Zaki Chehab, on the survival of Hamas on Democracy Now:
You know, when someone want to get married, he would ask his fiancée if she’s going to be loyal to him, faithful, not going out, respectful, all sorts of things, and she would ask him if he snores and, you know, make certain conditions, because she will say, “Yes, I will marry you,” or he will say, “I will marry,” you know, “you, as well.” So Israel would jump straight and ask for marriage straightaway.
On tonight’s Independent Lens Jehovah’s Witness doc, KNOCKING:
It was always my dream to marry an older Jewish man who smoked a pipe, but who stopped smoking a pipe when he became a Jehovah’s Witness. But I guess he could still be older.
In the 60s, the Jehova’s Witnesses used to try to convert my grandma all the time. She used to love those “polite young men” and invite them in for milk and cookies. They never did succeed in the conversion, though.
