Oh God! Not Again.

My low opinion of the JWs has dropped another notch. No, It's not because they caught me off guard. I usually see them coming and stand in the livingroom window, arms crossed and my head slowly shaking a non-verbal, "NO!" but they have been avoiding my house for several years (yes, I actually see them walk past my house). Years ago they used to send out a pair of middle aged men to try to convert the unfaithful. Then they tried it with young men. Next they tried the woman's touch and added a female to the mix. They are still coming in pairs but now it's a mother and daughter team. The mother stood at the bottom of the steps while her little girl, who looked no older then 10, proceeded to brightly explain that she had come bearing an invitation for me. Totally caught off guard I said thank you and accepted the folded pamphlet. I hope they come back. I want to tell that woman I think it's disgraceful that she uses her or any child that way. I think they got tired of people being nasty and slamming doors in their faces. They think people won't react that way towards a sweet looking, little girl. I suspect there are going to be a lot of traumatized JW children before they try another pairing.

My grandmother once replied to their question "do you believe in god?" with "no, I believe in the devil." They left.

We get more Mormons than JWs but even they have been staying away.

I tell them that "I have been to Paradise. It is an island in the Mediterranean."

Oh spare me the hypocrisy found in every organized religion. It turns me
off big time when supposed Christians lie, cheat and steal and then have
death bed conversions.

One JW couple sent their two squeaky clean, lovely-looking pre-teen children to our door. They waited in their car. I told the children we were not interested and they left. I try not to take it out on the kids -- they are being manipualted. I told Ed we should have asked them in, locked them in the spare bedroom, and, when the parents came to inquire, said "What kids?" Anyway, aren't they taking a chance? We have a bay in the back. Glug.

The world as we know it can't end until they have knocked on every door and given everyone a chance at eternal life in Paradise.
