What a freak coincidence, what I mean by coincidence is that you post about you being troubled from the doorbell, and me yesterday I installed a switch on my doorbell system so those kind of people won't hassle us anymore. Here, often they come around 8 of the morning, and that from all types of religious branches, give us a break…

Next weekend, nobody will bother us when I will turn off the bell system for the morning… in the afternoon they do not show up, beats me…:hmm:

I actually installed the switch yesterday, the only thing left to do is to cut a portion of a metal plate (see red slash in the picture). If I do not cut it, the box will not fit back, the switch takes up a bit more space… but I have no more metal saw blades, I guess it's going to hang there for the week.

So to answer at TLAM Strike's question; "Anyone else get cornered by these people"
Well now, I won't be cornered anymore, at least not at home.

Oh. OK. I looked at the picture and the subject and assume that was a TNT charge on the left of the device.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
