Doorstep Faith Conversion

[jont]

Just been doorstepped by 2 men in suits questioning my faith. We all know them. I usually turn them away but killing time before a meeting so took 10 minutes to chat with them.

After 10 minutes of intended direction I made the "leader" admit by his own reasoning that all other faiths and Gods are the work of Satan. He did not like this trap and stopped him in his stride. He openly confirmed this :eek:

He is hoping the neighbour will slam the door in his face like they expect.

At least it shows they're not the brainwashed automatons they seem. Still weirdos though.

I do something similar with liberal democrats. Keep them talking for about an hour on the doorstep so they have less time to spread their "message" to others.

[jont]

All these doorstep canvassers (religion, politics) do not expect the householders to have a brain or more knowledge on the subject than they do.

I like you plan with the political canvassers ... will try that next time :D

The other thing to do with Jehovahs is to cross yourself. This to JW's is the sign of the devil and it is fun to see them blanch, turn tail and run screaming up the road.

My wife was a JW when we met, she's not anymore, her family still are though. They are certainly one of a kind in my experience.

pmsl at you two!!

I'm taking notes.
Mind you, no one is ever brave enough to knock on our door. They'd usually either get the glare of death from me or be greeted by a naked 5yo answering it instead!
Strangely, neither appear to be appealing!

Some true facts about me:

My telephone number of my childhood home (and still my parents), has 666 in it. My current land line has 666 in it. In my life, I have had THREE different bank accounts, all with the string 666 in them (in fact, I still have one). My uncle, who lives in Philadelphia used to live at no. 666 - he moved to another part of town (still PA), and now lives in house number 667 (I call that the neighbour of the beast).

I've never even met a JW. They don't come to my house. I don't know why.

other faiths and Gods are the work of SatanAhh that reminds me of the fabled "is hell exothermic or endothermic" chemistry exam answer which uses that conjecture. Google for it.

Tell them you are an insurance salesman and welcome them as long as you can have equal time to talk to them

[leehack]

Now that is funny, cheers Norm :D.

Two happen to live in the same street as I do although at the opposite end but the advantage of having them so close is that they never canvas their neighbours :D

As for the politicians in my neck of the woods they simply resort to leaflet drops by the faithful rather than risk a good dose of common sense and questions that they simply cannot answer.

Does anyone have a way of dealing with Safestyle chavs?

The devil is in you.

*IN YOU*

Repent, or forever burn in the firey... err, fire.

p.s.
My dad rocks. Bitches.

[Rich Brady]

I had one the other week, dragging an 8 year old little girl with her. As if that was going to make me jump on their religious band wagon.

[leehack]

Not at all Jules, she's not one anymore and besides you didn't say anything millions of others don't, so you can't be wrong lol.

[completerookie]

Thank god for atheism :o

Usually, a thread degrades into weird religious speak over time.

This one seems to be all about it from the get-go.

Excellent work, in eschewing the traditional pub conversation algorithm, into such an efficient form.

I'd just like to extend the olive branch to any serious religious people watching. No offense intended by the residents, I'm sure.

:cool:

[gabrielcrowe]

Although I'm sure someone might be offended by my impersonating the son of God.

:p
