The Cheek Of It!

[Caran]

This morning the doorbell rang. When I answered it there was a latprge gentleman.
Good morning madam, I'm Kevin and I'm a Jehovah's Witness. I pointed to the notice on the door. Did you not see this, it says no uninvited traders.
I'm not a trader he said.
You are selling your religion I said.
He replied I ask no money for my religion.
I told him you are peddling your religion and I'm not interested now please go away.
He did muttering under his breath. Why do we bother having a notice on the door to. Be ignored. Grrrrrr!

When I had a house rather than a flat the sign said no junk mail no cold callers and no evangelical religions THIS MEANS YOU
ignore this notice at your peril.

When i got bored I might ask them in and wind them up for a while. Always cheap they don't drink tea or coffee if they are strict. I did give a couple accompanied by a little boy a telling off though. It was eighty degrees and he looked fit to drop poor lad. Cold lemonade pet,and you two....etc etc etc

I have a notice on my front door 'No Religionists' and I don't get any. Think you may have to add a specific to yours ;-)

What's the difference between a Jehovah's Witness and TonyAV's old banger?

You can close the door on a Jehovah's Witness.

Why do people get so worked up about JW's? I've found politeness to be more effective than hostility. A pleasant 'thanks for calling but I'm not religious, yes I'll take a watchtower but please don't call back' suffices. I keep the watchtowers to light my coal fire in the winter as I don't buy newspapers. So everyone's happy. I do however tell gypsies and con men who want to fix my roof or re do my drive where to go.

I am sorry I stopped needing an imaginary friend when I was four works quite well. By the time that has got through their brains I've got the door shut

// The Cheek Of It! ( I thought this thread was gonna be about bums ) ;-)//
yeah so did I
as in - I slapped him as I didnt have a water pistol, and he turned the other cheek, and replied
The Good Lord said - slap away ma'am there is no charge for this service ( or something) !

so I got my horsewhip .....

O I argue the toss with them

they are the one who say there is a lost aramaic original which was then translated into Greek...but the document they are saying is a translation - - - clearly isnt .

My fren' was ready wiv: everything in the Bible is true
So the parables are actually true ? He went around and found a prodigal daughter and thought no good - and then TWO prodigal sons ( nope) and then a prodigal father ... and then finally - a prodical son so he thought yup can use this .....

and if the parables arent true then - not everything in the Bible is true ....

and I thought blimey all my yapping about Cutland and computability has been taken in .....
