Preaching

As much as I appreciate somebody trying to guilt trip me into believing.. is there any need for this on broadway?

Oh dear, the Young Conservatives aren't out in Accy again are they?

Thankfully, due to suspected swine flu, my trip to town has been cancelled.

Religious preaching margaret on broadway in town through use of a microphone and loud speakers!

wow is Accy turning into Manchester?

you get this all the time in Manchester Centre, if we believe then we believe if we dont then we dont need it shoving down our throats

has the person got a sandwich board attached to him/her by any chance?

reminds me of something from 'oranges are not the only fruit'

are they filming a new version of it by any chance?

Are you suggesting that religious freedoms should be curtailed?

Sounds very draconian.

Who'll be next, that is to be silenced?

Perhaps they leave the old sinners alone, and concentrate on the young, and woefully naive.

I think it's quite sweet watching people preaching. Of course, i think it's sweet from a great distance becasue I wouldn't go anywhere near them with a barge pole. But, I do think they have the right to do it if they want.

Personally, the ones that annoy me are the door to door type. If people are on a pedestrian area in a town they're easily avoided but knocking on my door they aren't so easy to avoid.

Of course I'm not. Must be the fever getting to you.

No matter what they are shouting over their loudspeakers,
I object to uneccessary noise

Then as was pointed out, you are free to walk away.

Unless of course they'd given you a tambourie to shake.

Then you must first wait for the song to finish, hand it back, then be about your business.

As fare as I'm concerned they can do what they want, so long as they don't come knocking on my door, now I do object to that. A few years ago I was in bed under the weather when a knock came on the door, I dragged myself out of bed walked to the door and asked who it was, a voice said I need to have a word with you, must be important I though, so I put my dressing gown on and opened the door, it was a bloody Jehovah Witness, Never seen anybody move as quick in my life and I ain't seen him since. I don't mind any religion but please don't try to push it down my throat on my own doorstep
