Good for you in helping your fellow humans (that term may be used loosely) get the help they need. Although a little fake blood could help the situation.
Take care,
Jay

Yikes! I wish I had read this 10 minutes ago! The Mor(m)ons are here at my secured apartment complex buzzing every button. I made the mistake of going downstairs in case it was a friend or my cousin needing something. They were nice enough, so I was as polite as I could be considering I was very busy and was rudely interrupted by their door buzzing. Anyway now I know there is a prophet living amongst us today just like there were back in Jebus's day and this fact has blessed their lives so much that they had to bother me about it.

Did they actually say that about the prophet living amongst us? If so, you should've said, "Shhh, not so loud...You saw what they did to me last time." If they balk, say, "Prove it isn't me." Just a suggestion. Take care, Jay

That is now officially copypasta. Gimme credit, at least it's ADMITTED copypasta.

I have a RL incident to relate, regarding JWs.
It was the day after Halloween, and a couple of JWs approach me and a couple of friends.
JW1: "Have you found Jesus?"
Me: "Yeah. He was at Rumours last night..." (Rumours is our local gay bar, FYI.)
They just kind of... walked away... after that.

My last experience with the JW was last summer. The encounter went something like:
JW: Have you found Jesus? (Don't they teach them better opening lines?)
ME: Yes, I'll just go get him for you...
I went back inside the house, shutting the door in their faces. I waited 15 minutes or so, hoping they would take the hint and depart, then opened the door again. They were still there.
ME: Er, I'm afraid Jesus will not be available for some time - we had a really vicious curry last night and he is stuck on the toilet - but don't worry, I remembered to put a toilet roll in the fridge last night. Can I take a message?
They departed.

I was tempted to call my latest Rottweiler Jesus (hey it was the J litter).
That way when someone asked me if I found Jesus...
Why? Did he get out of the yard? Yeah, he's right here, Jesus say hi!
I wasn't sure if the breeder had the same sense of humour that I have.

If anyone saw the latest episode of "Big Love" then you could use something from the temple ceremony to scare them away. Answer the door with "What is wanted?" or say, "Health in the navel, marrow in the bones, strength in the loins and in the sinews. Power in the priesthood be upon me and upon my posterity for all generations of time and throughout all eternity." I did that and they have stopped showing up, even though their apartment is down the street from me. My barking dogs are usually enough to scare away the JW's, as is wearing a "Super Donor" t-shirt I got after donating blood.

I am waiting for them or the mormons to show up. There's a mormon temple kinda near where I live, and the JWs have a habit of coming around my neighborhood. My grandpa's got a system where our neighbors call him if they get a visit, so we never answer the door for them. Well, except for me.
I'm waiting for a visit. Honestly hoping for one. I'm a guy with hair halfway to my ass, a massive untamed goatee, who listens to death metal, has no problem with blasphemy and has a habit of wearing a black leather trenchcoat. I'm sure I could scare the everloving shit out any JW that comes to my door. Once, my relatives told me they scared them away - permanently - by saying they worshipped satan. I can definitely go a lot farther than that.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Honestly, if you're going to be dickheads to anyone, do it to someone like the proselytizing Mormons that wander here, there, and yonder. I was once a Witness myself, and I am actually offended by how the whole world seems to villainize them. Of all the religious people I have EVER met, they are by far the nicest, most caring people in the world.
You don't have to go out of your way to get them to "go away" most of the time; just ask them nicely to not visit you. Nine times out of ten, they'll leave you alone and, get this, PASS THE WORD ALONG.
If you actually took the time to talk to them, and learn about their beliefs, you'll see that out of all the Christian sects in the world, theirs is probably the one that gets closest to a "caring God."

I'm a former Pioneer, and I disagree. Theirs is the God, who will wipe your memory of all your loved ones who didn't make it into the new order, just so you won't have to suffer with the knowledge that they're not with you. There's something purely evil about that..., it actually causes my skin to crawl, more so than even the reward/punishment system of most Christian sects. So, I'll take eternal damnation to mindrape any day.

Granted, there are a few assholes; but can you honestly say that a fundie Witness is worse than a fundie of any other flavor? At least they don't condemn bad people to eternal suffering. When you die and are judged as "bad," you're just forgotten. You cease to exist, which is actually kind of merciful in my book.

I don't consider fundie Witnesses worse than any other, I consider them all the same. I remember one of the first things I noticed when I left, is just how similar witness talks are to any other sermon. Not specifically what's said, but the tones, and the styles. I've yet to see a religion who isn't identical in how they deliver a message. And as I explained, I consider it worse than eternal suffering. Because not only do you simply, cease to be, but its like you never existed. Consider that concept for a moment, seriously consider the idea that you're a parent, and your child decided not to follow the 'truth'. You make it to paradise, and suddenly the child you raised, you loved, that you would die for, just isn't. It puts a knot in my stomache the size of my fist. If we don't have our memories, our own minds, then how can we even consider ourselves human? How could we know anything for certain, if our memories can simply be taken from us, to the degree that a parent would not even remember their child? Everything we know could be an outright lie, manufactured to simply keep us complacent.

FatherKarras, I think you'll find that NOBODY here--even the religious members--will take kindly to people soliciting their religion door-to-door and trying to force it on others.

That's the thing though, they don't try to "force" anything, at least not the ones I've met. They just tell you, and leave the choice up to you.
