We are infested with magpies and pre-dating their abundance came the Jehovah's Witnesses. They are still around and arrived on my doorstep yesterday, ignoring the bell and knocking on the door. (No, I don't mean the magpies.)
Purveying a false 'gospel' they tried to devalue Christ and received short shrift from me. Not quite as bad as that, they actually dared to claim to be Christians.
The Second Epistle of John.
1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don't confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
1:8 Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished,
but that we receive a full reward.
1:9 Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn't have God.
1:10 If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this teaching, don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him,
1:11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.PRAY for these desperate and lost individuals. Most of their foot soldiers actually mean well but the old saying has never been more appropriate: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' Their senior people can be extremely sinister.
