EVERYONE HIDE!
Several hours later...
That was really close. They came to both my neighbours and then left. I did tell them several months ago to never come back. I was very nice about it but I told them that I had grown up with many Jehovah's Witnesses and not one of them had stayed with the church. They all told me stories of physical abuse of women and children. They all told me stories of having no life and being forced to attend church every single day. If you leave the church you are ostracised by your family and friends. One of my closest friends (I have known her since I was 5) is in therapy to deal with all the crap. Anyway, I told the JW's to never come back because I would never become a JW. I told them that their translation of the bible says in John 13: 34 - 35,
34 I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. 35 By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.” (NWT)
Clearly they don't have love one another. Anyway, this was not supposed to be a tirade against JW's...
I am going to the sleep clinic tonight. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will finally have some answers.
Dear god, they are busy these days.
ReplyDeleteForgive me for my ignorance but I have no idea what a JW is. JW, where I live, pertain to Jay Walkers... they're the ones not following the rules while crossing the road. ^^
ReplyDeleteLOL. Oh my gosh! I just noticed there's a person on the couch! Amazing!
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
We lived in a neighborhood that was frequently visited by "Those who would enlighten us" I responded from behind the door that I was in the habit of gardening in the nude and it was too inconvenient to put on clothes in order to answer the door. They never returned. The camouflage/couch is another good tactic. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteWow talk about blending in!
ReplyDeleteHa.. I didn't notice either until I read the other comments.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Good idea Birdie. Luckily we don't get too many visits here. I always try to discuss with them, but Mr Stayingawake can be very rude to univited callers, so a camouflage couch would be very useful! So funny!
ReplyDeleteI don't have trouble with them. I just tell them I'm Pagan. They are so scared of me they never come near again.
ReplyDeleteI just don't think that people should go to the sanctity of another's home and try to coerce them toward their own beliefs. I mean really, these are perfect strangers. I have not had one in a very long time but I believe the next one that comes, may see me answer the door in my pointy hat and striped stockings. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey were just in our neighborhood maybe a couple months ago. I didn't answer the door. Our dogs go crazy whenever anyone visits so I'm sure they didn't wait long.
