I'm getting married

in love •  6 years ago 

Well, not immediately. And I'm not sure yet with whom. Or when. But as soon as God wills it, I'm all set.

If He wills it, that is. I didn't stop to think what if he doesn't....uh-oh. Is it possible that God doesn't mean for me to get married?

Well, Hell knows....oops, I shouldn't say that. Maybe that's why He doesn't want me to marry. That's a bit of a dick move, if you ask me...

And no, I don't actually care about getting married. But a woman stopped me on the street the other day and I'm not the sort of person who just tells people to fuck off. Well, sometimes. But usually I'm like yeah, let's see what happens.

And it turned out she was a Jehovah's Witness and she asked me how I see the future and shit like that. I felt very much like I might fail a test in school...
And she wanted to give me a flyer for young people, but she was fresh out. Must've been a busy day...and so, she said she'd give me a family flyer instead.

Am I married?

She immediately checked my hand to look for a ring, to which I hesitantly replied 'no'. She gave me this pitying look like you poor thing and told me that soon, I would be, should God want it of course.

See, I never knew it was God's consent I needed, I always thought I would be the guy's. Oh well, that should save me some time. Surely,Charlie Hunnam would understand it's God will that we marry...wouldn't he?

So right now, I'm waiting for God to give the old okay. I've stopped actually looking for candidates. I trust that when God decides it's time, He can also decide with whom.

Oh, I did get a correct answer because there was this multiple choice question on the flyer, what's important in a family - love, money or something else?

Doesn't that sound like a trick question? I mean anyone with half a brain would say love, especially if they didn't want to upset Jehovah's Witnesses....and who wants that?

So, that's my weekend sorted. How's yours?

Wish i was free and 20 years younger to jump on this occasion :-) I just realise i never married actually, interesting, probably why we are still together. Anyway, fuck anybody's consent and fuck marriage for sure.

It seems the Lord has other plans, my friend :P

fuck anybody's consent

Even the guy's? I mean...that just doesn't seem to work :P

Ow that's actually sweet. I know, I don't believe in marriage either ;)

You don't need a permission from either god or the guy. Just send me 1000 eur steem and I will admit your marriage with any groom of your choice.

Huh, tempting offer...I do feel that God's a bit cheaper - could you throw in a baptism or two?

Sure. Do you require a visit from a holy(?) spirit as well? You know for bragging rights that your child is special?

Oh shit, I hadn't thought of that...Hmm, do you have a sort of package deal? A sort of all-in-one thing? 'Cause I really don't wanna be running back and forth for every little thing...

A full package? Of course I have what you need. But to get that you must first be in the vip club of my clients. Wanna join today?

Interesting. I had no idea the Jehovah's had different fliers. When they come to my house they just give me the Watch Tower pamplet and leave quickly. Maybe I give off a strong nature worshipping vibe and they get the hibby-jibbies, so they just shove one in my direction.

But how do you know when god gives consent? Maybe if lightening doesn't strike you dead at the altar? That seems like a lot of effort and expense to go to just to find out...

Me either...they come to your house? Here they don't, though there is a really creepy option on the back of the flyer that reads "analyze the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses" and you have to tick a box that says you want to be visited (their words, not mine). Kinda creepy if you ask me :)))

I give off a strong nature worshipping vibe

Possibly, though you'd think they'd be natural allies...I mean, isn't God supposed to have created everything? So you're still worshiping God through nature...or something...

That seems like a lot of effort and expense to go to just to find out...

Which is why I'm not getting married. I mean suppose I meet some really nice guy, wouldn't that be a colossal waste?

Lol. That would be very wasteful to have that nice guy be struck down by lightning. Surely that guy would have been meant to be someone else's husband, and now he can't, because you forced god's hand and he had to zap him. Very sad business. Yes, don't risk it ;)

I got married once...

Was it God's will? 'cause if it wasn't, I don't know if it counts...

Hmm, let me see...Nah, God had nothing to do with it...Was blind luck! 🤣 Maybe it's not legit then huh?

Posted using Partiko Android

Hmm I guess not then. You mean to say you've been defying God's will for 30 years? 😮😮😮

slowly steps back

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah I know right? I keep looking skyward waiting for that bolt of lightning to hit me. I've got decent life insurance too...Faith will be rich when that bolt of lightning sends me to hell.

Posted using Partiko Android

Ahem, good life insurance, openly defying God...i don't wanna point fingers, but it all sounds rather suspicious to me :p

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah, I'm a bad influence on ya...Still, made it through 49 years so maybe I'm blessed or all those lightning bolts were poorly aimed!

Posted using Partiko Android

Blasphemer...if the Lord hasn't ended you yet, it's because he doesn't want to...sheesh...

Posted using Partiko Android

You're getting married! Yay, congratulations!!

Oh wait, not getting married... God doesn't want it yet. What if God wants you to marry someone who repulses you, do you have to marry him?

Posted using Partiko Android

Hmm good question...I suppose so. I mean, since it doesn't matter if I want to or not, I guess it s the same when it comes to whoI marry...🤷
