I did something last Sunday morning and am not sure whether I should be damned for it.
Picture the scene. I am on the way home from my walk. I'm a bit footsore, but happy because I have been thinking about my football club on and off for the entire two hours I've been out.
I am walking down our street with the newspapers and spot two people coming towards me who I know to be Jehova's Witnesses. As they prepared to greet me, I get in first, saying :
"You want to talk to me about the big issue, don't you?".
Faces light up at this point, but they quickly fall when I immediately launch into a summary of the week's events at Bloomfield Road. Not only is it not what they were expecting, they appear unsighted on the major issues for discussion.
They try to move the conversation onto God, but then it completely gets out of hand. Not only have they not heard of Marcus Smith (PBUH), but they appear to think I'm being frivolous. The younger one accuses me of "Wasting their time with my narrow priorities".
At this point I'm afraid I rather disgrace myself, by observing that "it is about f***ing time they realised how decent people feel every time they knock on the front door".
Am I guilty of mocking their religious views? Have I cheapened a serious debate? Do you wish you had thought of it first?
Over to you. [Post edited 3 Jul 2019 20:52]

Next time, try stabbing one before offering to take him for a blood transfusion.

I think it's a bit tight to refuse a blood test for a loved one who's dying.
It'd be a test of their moral stance.
Apart from give a percentage of their wages to their church, I'm not sure what else they do, or don't do. | |

I may have mentioned this before.
Because I live down a long lane with no neighbours, I rarely get visited by them. However after 21 years, two turned up, and I greeted them with "Brilliant! I`ve been waiting for you!" They seemed rather pleasantly surprised by the welcome.
I asked then to convince me that God existed by using ontological argument only, and without referring to the Bible, which I suggested may be unreliable.
I wasn`t trying to be rude, and offered them refreshments, but they didn`t stay long and had difficulty with the concept of not using quotes from the Bible as a crutch. Without that they had nothing to say of any note.
I was going to move on to the problems they have with correctly predicting the end of the world.... | | | |

Start off with a chant of "You're just a poor man's Scientology". While reeling from that test of faith, tell them you know of a new secret squirrel religious "order", however to join, you need to answer two simple questions, "Rangers or Celtic?" and "Smoke Bombs or Flares?" | |

It’s your life it’s your time,speak as you find to anyone who imposes on your time
They once came to my door when I was in ‘times of distress ‘ they gave me a leaflet and said they would call back the next day and check up on me.
Never saw them again   think I was a salvage too far! | |

Thanks to BRR, I've started to win the weekly Tuesday night strip scrabble games. | |
