I think some people here get too easily wound up. Just chill out and say, no I'm not interested.
I know their religion tries to completely denounce Jesus Christ from the 'christian' faith but kids don't send christmas cards because they are christians, or to spread the christmas message, but just as an act of kindness and then surely being kind and accepting the gift is what most religions would teach!? argh!!
BORING!!!!
Do you not realise the fun that can be had? Funnily enough I don't get them where I live in Colchester, but the next time I'm in South Essex and they come knocking, I can't wait. I'm going to invite them in, give them a cup of tea, look interested, and then show them my holiday pics ;) from last year. I just hope I have a camera as well! :D
I'm not a big lad and these bloke had to be over or aroung 6 foot after saying no several time you begin to get a bit intimidated
It's not about forcing. No-one is forced per se to join their particular religious sect. You can't just "join" there and then on your doorstep; you would have to go through a series of inductions in order to prepare yourself for complete adherence to the sect.*I have little knowledge about Jehovah's witnesses and do not have any problems with the religion itself its just the way they try to force you into joining, its just not right IMO
To quote David Icke (never done that before) "God save us from religion"......
I agree fully. They are ****ers. Why the hell do I want to be told on my doorstep where I am going wrong and all about religion. No worries what people want to believe in there own homes but dont you dare come to my place spouting religon at me. Scummers.
How ridiculed this man was those few years ago.
How right some of his statements have become.
Who's mad now?
A mate of mine has recently completed the Alpha Course and he's a totally changed person. Some for the good I must say, but an awful lot of his natural charm and exuberance have disappeared and he seems a lot more earnest in his views.
Got coerced into going on an Alpha course with the ex-bint (at her behest, of course). Managed to get thrown off it in week four as apparently I was a bit of a lost cause and "not receptive enough to the ideas of others". Which I found odd, as I happily sat through every video/discussion etc. of theirs before engaging in considered debate afterwards. The fact that I presented an alternative point of view despite seeing these 'truths' seemed to flummox them, and I happily spent the remainder of the evening in the pub, watching the football. Ah football....now that's a religion. :finger:
There's nothing wrong with being a Christian. As long as people realise that going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic...
