I've kept my promise to the man from the Jehovah's Witnesses and looked at their website. Didn't find anything worth linking to - sorry.
The JWs visited on Saturday morning (the first time in several years, to be fair) and it's reminded me I can be _too_ generous with my time. I'll bear this in mind, and now calmly await the first canvassers from the Scottish Family Party (#NoLinkForYou) in the lead up to https://news.sky.com/story/margaret-ferrier-rutherglen-and-hamilton-west-by-election-to-replace-covid-rule-breaking-mp-set-for-october-12955025. I'm sure they'll be a delight.

The shooter in the #MassShooting of #JehovasWitnesses in Hamburg, Germany was a former member of the cult. He took his own life after the shooting. 👉 https://amp.dw.com/en/jehovahs-witness-hall-shooting-in-hamburg-what-we-know/a-64941116
The shooter in the #MassShooting of #LGBQT patrons at #ClubQ in Colorado Springs was a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormon cult) and the grandson of a California state representative espousing #DarkMAGA (also a cult) hate.
See 👀 the difference?

I identify as a #NonTheist in that I don't #Believe in #Deity in the sense of having #Faith.
Deity exists because people say so.
It's been several decades since I took a philosophy of religion course, though I remember that "belief" doesn't really define religion as much as practices do. Think of the spectrum of #Christianity - #Amish, #Orthodox. #Baptists, #JehovasWitnesses, and others.
They all believe in #Jesus

Woman at door: "(inaudible)"
Wife: "My sister-in-law is one, so we're familiar and it's not for us."
Me (thinking)... That's weird, is this some kind of door-to-door lesbian thing? That's not a thing, right? Maybe collecting money for something? But then why did she say no?
(door closes)
Me: "What was that?"
Wife: "Jehova's Witnesses"
Me: "Oh right, my other sister. Yeah that makes more sense."
