Is it really that often you folks get bothered over there? Over here no holy roller has knocked on my door in at least a decade and that's in urban, suburban and rural locations in three different states. I'm not claiming that's representative but I haven't been hiding from them either.

They just aren't very numerous over here apparently, at least in New England.

I'm in Ohio.
And YES! They will bang your door several times a month if you don't go radical on them!

I once answered the door naked, knowing it was them!
They came back the next day.
My crazy (WAY crazier then me) cousin was here then.
He started telling them about Satan and how he worshipped him.
They left and came back the next day!
The sign was up by then and have passed by every since.

I haven't pulled any satanist stunts on them yet.
But i once broke out a bunch of math, geography and Universe books on them, trying to make them admit God did not exist and that The big bang was the source of EVERYTHING EVER.

didn't work too well.

I appreciate them for a laugh once in a while.

Invite them in and then start talking to yourself as if there's two of you!
That will make both your day and thiers!

My sister was one of them for awhile. I got an inside track to flip them out!

had a family member that became a whitness.
Over years i observed from the outside, and how she changed... everything. Husband, kid, work, house, relocation finances and health decline.
She claimed to be happy, because she was guided, and embedded in that jehovah community.

welll.... okay. if she is happy, that's all we can ever ask for in this life.

But not a path to take in my opinion, and it confirmed me in my thought that religion, in organized form is basically brainwashing.

I agree with you 100%.

Brother you sound like a training aid for identifying someone possessed by the devil. You might actually be drawing them in with that kind of behavior like moths to a candle. Bet you get prayed over a lot.

I have "WARPED" tattooed down my wrist next to the Pumpkin King.

And I jumped outta aircraft for a living once.
How much crazier can I get?

Ha, the witnesses...
They (finally) rang at my door last summer. Two women, a very young one and an older one, both armed with the holy book of "truth" and "light" and "guidance" and what not...

I never met those folks before, so I thought its a good idea to get some info and build up my own opinion. My little adventure ended after 45 minutes in my doorway, when the ladies "really had to go" after some interesting discussions.

What really got me was the thing that one MUST believe in god (and worship him of course) so he is good to go into paradise after the last breath was done. I asked them:
"Ladies, let us assume that I was a very good person all my life. Good in helping people in need, never breaking the law etc. etc... but still... the "allmighty" wont allow me to enter paradise because I did not worship him on my knees? Even worse, I have to suffer instead? Doesnt God demand from us that we love and care about each other? Why would he punish me then?

Let me ask you honestly:
Does god have any personal problems, like feeling insecure? (they stopped their fake smiling at this point all the sudden)
How can someone, like God, punish me and let me suffer - just because I did not worship him? Does he really need that so badly? That does not make sense to me at all, please explain..."

"We are sorry, we will be back another time..."

Made my WEEK, not just my day!
