This morning we woke up and decided a trip to the zoo was in order. It is a gorgeous Georgian fall day, and being inside is out of the question. As we walked through the zoo entrance Dave made sure to ask the workers if there was anyone at the zoo with experience delivering a baby. He was assured that I would be well taken care. Good grief!
Miss HC loved seeing the giraffes and the gorillas. She is becoming more bold at the petting zoo and walked around petting all the goats and sheep. The main issue was she tended to pet them on the tail or butt. Fortunately no one felt in a foul mood, so she did not get kicked.
Upon our return home we had another wonderful visit from our favorite Jehovah's Witness. I cannot remember if I have ever mentioned this saga on our blog. Well, it all began about 7 months ago...and as you can see it 
continues even now. I am not sure exactly what to think about the whole situation. Do they really think that if they continue to come we will one day say...Ya know, you are right, Jesus was not God but an angel...the Trinity is a bunch of BS...there is no hell...and my Bible was translated by a bunch of idiots. I just do not see that happening.

I just do not see that happening.Last time we talked to them, Dave told them (in a nice way) that it was unnecessary for them to visit us again. We had also visibly made them angry as Dave debated them about the Trinity. But, apparently they want to continue to visit. I have stopped answering the door when I know it is them. You might think that is bad, but at some point there is just no point. It is all a debate, and neither of us seems moved.
Anyway, Dave went out to talk to them today and an hour later came back in...they continue to have the same discussion...we point to scripture where Jesus claims to be God, they refute our translation...and go on about how earthly death is punishment enough for our sins, there is no need for a hell.
Since there is apparently no hell in their religion, I do not find any reason to join their side. Even if I am wrong and they are right, I won't be punished, so...alright. Of course, I know that I am right. Not only can I go to the gospels where Jesus regularly claimed his divinity, but also the first chapter of Hebrews speaks to Jesus being God and not an angel. Ah well, I guess the New World translation of the Bible doesn't have the book of Hebrews.
Oops...must run, HC is up from her nap...maybe next time we post it will be about baby Fred...

Just checking in for baby news. :)
You have to admire their persistence. I would imagine their tactic may be a bit better received if it wasn't all debate, not that I fear you guys would ever convert. We're praying that the baby comes before the whole drug induced mess is necessary.
I had a J W lady come by ALL THE TIME, always with a different padwan learner in tow. For quite some time I just smiled and took the Lighthouse (is that what their literature is called?) because I really didn't want to get into a discussion with them and that seemed the easiest way out. Then I got nervous - I was certain that my picture was posted at Kingdom Hall in the "should convert any day now!" column. And the woman was coming all the time - did I mention that? So I finally took the time to explain my position, and that there was no way I was changing my mind. She hasn't been back since. Slacker.
