Oracle of DelphiJehovah's Witnesses won't you leave me alone
January 23rd 2007 03:38
I was upstairs doing something today when I heard a knock on the door. If I'd known who it was I would left them to knock until they had bloodied knuckes, but I am expecting a parcel so I scampered down the stairs with cries of, "I'm coming".
I opened the door to an old lady, probably 70 - 75 years of age and a younger woman in her fifties. The older woman, almost mumbling, starts to tell me they are walking around speaking to people about the grave situation the world is in. Huge problems and injustices facing humanity.
"What do you think about that?" she asks me.
Before we go any further, I am on to them. I answer, "Before I detail my feelings about the shite state of affairs the world is in, who do you represent."
"We're Jehovah's Witnesses," she replies.
That's as far as we're going. "I'm an aethiest, I don't really want to discuss this with you. Have a nice day."
I was polite as I am to most people, but the problem I have with these people is that their ultimate aim is to bring you to their way of thinking, but instead of coming straight out with it, they try to come through a side entrance by playing on my concerns for the world, as many of us have. Religion is mostly to blame for said shite state of affairs so the last thing I want to do is discuss it with those who are obsessive about religion.
So if any of the Jehova's Witnesses are reading this, please stay away from my house, I don't want your watch tower. So you know, it is the one with the nice front garden.

They got uncomfortable when they asked me something innocently racist. 'What language do you speak?'
'Uh, English?' I replied, half-closing the door.
'No, but what's the other language?'
'What other langauge?'
Uncomfortable pause, made worse by me not smiling.

Then there were the Mormons that tried to get themselves invited in for dinner...

Tell that the the problem with the world is palm trees, too many palm trees; everywhere you get palm trees you get problems.

Get a tupperware container. Fill it up with tap water ... draw a Cross on it ... write the words 'Catholic Holy Water' on the tupperware bowl ... show it to them when they open the door ... then splash it in their faces ... believe me ... it works every time ...
Nothing like cross Atheistic/Catholic principles coming together to fight a common pest / enemy ... ***

I was forced to knock on peoples doors or I would not make it through Armagedon..( fear tatics that they use to keep you inline).
Personaly now that I have escaped there bulls**t , I have found that if you get a little time to down load some questions that J.W's can't answer and when they knock on your door you just smile at them and say "just a second, I have to get myself a comphy seat because I think you guy's are going to be here for quite sometime seeing as I have about 50 odd questions about your evil,child molesting, murdering religious cult"!
Now if that doesn't get them bastard running and you don't want too even waste that much time disposing off them, then just simply tell them to mark you down as a 'DO NOT CALL' and if they ever turn up on your doorstep again with out your permission, then you will set your pitbull or rotty onto them.
These poeple, believe me are dangerous and are so filled with blind faith after all the bullsh**t that is feed into them at there meetings they you are unable to ever reason with them....It's there way or nothing!!!
All of our family is split up because of the J.W's.
My parents and my younger sister are still in it (my dads an elder) and they wont speak to us because we are considered 'demonic' and 'evil' and 'haters of jehovah god'...
Spare me there crapp!!!!
No religion I know tells there family members not to talk to those who have left because they don't agree with what there being taught...What happened to freedom of speach!!!
They are a cult that have changed there beliefs so many time there heads must be spinning.

I am not a JW but I have studied & associated with them for over 13 years and what you say about them is a lot of Crapp. They are healthy good living honest people with respect for others in the community.
You must have a really boring life, and I can understand why none of the JWs and your family will talk to you, the reason being you are a disrespectful person.
For anybody else out there just ask the JWs to mark you as 'DO NOT CALL' and they will not call.
