Well done.


That's 35 minutes on their "witnessing card" instead of one minute.


A good way to invite another visit.

You certainly can. Of course, not all J-Wits call on a Saturday morning either. And not all travel in numbers (like Tusken Raiders). However, if these three things are in evidence all at the same time it adds-up to an indisputable reason not to get as far as opening the door.

I wrote to the leader of the local church that knocks on doors and junk mails with leaflets containing a ridiculous combination of protestations of love and threats about hell (presumably if you do not accept the love). I was a bit of an arsey lawyer about it. Told him I revoked the implied licence for him or his flock to come onto my property and asked him not to trespass.


He was absurdly "I will be gracious and grant your highly unreasonable request" about it, but, no more knocking...

Honestly, I don't mind as they're well meaning people IMO (mind you I do work most Saturdays)


And sometimes I say "not today thank you" and they politely leave.


I quite like it that "person in towel and socks witnessed for 35 minutes" is written somewhere.


Makes me smile.

Anyone whom thinks it's perfectly alright to attempt doorstep indoctrination at anytime is seriously maladjusted.

And should be treated with a fair amount of caution and equal amount of ridicule.

Pity and fear these folk and all of similar ilk, extremism manifests itself by degrees, these mild mannered, suited and booted terrorists will hijack your reason, if allowed.

Beguiling and demure with their Cheshire cat grins. Be-aware fellow forumites your Saturdays are sacrosanct!

They will get you for that. Trust me.

I read an account of a visit to a JW 'service' by a clinical psychologist and he said they used techniques of speech that psychologists use.

Worryingly, there was an advertisement for the Church of Scientology on tv last week just caught the last glimpse- anyone else catch that?

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
