Door bell goes and as im sat with ds on my knee feeding him i asked dp to get the door (secretly already knowing it was Jehovah's Witnesses), so off he goes thinking its his dad popped round.

He opened the door and was faced with 2 older gentlemen whose first words to him where " Hello, Can i ask do you have a question you'd like to ask god?"

My dp thought for a few seconds and goes, " yes, how can i get rid of this flu? Ive tried beechams and lemsips but nothing shifting it!"

The 2 men stood stoney faced and persuaded him to look into his sole for meanings of being unwell Hmm i could see them through the window and just couldnt stop laughing Smile

op do you understand how a message forum works?

everyone is allowed to contribute.

You sound a little controlling.

Most people here today agreed with you, I didn't. I'm not bothered , I don't know why you are? Confused

Wheresmygalaxy it was the part where you told another poster to stop posting, that was the bit I thought was you being shirty, not any question you asked.

I don't need to jump to someone else defense I am sure that poster can defend themselves very well, I am allowed to post my opinion as this is an open forum and often threads will go on for days and days with complete strangers giving their opinion - that is why threads get to 1000 posts and then another one is started.

Your post was started by you in what you thought in your opinion was light hearted - for someone else that opinion was different and they didn't see it as light hearted and didn't see it from the angle you wrote it.

As to the fact your post was not about JW and you want to be clear about that - well it was you that mentioned them in your very first post, so I guess that is why I assumed your post was about JW (secretly already knowing it was Jehovah's Witnesses) it was you that wrote it.

ivor could you explain to that insult you just gave me?

PA? don't know what you are on about?

This thread has illustrated to me,how little many of you know about JWs.

You can bet your last dollar that if I was one, I would not be here.

How interesting. Perhaps you could expand.

I'd never mock them either since they rang on the door bell and I ignored it, but they kept on and on ringing. Eventually I answered the doors and said 'are these your car keys?'. God bless them!

"you have the option to ignore."

I should also have the option to be left in peace without idiots coming to my door trying to convert me

"MrsD can you not tell them you have joined a coven of witches and start talking about spells and shit to make them do one"

Doesn't work :(

NB. Before Feminine takes offence at that one, I'm Pagan, I'm joking about my beliefs

Dont call them idiots...just because their beliefs differ they are not idiots. As I said before, one of my closes friends is a JW........her daughter got married a couple of years ago and me, DH and DS were invited to the wedding. We were the only non witnesses there - they were a lovely bunch, the youngsters are so thoughtful and they all stick together in times of trouble.

When my mum died my friend was my rock....she is certainly not an idiot.

Anyone who keeps coming back when they are asked not to is an idiot in my book.

I've only met nice JWs. But I'm sure as with any group of people there are the good and the bad.

The point being anyway you do rather open yourself up to people being annoyed if you knock on doors.

Feminine my best friend at school was brought up as a JW so I do know more than most. I was very unimpressed with the whole thing. Her parents lost interest in being JWs when she grew up so they basically screwed up her childhood. She was taught that the world was going to end when she was 15, how mad is that?

BTW PA = Passive Aggressive.

Very glad to live out in the sticks now where we are not bothered by them. They were a pain calling out of the blue normally at inconvenient times. Now I think PPI mis-selling automated calls have taken their place.

I don't disagree with anything you have written. old

I've talked about how I don't agree with any of the teachings.

What I don't like (and here comes the boring bit) is that I don't like them to be the butt of typical

I know many of them to be warm and caring (as) family and friends.
