Oddities

I'm at home sick today. For my birthday Saturday, I was puking my guts out by midnight and it hasn't really let up since then. I haven't eaten anything today, but I'm not taking my chances after all the blood that was coming up last night. Now, I wasn't vomiting blood, my throat was bleeding from throwing up so hard. It's not a new occurrence, it seems to bleed every time I throw up, depending on the violence of it. And it's been pretty violent, so I'm not going to tempt it another day and just stay away from food. The tea I drank last night didn't come up so I'm going to go with that.

I got another 'gift' for my birthday however that's just fucking odd. Apparently I have become the target of some strange letter writing Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't know how they got my address because I was sent a letter from a woman here in town through the U.S. Postal system to my house by this nut bag. It was handwritten so there was no Comic Sans to get my attention. I didn't take long however to realize that this was a fucking religious nut that was addressing me. And they say the art of letter writing has died. I'm not certain if I should be confused or creeped out that there are probably old women sitting around writing letters like this to complete strangers. Doesn't that seem unusual to you? Perhaps they're compelled by some feverish urge to do these things, mistakenly believing that non-believers like myself are going to be swayed by such odd letters. I used to write quite a few letters. None of them were unwelcome and to my friends. I would even spend some time making the plain envelopes interesting by adding some of my lame ass drawings to them. Oh well. I'm going to scan it sometime and cut out all the names, because they did have my name. Until then, I'll reproduce this oddity, unchanged in capitalization or spelling. The paragraphs are just as they were written in the letter as well. This is their own letter, minus my name, their address and somewhat sloppy but legible cursive handwriting.

Dear chaosagent,

My name is Minnie B-------, I am writing you because I am not able to visit you in person.

Many people are familiar with the Prayer that is called the "Lord's Prayer" or "Our Father". In that prayer we pray "Let Your Kingdom Come" Matthew 6:10.

Have you ever wondered what that Kingdom is that we pray for? How will it's coming sanctify God's name or make it holy? How is the coming of the Kingdom related to doing God's Will?

What is the Kingdom? It is a real goverment established by God - "Jehovah", with a King chosen by God. Who is the King of that Kingdom? Jesus Christ. Jesus as King is greater than all human rulers and is called "the King of those who rule as Kings and Lord of those who rule as Lords." 1 Timothy 6:15. He has "Power to do far more good than any human rule, even the heaven. Act 2:35. tells us where he will rule from? Well where is Jesus now? Jesus was put to death of torture stake and then he was resurrected. Shortly thereafter he ascended to heaven as said in Act 2:35.

Hence that is where God's Kingdom is in heaven. That is why the Bible calls it's a "heavenly Kingdom" 2 Timothy 4:18.

Although God's Kingdom is in heaven it will rule over earth. Revelation 11:15.

 But what is God's will for the earth?

 If you would like to further this discussion please feel free to call the above address.

 If you would like to visit the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses located at -------- Crazy Street, accross from Meijer's.

 Our Ministers are all voluateers. They do not get paid. There is no coelections taken up. All are welcomed.

 Sincerely, Minnie B------

Okay. It's like a pitch that they would use when they would go door to door. They don't tend to come to our door, at least when we're here, because most of them come around in the daytime when we are at work or sleeping. I don't think I've seen the Jehovah's Witnesses out in our area before. I've seen Mormons and others from local baptist churches. And most of the Jehovah's Witnesses that do go around trying to spread the word seem to be large women in late middle age. I've seen about a dozen different women come to my workplace to visit some of the residents. One of the women I took care of was a Jehovah's Witness, though she never spoke about it at all, thankfully. She had dementia.

I am curious how they got my name and address. I do not interact with these people when they come to work and I sure the hell don't go looking for them. There seems to be an upsurge in the pushing of tracts, and morons in general showing up around town and my job in particular. Someone left a large pile of Billy Graham tracts on the table where activity schedules and the like are put for the residents. I took them and trashed them, save one, that will go with my little pile of information from the nut bags. On the 5th some stopped by leaving a pamphlet for their "Bible Education Center" on my front door. I took pics of the thing and made fun of it on Twitter. I guess I need to scan and collect these into some posts. I'm sure they're amusing.
