So great is my enjoyment of discourse, I may be the only person that likes when Jehovah’s Witnesses visit. Today was an exception, I needed to make the train and I was making breakfast when the nice, well dressed victims evangels arrived. The opening salvo was “Have you heard of the Bible?” it took all my strength to keep the smile from creeping across my when I said “yes” with a nonchalant head bob. I glance at my watch, eight minutes before I need to leave when the ax falls.
Her: Do you believe the Bible is true?
Me: Do you mean Biblical inerrancy?
Her: Well, yes, I suppose.
Me: The next six or seven minutes was a blur of references to ancient Assyrian and then the problems with the King James version while attempting to point out the properties of God that aren’t proven in the Old Testament.
When I woke up cleaning my electric skillet I watched the seconds tick by as I missed my train. Normally not a problem, but I had a project due in Actuarial Modeling. I now need to explain to my instructor why I handed in a project late because I was arguing with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Thursday shall be fun.
