Today, I was able to play all my Independence Day playlist on Spotify and sometimes I was able to play it at full blast. I cooked my teammates a southern lunch, sorry no cornbread 'cause no cornmeal, and had apple pie for dessert. I also wore my Tennessee flag shirt to show off the Red, White, and Blue! It has been a wonderful time and I was able to hear the freedom of my home country ring from 4000 miles away.
I was also able to hear the doorbell ring from upstairs. And of course, it was our friendly neighborhood Jehovah's Witnesses. Today was the last meeting that I will have with them here due to the fact that I will be gone away from the house for the next two weeks and then I am leaving Switzerland on the third week. We had wonderful conversations about Jesus, Hell, Evil, Love, and a lot more philosophical and theological topics. They stumped me a couple of times and I stumped them a few times, so I think that it was a good time! I hope to have more interactions like this when I get back to the states! They both were so receptible to what my ideas were and I was able to follow their ideas. They seem to be so close to real Christianity that it really hurts. They have a different Bible that adds or subtracts words from the text. I had to read from the original Greek and Hebrew for them to stop and think that maybe their Bible is wrong. Of course, this was not my goal but to only have them think deeper as to what their Bible says compared to the original texts say.
This post, without saying I guess, goes to my professors at Bryan and all the people that have helped me form my view of the Bible and the truth from it. Without you all, I would have been sucked into their closeness and missing the actual truth.
So, everyone, enjoy the rest of your Independence Day (since the majority of my readers are 7 hours behind)! Happy 4th and please be careful with the fireworks and/or gunshots tonight! Don't drink and drive or shoot.
So proud of you!!
