So I'm at work just chillin' out. I start getting my stuff together as my shift has recently started, when I notice a few people at the desk and I ask them if they need any help. Standing there is a well dressed woman (mid-30's), a small boy (7-8), and an older woman (late 40's early 50's). The new conversation (paraphrased because of my memory) goes something like this:
The well-dressed woman says "no" and then proceeds to pull a JW flyer from her purse and asks me if I have seen the flyer.
Seo: (in her pleasant 'this is a customer' voice) "Why yes I have. We recieved a one at the house just the other day."
WDW:"Well what did you think of it?"
Seo: "Honestly I thought about 2/3 of it was reasonable and the other 1/3, not so much." (Trying to be polite I can't tell her that 1/3 of it is complete crap; also I'm at work and crazy or not, she is still a customer.)
WDW: "Well atleast you got through 2/3's of it."
Seo:"Oh no I read the entire thing. I just didn't agree with parts of it."
WDW: "Which parts?"
Seo: (snags the flyer and gives it another look) "The bit about immoral sex. Too many gay friends and all that."
WDW: smiles I don't think she expected me to say it or have any reasoning behind it. Se then continues ith something about if you only read the bible you'd understand
Seo: "Oh I've read the bible, a few times, and honestly I figure I have my way of going about the world and others have theirs. As long as you are okay with your way and obey the laws then more power to you."
At this point I think she's about to leave when the older lady with her pipes up.
OW: "Do you really think God (gotta put it in caps you know she does) is okay with that? If you read (insert passage number I don't remember) it says so and so."
We continue on that for a little while and then the conversation goes kinda like this.
OW: But the bible says this.
Seo: "Yes but also the bible was written by man so no offense it is always going to have their slant on it."
OW:"Oh the bible has an answer for that in Timothy (insert passage number) it says so and so."
Seo:"Yeah but that was still written by another person. Unless god came down and typed it there's always going to room for interpretation."
OW:"But they were talked to by God (blah blah more of the same). Okay how about this if say a you were a lawyer and a small child had to give testimony and the lawyer wrote it down for the child, would you say that was open to interpretation."
Seo:"Yes but not really the same."
At this point someone came for a stroller and I had to take care of that and I guess they got sick of debating with me. LOL So my first day on the job alone I started debating with JW's. LOL Yay!
And just now we had the Giftcards which no worky.
And now some guy talking about how he is against Capital Punishment
