, I would not wish to live eternally in a heaven run by a deity whose rules were as they said. Condemning all following generations for Adam's Fall and various other unreasonable ideas just didn't please me.
The JWs were startled and unable to deal with an answer like that... but several days later, an older elder with more experience came by to try to 'clear things up'. He... ummmm... read me MORE bible verses. I explained once more that I didn't accept the bible's authority. He left, and I haven't seen them since. I think I'm on a list with the heading "Hopeless".

   Their church is only a 5 minute walk from my house. I have toyed with the idea of stopping by and asking if such a list exists... but..... nawww..
