Evolving with technology

[minx]

Got a call this morning - didn't recognize the name, but answered anyway cause I'm in a decent mood.

A very nice woman on the other end introduced herself and said she was calling to offer an invitation to a festival - because of the pandemic, it would be held online and it was free!
Just go to JW.com and if you look on the right side of the screen, you'll see the information.

I thanked her nicely, she said she hoped I had a good day and we hung up.

I am sitting here filled with both wonder and dread.

Wonder that the witnesses have adapted and moved into the 20th century with their semi-embrace of technology.

Dread that because I answered that stupid call that my email and social media feeds will be nothing but ads for them!!

LOL!

Hey did I ever tell you about the time.... I used to sell stuff on c-list and fb market all the time... so one time I had these metal shelves I advertised. Bear in mind that in my ad I posted pictures from several different angles and included the exact dimensions of the unit. I think the price was like 25. Someone messaged and said they'd be right over. So when they get there, they look at the shelves sitting there in the driveway and come to the door. "So do you want them"? "No they aren't what we were looking for". "Oh, okay then." "But I did want to tell you personally that Jesus Christ loves you and.........."

Slams the door.

I'm going to get a tee shirt made that says "Go ahead. Tell me about how God has a plan for my life and I'll show you what he has planned for yours" with a picture of a fist or something in the background.

Matthew 6:1

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Ah yes. Those gospels should have been called Contradictions I, II, ....

Tell me more about God's plan, and how he chose to make me suffer so you can feel more righteous....please, I'm all ears!

And most of the gospels talk about doing good for others, and not bragging about it - 'They shall know you by your works' is pretty much the message.
