"thou shall not take another mans blood"

Now I read that as don't kill another man, but they read it slightly differently. Of course they only read it when supervised too......

You think they believe some funny shlt, I heard about this bloke the other day who could walk on water, feed 5000 and come back from the dead!

before the days of pc and loony gung ho coppers!!!

we lived in a small village, the local jw,s did a sunday blitz..

my mum had got an ear infection and was a bit mutton, this couple knoked on

the door and started...

about an hour later my mum thanked them and of they popped ..

she confessed she couldt hear them properly, so they had a very one sided conversation my mum just smiling nicely , and them convinced they were on to a winner..

they never came back though..... they must have flagged my mum as a bit strange!!

my neighbour had a more direct approach though!!! they were escorted of her premises by her good self, a broken 12 bore over her arm!!! and a few choice words..

try that today!!

A friend of mine invited them in once and gave them some "cakes" he'd just made. They had a nice chat, stayed for about 15 minutes then left.
A bit later he went out and found the two of them in the park, lieing in the grass and staring at the clouds in amazement.

Just tell them you're a potential Parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats and invite them in for a chat! Works every time for me

OllyK,

If the Satanists were as good mannered as the Jehovah's Winesses, I would politely tell them that I was not interested.

We are all entitled to our own beliefs without the need for insults.

Of course they are - but that doesn't give them the right to pester me on my property and try and force feed me thier beliefs. When they cross that line then they will get short shrift.

Actually it's a pagan festival hijacked by the Xians who don't know what year christ was bourn never mind the day. Indeed most non-Xians would actually like to see some evidence (outside of the gospels) that he ever existed.

I usually make them an absolutely awful cup of tea.(add vinegar) Then watch their faces when they take their first sip. Then keep asking them is the tea alright etc. Usually leave pretty quick

There's gotta be JW's a few on SN - after all what about JW Racing

Don't JW's believe JC (Jesus Christ) was born in September?

The holy trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost are believed to be "one" by most Xians. It gets complicated but the anomolies, inconsistencies and contradictions just get worse and worse if you don't, mind you they are pretty bad to start with.

I think the JW's tend to be a little more literalist than most other Xian based sects TBH. I'll have to have a read up on them some time.

Some key points from here

• Belief in Deity
There is one God Almighty--a Spirit Being with a body but not a human body. There is one God and no Trinity.

• Incarnations
Christ is Lord and Savior, but not God (Jehovah) incarnate, not a God-man but inferior to God, not part of a Godhead. He was a created spirit being, God's only begotten son, sent to Earth as a perfect human. His sacrifice became the "ransom" price to redeem mankind from sin and death. God created all in heaven and on Earth through Christ, the "master worker," God's servant. After Christ's resurrection by God, he was "exalted" to a level higher than angel.
At least they are not as nutty as the creationist mob
• Origin of Universe and Life
God created the heavens and earth in six days, but each "day" is equal to thousands of years. God created and controls all processes and events.

Not sure if aimed at me, but the point i would like to make is that i don't want my game of Need for speed underground 2 spoilt by some god-botherer knocking on my door.
- the annoying suit-wearing, watchtower wielding, couple caused excess damage to my maxxed up focus on my final lap to victory.

suffice to say, i told them i wasn't interested (in less words!!!)

...prob gonna be struck by lightning now.

may everyone believe what they like, just dont bother me with it.

i fank you
