I need advise

(1/3) > >>

Musterseed:
Two people came to my door this morning. Lovely looking, well dressed people. The lady
had an I-pad in her hand. She told me their names and proceeded to show me a video.
I asked her what it was about but she said I’ll just show you” and I asked her who they were and
what they wanted, She said “oh I thought I told you, and I said no you didn’t ,and she apologized
 so I pressed her and she said “ well, we are Jehovah Witnesses
and put the I pad in my face. I told them I don’t go to church, and that I read my bible and it is my
church. Everything was a blur to me and I was feeling upset, kind of afraid of them. I told them
“ I don’t believe what you believe” honestly , I don’t even know what they believe , but anyway
she said ,” well can I ask what you” and before she could finish her sentence, I said NO 😡 , NO
YOU CANNOT, and she said “ok and they walked away.
Here’s what I need to know, am I a mean spiritual coward, should I have tried to at least let them
speak. I’m not around a lot of people , hardly any actually , so I get confused when I am put
such situations. This summer I was cornered by two young Mormon boys. I felt the same way
and said almost the same things except I told them God is Sovereign and that I loved Jesus .
They wanted to know what I loved about Him , I said 😡 EVERYTHING and sent them packing.
I also had a call from a person I met once a few years ago , she downed everybody and now apparently she is a spiritual healer. I told her Thou shalt not judge and hung up on her.
Many strange things going on in my life. Anyway, I feel really bad about how I treated these people this morning and was hoping to see them on my walk, but I didn’t. I wanted to apologize for my
behaviour. I know some day these same people will know Our Lord and His truth and I don’t like to hurt people. Also it’s that time of year and I feel so sad for all the old people from the Salvation
Army collecting money. They are in every store and they are so old, people just walk by them.
I don’t care about their church but I do care for these old people being used like that. I like to talk to them and show them respect. They don’t know they are deceived do they? Please help me
understand how you , my brothers and sisters relate to others. I find myself avoiding even my
own children. So sad 😞
In Christ,,, Pamela

Wanda:
Dear Pamela,

Please do not waste any more time fretting over your perceived wrong doing with these people. As an ex JW I assure you they were being deceptive by not telling you who they were, and then again when they said they thought they had. I saw much deception from others when they went door to door and it's one of the many reasons I'm no longer one of them.

They were not trying to save you, but themselves, because it is their belief that they must try to save others, else they will die at Armageddon and never live again. Not out of any love but out of fear. I suppose God will excuse them for the deliberate deception though.☺

Much love to you my friend ~♡~

Musterseed:
Thank you Wanda
Sometimes I feel like a guppy in an ocean of sharks.I feel better now. I’m reading Psalms
and it always helps calm my nerves. God Bless you .You are a good friend .❤️

In Christ, Pamela

John from Kentucky:
You did nothing wrong.  They were wrong in violating your privacy.
I find it best to avoid all religious nuts.

Read what Jesus called the false religious teachers of his day.

In my home, I never answer the door unless you have made an appointment with me.  I also never answer my cellphone unless you are listed in my address listing.  So without being in my address listing, you cannot make an appointment to see me at my home.

So I avoid all politicians, salesmen, religious people and other undesirables.

But John...without politicians we would have to manage our own lives and keep much more of our hard earned money and depend upon our neighbors and close family for our needs.  ;)  ::)

Seriously, thanks for the wise advice.
