Including the neigbors telling you that your house is on fire? :-j

What? The Branch Davidians on knocking on doors, too? :88)

No, no, that would also cause too much damage to the house. Burying high explosives under the path to your house is not a good idea either, because the shockwaves could harm the foundations. The right wat to deal with this, is to bury a low-explosive propellant charge with incendiaries on top of it under that mat that says "welcome". Assuming the house is made of stone or other nonflammable material, obviously. Otherwise, the classic trapdoor leading to poisoned spikes (though the affluent might prefer redirecting the proselytizer to their shark's habitat) will have to do the trick.

Some of my best friends are Mormons...but then, that's to be expected.

Well I guess you can't escape it, they live all around you.
But than again, I am sure you don't want to escape them, as I am sure they are perfectly normal people, just with different values that might or might not suite all of us. :D

Ahhh Mormons are OK, I agree, not too keen on the JW seem a pretty uptight bunch, and much more totalitarian. The worst are the Scientologists, and by far. :nope:

There is a reason why Scientology in most European countries is not accepted to be defined as a religion, and are not allowed to take benefit from a legal status of being a religion. They are dangerous, they are a mind-wrecking psycho-cult, they are highly intrusive, totalitarian, and eager to take over control of economical structures. It's about power and control for them. They use defamation, intimidation and public character assassination to overcome any resistance by companies or individuals that fight back or resist to them.

More dangerous than a sack of aggressive vipers. Don't talk, but take them, drown them, forget them. Zero tolerance from me. :down:

:cry: SAVE KATIE HOLMES! :cry:

Have you come across a sack of aggressive vipers mate? I for one have come across snakes (Tigersnake, King Brown, and Copperhead) in my home country out in the bush when hiking and at my mums property/farm. The only thing they want to do is get away from people. They are only aggressive when cornered and provoked which I once stupidly did when I was in my teens. At the time I called it curiosity but now I look back and it was simple stupidity. But back to what you said. I think it is a little OTT to say that Scientologists are more dangerous than agressive vipers and to call for their drowning is more than zero tolerance. It's murder. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Take a pill and chill. :)

I'd like to get a womans perspective on this story:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/people/mi...441203511.html

Two times I had to deal with young people in psychological rehabilitation, who were victims of scientologie's psychological brutality and unscrupulousness. That's why I am so aggressive against Scientology, and other forms of psycho-guru cults as well. If they come my place and are not gone again when I counted 1-2-3, I'll take them down. Also, scientology is an organisation with economical motives I rank in the same class like that of the Mafia. This is not the right thing to be relaxed upon. Their economical possessions and influence within the German economy alone is estimated by experts of the BKA (the German FBI) in the range of the high thousand millions. Scientology is no amateur league, Konovalov. The thread posed by them is real, well-hidden, and very, very big. Everything western democratical and social and ethical understanding is about - scientology is not.

For me they are are valid target for search, find and destroy.

Oh, and the snakes... Have once seen a BBC film, black mambas in mating season. Their aggressiveness then is incredible. If they don't like you, they even chase you, and bite at anything that moves. They keep up the hunt over longer distances, just to bite you down, althiough they cannot eat you. I am no snake hater, btw, but a black mamba in mating m,ood is something that scares me. While most ssnakes are like you said, some of them are... a bit different :lol: No need to play around with them, imo.

I'd like to get an audio recording of that when the time comes. :roll:

In other words you would believe it only when you saw it or in this case heard it?

I read through the article more thoroughly now. What is essentially being advocated is pain control. The popular Lamaze birth method has a similar goal and essentially uses a combination of breathing and concentration techniques to control the pain, both physically and psychologically.

Been there, done that, 7 times. :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

Did I scream? Yes. Lamaze doesn't say you can't but more often I than not I didn't need to or managed not to.

Note I also received at some point or another a pain killer (pethodyne), which I would have prefered to do without but just felt that I needed the fix. :P

You guys are so lucky! :yep:

:yep: HUG YOUR MOMS! :yep:

I know. :D

Buy her flowers and chocolates.

(Hey! I'm on a roll here!)

Well I did take mum out for dinner on Monday night with my wife. ;)

What a nice boy. :yep:

AND SHAMES ON THE REST OF YAS! :arrgh!:

At least David Koresh finally quit smoking! (sorry.. I dont know why I do these things.. it might be genetic..)

The funniest encounter I ever had with door-to-door proselytizers was many years ago when a "Hare Krishna" (dont know what else to call them) rang my doorbell..
The Hare Krishnoids always began their proselytation with "We have a free gift for you!" while holding out this huge book (I believe it is called Bhagavad-gita ) that is very colorfull with interesting pictures and such.. and they never give you the book.. the free gift is the knowledge they give you on how to obtain such a book yourself... something along these lines..
Anyways, a friend of mine answered the door when one of the krishnidians came to proselytize. "We have a free gift for you!"... my friend says THANK YOU!! grabs the book and slams the door shut...
I swear I nearly wet my pants.. couldnt catch my breath for several minuets.
Meanwhile the krishnite is pounding on my door furiously because he has lost his bait, so my friend opens the door again and recieves a blast of invectives from the krishnite who is screaming that he (my friend) had stolen his book..
My friend tosses the book out the door and starts yelling at the guy that if he was not offering the book as a free gift he should not tell people that he was offering it as a gift.. and then slams the door again.

I tell ya .. this was the most amusing afternoon I had had in a long time! :rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :-j
