Oh Witnesses!!!?

Jehova Witnesses. Yes, they are here in Denmark, too, and they just came knocking at my door. They just had to show me this wonderful passage in the bible! It didn't mean anything to them that I was in the middle of a 24-hour take-home exam. They were convinced that it is up to God to create peace on Earth so that we can all get along. I was sorry to say that I studied too much about culture and communication to agree. I told them that until we can accept and understand each others culture, there will never be peace. It's not up to God, it's up to us. They defended themselves by saying that so many great things were written in the bible. I agreed, but then again they were also a little upset that I didn't agree that Jesus was the son of God. Yes, he was a great person, but do you think I believe that anyone can walk on earth without it happening through sexual intercourse?! I don't believe in magic, I'm sorry. This is not Harry Potter.
OK. Back to my exam.

they should have known better than to mess with you during finals week. Maybe you better put a warning sign on your door...

Good luck! I can't WAIT to see you! I'm going to come up to camp and hang out even though I can't be a counselor this year!
