Get a lot of these guys lurking around the housing estate I deliver to. Must've been a dozen of them today, going door to door in pairs. I'm not Religious at all -I'm quite happy for others to believe in fairies if they want to, but seriously object when they come knocking on the door, trying to berate me into believing, especially when they drag their kids along with them & present them to you when you open the door, as they were doing today.
They're annoying when I'm working, cos they're constantly in the way when I'm running from door to door trying to deliver the Mail. Also, householders see them coming & won't open the door to me, thinking I'm the God botherer. Get out of my way & stop being so damn polite & trying to engage me in conversation.  Angry
For some reason, as I tried to push past them to get to a letterbox today, one of them asked "Excuse me. Are there any deaf people around here?" -presumably cos everyone was pretending they hadn't heard the doorbell.
Obviously, I immediately said
"Pardon?"
-and he patiently asked me again.
Jeez, I bet you lot are a barrel of laughs at parties.

Apparently, Russia has recently banned them as an organised Religious Cult.
The one I spoke to today was definitely a Cult.

They have stopped knocking on our door now, I told them that I was Jewish, and as one of Gods chosen people,and as they were not of a true faith and blatant sinners they didn't have a hope of converting me. Worked a treat, they just check in their little notebooks now and walk straight past us. Cheesy Cheesy

My daughter when she was about 15, answered the door to them when I was out - she said "No thanks, me dad's in jail and me mum's on the game and I'm quite happy thanks" - it kept them away for years, they used to consult their clipboard and move on!   Grin

Silence!!! I was only winding you up. I don't like people at my door at all if I don't know them and sometimes not even then.  Grin

When I lived in the Midlands, we would get JWs, Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists selling their "religions". A mate who was a 1%er became one of the latter. The change was amazing. His marriage ended though as his wife could not cope with his new life and he found it hard to keep a job because of his attendance at meetings and proselytising. As his meeting place was around the corner from where I lived, we spent time together talking about his new views but we agreed to disagree. In the end I moved and lost track of him. My best memory of him is him headbanging to Deep Purple's Black Night with his black waist length hair whizzing around his head.  Cool

I've worked with JWs in the past and been friends with some , very early girlfriends parents were JWs and thought I was the spawn of the devil because we ran a local club. They changed their minds when he started singing in a C&W band , always out boozing ! LOL

I have no problems with anyone religions or philosphies providing hey don't try to convert me or the way I live my life. I am in fact quite likley to ask questions of their religion / faith as I like to understand their beliefs even if I chose not to.
