Isn't life strange. Only this morning I had Jehovahs Witnesses at the door. First time for years. I was polite and listened for a short time to what was said. Now, if it had been this chap...

These Jehova's Witnesses are even more barking mad than the religion of peace.
They believe the world is only 6,000 yrs old and that dinosaurs and fossils in general are fakes. Their brainwashing of children ( who they tend to drag around from door to door) shoud be a criminal offence.
I must be too grumpy with them as they never visit me again or offer to leave any of those weird pamphlets.
I'd have set my Staffy on him.
Oh, I forgot. On "Watchdog" they did say that you can put a notice on your door now asking random people not to knock on your door.
Apparently, they have to obey, it's now the law. Why not test the theory? :)
Funny you should mention children. The old chap who called here this morning had a wee girl around 8 or 10 year old with him RM.
Aye I saw that Sue. Being in the sticks I seldom get bothered. It's usually too far for anyone to walk. :)
My grandfather, a talkative Christian Scientist with an encyclopedic knowledge of scripture, also lived out in the sticks but sometimes even he would receive a visit.
My mother recalls coming home from school on several occasions to find Jehovah's witnesses, who had some hours earlier gratefully accepted his offer of a cup of tea and a chat about religion, desperately trying to make polite excuses and leave.
I always say Ah'm a geddon out of this.
When I lived in England my regular JW visitors were two nice West Indian ladies. They would hand me the Watch Tower, and then we talked cricket for ten minutes or so. A much less contentious religion (at least until the recent Pakistan tour).
I once made a Mormon lose his temper and stalk off.
Result.
conan - with mormons just mention 'magic underpants' and watch them head offski asap.
jehovas witnesses - just mention the last time the lord promised to visit ( mid 1970's) and failed to show. They'll soon look for another mark to ponce off.
It's strange this religious stuff. They can come to your door and threaten you with eternal damnation if you don't listen to them and take the sky fairy into your heart and there's nothing you can do to stop them . They know they're untouchable and can say or do what they want because they're religious and so our leaders are terrified of upsetting them.
I don't think it's any coincidence that the first port of call for illegal immigrants ( after sorting out board and lodgings and nursing course) is a church group.
Any attempt to get rid of them when their right to stay runs out is greeted by the usual church leaders and their hangers on. Even better if they can sing and have some high profile political or tv personality on their case.
I just ask them to join me at the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Lovely story Macheath. I can just imagine it.
Are you just on your way out then Demetrius?
You bored them to exhaustion then Tcheuchter. :)
Oh I've had them here Conan, not for years though. They seem to have had humour bypasses.
I'll remember these passwords RM. :)
Don't ask me to join you in your temple Joe. I don't like sand you see. :)
Dont mind the religious door to door salesmen, or women, its the political nutters that get me. Like the labour party.
@SR
Howzatt!
*throws bat across changing room*
Ah Tcheuchter, ok. Honestly, I do know you're a cricket fan. :)
Never get them here Apogee - too far from nowhere for them.
Putting a blood donation sticker in your window keeps those particular god botherers away.
Worked for me, might work for you?
Now there's an idea Jayce. I may well just do that. I'm sure I have one somewhere.
