Had a knock at the door a few minutes ago. A guy and a kid on the porch. He's laughing. "Don't worry, I'm not a Mormon or a JW. But I am a Bible-believing Christian." Then he tried to hand me a tract!

"You're in the same category as the rest of them!" Slam! He had this unbelieving look on his face as I shut the door, as if this couldn't possibly be happening. Sheesh.

Haven't had anyone like it call here for years. I think they must have given up on the area as a lost cause? :ask:

Well, if they're keeping the door-knockers away, leave 'em, I say. :tup:

This door knocking malarkey is perfect for a certain type of fundamentalist. The constant rejection, the slamming of doors in their face, reinforces the fact that they are right and have special access to their god and a truth most of us have no access to. I am sure the rejections sends shivers of pleasure down their humanity denying, zombie death cult masochistic little spines.

I know it gives them a thrill to get a door slammed in their faces, but hey, we had a movie ready to watch and they were getting in the way of that. :nono:

I'm still savoring the look on his face when I notified him he was no better than the JWs. He was completely stunned. How fuckin' clueless can you be? Oh, wait...

They are rare these days. The last lot I had were a big disappointment.
Very nice, but not too much. Not at all pushy, just friendly.
I liked them and felt sorry for them, and they probably felt sorry for me. Whatever happened to the pushy assholes we used to know and love?
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
