When is the 2nd Coming - Coming? - Page 2

I had two preachers on my doorstep yesterday-I always am quite abrupt with them, which isn't like me at all-whatever they believe I don't think trying to shove that down other people's throats is right -it's not as if non-believers are doing them any harm so being disturbed from whatever I am doing so they can try to convert me is annoying.

I used to hate it when they dragged me to the door, they still knock even though I had a sign on the door saying my Alsatian loves Jehovah's Witnesses, but he can't eat a full one. These days I don't have to bother going to the door, I've an intercom system and I can tell um to sod off from the comfort of my chair

Can't see it happening any-time soon if at all, it's this whole "Virgin" thing. Their timetable is shocking & as to the prices! Ol' Beardy Branson has got some explaining to do!

Why do they carry on believing something that doesn't exist?

Power, control, & gullibility started it.

I needs me one of those!

I do too, I think it's really rude to disturb someone in their home to try to inflict your beliefs.
Love the sign lol- I should have invited them in-we're doing the house up at the moment and there's so much junk and rubble hanging around it looks like a crackden-and himself likes 'Gothic Memorabilia' should I say swords and knives would probably give them a good impression

Mrs P tells me the AA have been knocking on doors up here in Clayton trying to sell breakdown cover. (true) For a moment when she mentioned it I thought the men in white coats had come about my drinking

When they come a knocking it's quite simple you say,

"Oh hello are you the Morons or the other lot ? Never mind, the agency did tell you to bring old clothes & aprons didn't they, these sacrificial slaughters can get pretty messy & you wouldn't believe the problems we have trying to find virgins round here so we usually have to make do with one of the old dears from the home instead."

Funny they don't want to hang about.

Was n old Priest at St Josephs when i was in me teens n older (Father Rimmer) He told me this when i went fer wedding instruction, He said, i was talking to these Jehovas Witnesses this afternoon fer oer 1 hour, n after they had just left, a elderly woman approached me going nuts cos i was listening too em, I said listen i woulda talked fer even longer,if they hadn't give up, Whilst they were talking to me, They converted no-one.

Cracked me up big time.

Last time I had bible thumpers at my door,

I said 'You can't sell religion here'

She said 'We're not selling anything'

I said 'You can't give it away here either'

...and shut the door.

I sleep a lot in the daytime, and got really peed off by hawkers etc so I got a custom made type of Do not Disturb sign made for me on Ebay. It says 'I NEED TO BE ALONE BUT WILL TAKE IN PARCELS'.

Lol morons I like that one. My cousin is a Mormon. I was upset when he converted, if I'm honest.

Good one-I might invite them in next time and just pretend to listen for a couple of hours whilst going about whatever I was doing before.

I'm often asleep or resting during the day too so unless I've invited someone or am expecting a delivery it's especially irritating to have people knocking on the door, disturbing me and winding the dog up lol
When I answered the door they said 'Oh sorry is it not convenient'..
I'm not sure why they said that-maybe they say it to everybody.
