    Change your sales tactics, Jehovah
    . http://www.news24.co.za/City_Press/City_Press_Leaders/0,1885,186-189_1151992,00.html
    Jehovah sent a bigger brigade than usual of witnesses to Yeoville yesterday morning, determined to badger sinners into converting to their faith before the Second Coming. You couldn't miss them even if you didn't believe in the First Coming.

    Maybe somebody should tell Jehovah to change his (or her) sales tactics. It's not nice being accosted by a persistent salesperson when you are carrying five litres of wine, and then the salesperson sets the agenda for the discussion and seems unconcerned that you may be in a hurry.

    Presumably one is not supposed to be rude and tell Jehovah's would-be witnesses to buzz off or they could enter the Kingdom of God before the Second Coming.

    I must be missing something. Been here in my new cave for nearly 9 months and never been woken by the dubbies yet. Course they'd have to come before 6 am to wake me and the missus up! Actually, I'd love for them to come a knockin. A good slice of warmed over fundy for breakfast always starts the weekend right.

    I used to be accosted by the Witnesses on the street corner all the time. There are a few places that they can't preach/missionise, such as shopping malls and office buildings.

    I'm suprised that the dubs haven't turned to spamming/telemarketing. That sort of aggressive marketing sounds like it'd be right up their alley (but let's not give them any ideas, hehe).

    xyzzy,

    I've noticed, though, that there is a shopping mall near my home where they are allowed to sit at a table with a display of literature and wait for people to come to them. I never see anyone talking to them!
