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?

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
