Wow!...Woodsy, that's quite a statement! In fact, that's the first time
I have ever heard anyone say they 'didn't mind' Jehovah's Con-men.
I fancy you will be alone on this one...but all praise to you for
stating boldly thoughts no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Oops..slipping into 'Poe' mould now!

Speak as you find, Woodsy. For me though, I would rather not be found,
in order that I don't have to listen to their 'speak'. I rate them
alongside warts and such in order of preference.
Ugh...nasty slimy things who just never shut up. Is JTEM a 'Witness'?

You've got to be kidding...please tell us you're joking. My parents bought
a mobile home from a 'refreshing' JW family who, uh, 'live as they
preach', as you say, and they lied about the home, hid the problems in it,
and left my folks with some expensive repairs to do. Of course, maybe that
was just a 'bad apple' in the bunch, but it has left a bad taste in my
mouth ever since...

I actually find JWs to be quite refreshing. Although I don't believe
what
they believe, they are not hypocrites and live as they preach. I could
do
without the preaching, but it doesn't really bother me too much coming
from someone who walks the walk and who tries to engage you and does not
try to bring about laws that will force you to live the way they think
everyone should live. They really believe that these are the last days
and
that they are performing a vital service to you to save your life. (Of
course, according to them, only the 144,000 chosen ones will go to
heaven,
and that won't be any of us, so we'll live for 1000 years in a paradise
Earth. Then everyone gets a chance, and after that, you're either in
Heaven or cease to exist - there is no belief in Hell in JW).

My sympathies Mondo. I've been attacked by these rabid things at times
too. They have a disconcerting habit of either not listening, or
ignoring that which you say, in order to drone on, and on...and on,
about their 'point'.

Umm..reminds me of Steve! ;)

Anyway...sledge hammer them...:)

Ricky

Yeah, that's really effective, Wolfy. A good hard rap of the hammer over
their heads, or even sideways. Zombies are only killed when you target
their heads. Crack open their skull caps.
Same with religious zealots...especially the JW.
I finally got rid of the JW creatures back in 70s after several months of
assault on me ( after I foolishly let 'em in). They were so SURE the
world was to end in 1975...so very confident of the date. And one of the
first things they DRILLED into me was -- God doesn't answer prayers
unless he's called by his REAL name - Yahweh.
Heeheeheehee...he's offended by any other name, they said. I just had to
tell 'em finally: "I don't want you to come by anymore, and please leave
me alone."
It didn't work...they left me alone for a couple of weeks, then MORE of
'em came knocking!!

After months of this barrage, they just stopped coming, but the mail
assault continued for a year or so past that.
