Ok I was a bit nervous about carrying through with this because my 'rat bike' is out of action right now and the only alternative was to use my work vehicle (plastered all over with my name, business name and phone number).
Ok .. it went like this, I pulled up opposite the Hall and straight away had the feeling I was being watched.
I thought I'd better be quick with a few shots and if no one turned up take my time with a few more. First I marched up the driveway and stapled santa and a raindeer on the meeting times board next to the main enterance:
I then started decorating the sign out front. It was windy so I started stapling the tinsel in place. I was halfway through when a car pulled up:
A big guy gets out puffing on a fag ..
Him: "I don't think they'll appreciate that!"
Me: "Oh it's Ok, it's only for a photo, then I'll take it down .. I'm nearly done."
Him: "What, because they don't beleve in Christmas!"
Me: You say they?
Him: "I'm not a JW but my wife is."
Me: "Well I was raised a JW"
Him: "That can be a good or bad thing, there's apostates and all sorts."
Me: That's true and the worst are called Unbelieving Husbands."
with that, he yanks my Santa thingy off the sign and starts toward his car..
Me: walking over and taking it from him .. "hang on .. I'll take that!"
Him: "I didn't catch your name?!"
Me: "I didn't catch yours?!"
Him: "My name's Eric"
Me: "Well if you want to see the photos look it up on the internet"
I then tidied up and made my way outta there only to have him follow me in his car, tiurn into his driveway and quickly run into his house (probably to call the police
You see the guy standing to the left of the silver car in the pic above? That's puffing Eric, defender of Watchtower honour (and that's probably his JW wife to the above left of him looking toward the Kingdom Hall just before I got there) .. damn I knew i'd get caught if I used a car
