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?

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
