#jehovaswitnesses — Public Fediverse posts

I won't say the names they gave me in case these are good likenesses. I doubt it, and they were common enough, but no reason to put anyone at slightly increased risk of anything.
But anyway.
This is the best I could do for the Like a Dragon character introductions. Idk wtf kanji anyone would use for e.g. "John" anyway. Yeah, yeah. I know, people would just pick a new one, but gdi. It bugs me!

I'd want whatever my name's etymology would be, in the closest name choice for that language. It feels silly either way, but eh. Whatever makes life bearable.

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

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.

I've now been spoken to by #JehovasWitnesses. In my own boring old apartment in a boring residential Hindu/Muslim neighborhood by an eager thickly accented young Japanese man trying to speak Hindi named, and I kid you not, Yasuo.

Achivement unlocked, I suppose.

Will have to go on an unplanned weekend trip so that the return visit is tragically unreciprocated...
