Mormons calling /.........JW at home!

    A couple of days ago, whilst getting ready for a late shift at work.....Knock knock on my door. I opened to find 2 suited and booted blokes about my age standing there. Before I could say further than hello, the taller one said "Now I know what you must be thinking, you think dressed like this we're Jehovah's Witnesses out to give you a magazine, but you needn't worry, infact we're here to share with you the true gospel of Christ"............ Actually I said, I didn't think you were, however I'm JW (ok not strictly true as inactive), and I didn't think you were the windowcleaner either. To say this sort of pissed on his bonfire was an understatement......However we got into a discussion about the Bible. I found it difficult to get them to stick to the Bible as from what I understood from them, they think the Bible is ok as an older revelation from God, but the book of mormon has somehow replaced it and is more relevant and updated.

    It would be hypocritical of me to claim to be JW in the true sense, but against these Mormons, I did feel a little of the old me come out. (like it does on this forum from time to time!) Anyways the upshot was after 25 min, I agreed that they could come back anytime, and I placed the latest Mags and the Knowledge book with them...........................My question is who has the "return visit" here..... LOL. Anyone else had this experience?

    Well, not with Mormons, with some guy peddling "wordly" magazines. He said, rather rudely, "Don't worry, I'm not a (notice the term which follows) Jehovah Witness."

    I said, "I am".

    He was, quite literally, stunned speechless. I guess he never expected to encounter one on the opposite side of the door.

    I didn't buy any magazines. But I didn't place any either.

    I had a good old debate with 2 mormon missionaries when I was a JW, I thought I did pretty well at refuting them but at the end of the conversation they said "Well Pete, it looks like we ripped you apart there, perhaps we can call back another time and do the same thing again?" humph.

    Another time I was fixing a womans kitchen for her (I was JW) and the door knocked and she said "Shhh thats probably those flippin Jehovahs witnesses, I never answer the door"

    Awwww Brum, I reckon you just did fine. I reckon you did that well that they were just trying to get away from you...... On the other hand was you playing Boogie Wonderland within earshot of them........again I reckon a good response.

    I used to work in Our Price records (now taken oven by Virgin) before I started my nurse training in1991, and I had this manager who made my life hell for being JW, it didn't help that during that time his wife began studying. Eventually he got promoted and I didn't have to deal with him, later just before I left to get a more worthwhile career, I used to direct customers to Woolworths. Guess I thought at 18 yrs old I was getting back at him. Last I heard he got the sack for nicking cd's. The crown on it will be for him to be admitted to my ward. Nah.....I'm not that bitter after all this time........Or am I? lol
