Jehovah's Witness's are in one crazy cult

Took a new job a couple weeks back and met a coworker who was pretty chillin to speak to. We became friends and he mentioned something about a higher power and I said that I am an atheist.
The last couple of weeks he has been WORKING to show me how there's only going to be 144,000 people accepted into Heaven and that you need to be a Jehovah's Witness to be considered(or some shit...) He's been telling me how blood transfusions are evil because the bible says not to drink and eat blood of humans and I am an atheist because the devil wants me to believe there is no god.
Guy got all worked up today saying it's a shame I can't see that the universe was created by god because the beauty is knowing your master. I just told him I think their may be infinite universe's and we're lucky to be in the one where the configuration was perfect for life to exist. He got angry and said "If you don't think you're going anywhere when you die why wouldn't you just have sex, gamble, and kill without worry?"
I told him because of the golden rule, to treat people how I would want to be treated, and I dont want STD's or to die from liver failure at 50. He tells me the one part of his faith he has to work on is that he gets frustrated when people don't see that the Bible is the word of God and he is just trying to help me.
Yo, this mother fucker is trapped in a cult. I did some reading on the JW and it's fucking bonkers, they're famous for many false end time prophecies and weird goofy shit. I am just friendly and nice to him now but it's obvious he believes I am like, posessed and it's his JW duty to save me

I always thought it was funny when i used to go to a Christian church, half the people there said if god wasn't real, they would be partying, gambling, have sex, and doing the drugs. Its sad to think that if their beliefs were disproven without a doubt, they'd instantly go into borderline suicidal mode, and not give a shit about personal health, or humanity as a whole. I believe in god personally, not about to debate whether its real or not, i cant prove it, as no one can disprove it, but if i were disproven, i would still try to share the love with my fellow humans, and spread as much joy as possible. Idk i guess i am a utilitarianist thouggh.

I work in a hospital and I have literally watched a JW die in the ICU because they refused to be giving blood products. They seriously thought that God was going to save them.

One time a some JoHos came to my door and I was in a shit mood so I started talking about about LaVey Satanism and rebutting the shit they were saying with historical facts. They kind of just left and never came back.

O another thing we spoke about was Alien life. I asked him what he thought about life in the universe and he said that if life was discovered it would completely end his belief in being a Jehovah's Witness. That was surprising to me but he claimed that God created man in his image and the universe for man so it makes no sense that god made life elsewhere in the universe.
I told him though that I don't understand how that would ruin a belief in a designer of the universe because what if life formed on Earth and an asteroid impact sent amino acids into the universe that landed on say Mars and they developed and formed some type of cells and he just said it is one of the few things that would make him stop his JW beliefs. I have been blown away that people believe this stuff.
I will say though LuSiD enthusiast that I side with atheism and believe there is no god but I think their could be a small possibility that their could be a god that designed the universe and that's it. I 100% do not believe that a designer is still working in our universe today one bit. I told him that and he told me about all these miracles 
I mentioned that I find it humorous that Jesus and all these miracles occurred during a time where video cameras and the internet did not exist and he said we have accounts from people that were not in contact with eachother who all wrote the same stories.
Also, I asked why dinosaurs were created just to be killed off before humans and he laughed and sad "I don't know... maybe for oil to power our cars." It was a joke by him but all a side step to avoid the question. I just shook my head... This guy also believes human being have only existed 6000 years and that theirs a conspiracy by the scientific community to keep scientists who believe in god down. Truly a cult.

They are just rude. I am sure they would not appreciate me knocking on their door with a bag of cubensis and shoving a copy of "Be Here Now" in their faces despite the fact that they were trying to enjoy a quiet dinner with their family, so it baffles me that they feel justified in knocking on my door to try to get me to believe what they believe. I have been meaning to write a scathing letter to those heathens for some time now.

Having religion is one thing. It annoys the fuck out of me when they can't just be content to have their religion. They have to make everyone else believe their delusions as well. To me it seems like being around non-believers makes them question their own beliefs. Somehow if they convince the non-believer to believe then it must be true.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I met one at the laundry mat once a very polite personable girl of about 23 24 years old So she starts her spiel and I just flat out tell her in these exact words "I ain't buying what you're selling". Her response was I'm not selling anything. So I said let's hear what you have to say so she procedes to ask about my beliefs and what not then asks me to read a passage from her handy dandy bible. I didn't have my reading glasses so she read it to me and asked what I thought . So then I spent the next 1/2 hour discussing theology with her. Then her handlers came to pick her up and my parting words to her were along these lines "You're a pretty good looking young lady my advice to you is go find a boyfriend and stop talking to strangers in laundrymats that look like axe murderers.

I'm not sure if it was JW or who, but it was some old ladies pushing religion, well I had just gotten out of the shower, and realized the towels were downstairs in the dryer, well somebody kept knocking on my door, and I thought it was my kid, so I opened the door naked. These 2 old ladies eyeballs almost popped out of there heads, and I'm just like sorry, and slammed the door. Needless to say I have not been bothered since!

I try to avoid having any contact with them at all now. Never look one in the eyes.
I was outside smoking one evening and they stopped by. I made small talk with them as I was in a good mood but the conversation ultimately turned to my salvation. Afterwards, they started to come by more frequently (3x a week)
I would never answer the door and would turn off the lights & TV in my apartment.
Terrible.
