My first wife was a real estate agent and was always having people meet her at our home, where she would then drive them to view properties in her vehicle. So when I opened the door one afternoon, and saw a lady and her young daughter (10-12) standing on the front porch, I thought nothing of it, introducing myself and inviting them in. I told the lady that my wife was not home, but I expected her at anytime, and invited her to have a seat. While she was sitting down I had walked over to the kitchen side of the house, and asked if I could get them something to drink. At this very instant she blurted out, "you know the world is going to end next year!". I looked at her, and said "what are you talking about?" She said the world, it is going to end next year. At this point I said are you here to meet my wife to go look at homes? She said no, my daughter and I are telling people about the Lord Jehovah. I started laughing, and told the woman I was sorry, but I was not interested, and started walking towards the front door. She asked again if I knew the world was going to end next year. While holding the front door open, I smiled at the lady and told her that there was no way the world was going to end next year because those damn Jehovah's Witnesses, just built a new church over on 10th street this past summer, and they surely would not have built a new one if it was going to end that soon.
