Jehovah's Witnesses On The Streets !

[mikey4444]

Earlier this week, I made a rare visit to a McDonalds for lunch and I noticed a large free-standing perspex leaflet holder standing outside in the pouring rain, full of JW stuff. Inside, in some seats closest to the door were some obviously JW-looking people. Perhaps I don't go to McDonalds often enough but I have never seen that before !

And today I saw something similar outside my local Lidl ! On both occasions they appeared to be having no takers but I did wonder if this meant that we will not be plagued so often in our own houses on a Saturday morning ?

Easy gavmacp, you're getting carried away now.
I've said before, I admire the JWs dogmatic persistence against what must surely be a daunting task of getting abuse and door slammed in the face.
Why not a simple "No thank you" and close the door.

A couple of years ago I was in Sydney and was amazed at how often we were accosted by JWs out in shopping Malls. That was getting annoying. That was when staying friendly became a hard task, and I felt sorry afterwards for losing my cool.

Sounds like the carpet sellers in Istanbul, Wildwood.

How did you get knobs through the censor!

They are good people. They have been knocking on my door for nearly forty years. We have debated theological concepts over tea and biscuits many times. I've Seen them come and go. All mean well. I've been to one of the large yearly congregations. But it is not for me, and never will be. They deserve top marks for tenacity. After all from thier perspective they are saving your soul.

I wrote knobs ages ago and it got censored what has happened?

Knobs

I have a lovely pair of brass knockers , Victorian I think, if anyone is interested ;-)

I think the Ed team have woken up to the fact that certain words have innocent meanings as well as salacious ones.

The JWs call it Kingdom Publishing. They have to do so many hours a week else they will be drummed out of the Brownies.

keyplus90 - "... [Jehovah's Witnesses] used to come and knock on my door. I would usually take whatever they give and thats it. Now I have printed a few copies of this and I give them to read when anyone comes to my door..."


The irony is sublime:
A group of brain washed religious god-botherers knocking on the door of another brain washed religious god-botherer. One dismisses the other with "proof" that the knocking religious god-botherers are wrong by producing a pamphlet written by another god-botherer that says that the other god-botherers are wrong.

Classic!

I normally find Joeboes to be fairly innocuous these days - had a few interesting debates with them though I do consider them to be a 'cult'.
You gave Muckdonalds your money?! ...fascist ;)

[birdie1971]

"Joeboes"

Not heard that before.

[mikey4444]

Nor me !

[Answerprancer]

..it's a term of endearment ;-)

Jehovah's Witnesses have set up these leaflet holders outside main line London railway stations. The public are welcome to take leaflets, but no discussion is forthcoming - so I'm told.

[Retrochic]

I'd rather be stopped in the street by a JW than a charity mugger -at least JW's can politely take no for an answer.

The Bible does speaks about practical jokes. playing of such “jokes” that result in embarrassment, injury and perhaps even loss of life, is not really considering the welfare of others.

No, the Bible states: “Just like someone mad that is shooting fiery missiles, arrows and death, so is the man that has tricked his fellow man and has said: ‘Was I not having fun?’” No one who values God’s viewpoint wants to be classed with “someone mad.”—Prov. 26:18, 19.

Imagine not celebrating your birthday !

Around here, they come in large groups and what gets me is they have small children. The poor little kids being dragged around.
