Heathens we are.
So 2 latter days saints come to the door and get scared.
I was hoping for more of a fight cuz I don't feel well and I like to argue, but man, they sucked.
They told me what they believe and I told them what I believe. I asked them if they believe in the laws of the bible and how they felt about the war between Isreal and Palestine.
They said God promised them that land so those people have every right to it if they lived their lives righteously.
Even if it means killing other people who currently live on it?
Yes because god promised them the land.
I talked about invasion of privacy and intruding on other peoples property and they didn't care.
They signed up for 2 years of service to go door to door and preach the word.
I mentioned to them that even Jesus Christ himself didn't go door to door, he walked in the streets and said people hear my words. If they wanted to listen, they went to him.
They talked of 1,000 years of peace and no death and no suffering.
ex-roommate and I were both tempted to ask what happens after the 1,000 years, like horrible death and massive suffering, but we thought better.
After 10 minutes of talking, I thanked them for their time and told them that I just wasted 10 minutes of their time that they could have been using knocking on other peoples doors because I felt so strongly about this door to door thing. They asked if I felt this strongly about commercials and I said yes and ex-roommate blurts out, you should hear her yell at the tv.
They said "We'll take you off our list."
Yeah, take me off the list and you suck at your job.
They didn't even try to save me.
I'm so bummed.

I had a friend years ago, whose room sat against the front porch. The window where is his bed was made it easy for him to just open the window and greet people if the doorbell rang while he was sleeping. As you can guess. One day, Jehovah's came knocking at the door. When he opened the window (full well knowing who it was) he made sure that his boxers were open just a little when he started talking to the guy...
Heh, you can bet the guy never came back.

Yeah, I don't get the whole thing where they think it's okay to kill because God promised it to them. And, God promised 72 virgins to who is it? Muslims? Lol. *wonders how she can get God to promise her Bill Gate's fortune*...

Dude, I haven't had a Jehovah come to the door for a full year after that last time I opened the door and screamed like a banshee that that I was a fucking atheist trying to fucking sleep!...bwahahahaha

Exactly. I don't get it either but these guys were like God said they can have it, it's their land. I'm all more wars have been fought in Gods name than for any other reason and their all well if it's for god and it's righteous then they can do it. I'm like shut up.

Kat, that is one of the most awesome things that I have read in a while.

I live for this kind of stuff Josh. Love it. Wait for it. I saw them coming and got excited. I was hoping for a battle royale like the Jehovah's put up but no such luck. Damn.

Well dang how is killing living righteously?!? So God says it's ok to kill people for land promised to them? I doubt it...isn't the first commandment Thou Shalt Not Kill? Morons!
Posted by: Kelly | October 26, 2004 6:25 PM
That's what they said. See, this is one of my major problems with religion. Everyone interprets the bible the way they want to. If it means killing in his name then that's what they will do. Bizarre.

Lmao You rock my world. Seriously. I love how you deal with these people.

I just don't think they have the right to invade my property or my time with questions about whether or not I'm saved. I don't think they should be allowed to go door to door and do this. It's like soliciting, it's bad.
Posted by: kat | October 27, 2004 10:53 AM
I agree with you. They should not be allowed to do that. When the bible says to "witness" I don't it meant to go around harrassing people like that. I do consider it harrassment because you tell them no, and they just keep on wanting to shove their crap in your hands.
I think I should get some copies of pagan books and start giving it out to them. I have a couple here, hmmm. Might not be such a bad idea.
