  I Didn’t Post Today.
  

  
  

  Actually I did, but I didn’t make it public OR protected. 
  It’s long and ranty and for my own consumption, only.
  I’ve been too pissed off to want to share much of anything.
  I’m still mighty peevish and not wanting to blog.

  Then I got THE craziest phone call this afternoon
  from the woman I wrote the ‘Messianic Judaism 101′ letters to.
  She apparently had a Jehovah’s Witness at her house
  and called me to help her refute the woman.  ?!?!?!?!?!?

  I told her that the Jehovah’s Witnesses claim
  that they are the 144,000 that are in Revelation 7:2-8,
  (you know, that the Bible SPECIFIES are Jews, not JWs?)
  and only those 144,000 Jehovah Witnesses go to Heaven. 
  Only problem is, there are more than 144,000 JWs.
  And if you add in all the JWs thru history?
  Heaven’s full up, and the people she’s talking with
  didn’t make the boat.  No room – sorry!

  She had me on speakerphone so the JW could hear.
  The JW was pissed off at my answer, too, I might add.
  I feel her embarrassment, but let’s face it…
  Why would I leave a belief system that
  assures me a place in Heaven…
  for a belief system that has me left OUT of Heaven?
  StOopid.

  It was… really weird.
  Especially since I hadn’t expected to hear
  from the woman I wrote to ever again.

  So yeah.  This day was surreal on too many levels.
  Let’s try again tomorrow, shall we?
