God Botherers

Were out this weekend.

Saw them from my home-office window making their way down
the road. 3 generations of a family, in 2 groups,
Grand-dad, Dad & 2 sons together, Grandma, Mum & Daughter
in #2 platoon.

Having some time to spare I decided to have a play.
- I won the female platoon, brandishing Watchtower.

The conversation drifted towards creationism, and I must
have said a trigger-word, because no sooner was 'Dawkins'
out of my mouth and Mum was instructed by Grandma to 'get
one of those booklets out please'

So I was presented with a 32 page pamphlet entitled "Was
Life Created"

It reads a bit like a school primer on evolution. The
arguments for creationism are a bit predictable-repetitive
"Is it not too much of a coincidence" type lines. The main
thrust of the argument being that, they admit that
individual 'species' may adapt/evolve over time, but that
no Different Species (or 'kinds' as they and the bible put
it) can evolve from another 'kind'

What was mildly surprising was the summary "Science and the
Genesis Account" which actually criticised the
Fundamentalist Christians for taking the bible too
literally! they admit that the 6 'days' in Genesis are
figurative, and could represent millions or billions of
years.

 

You sad ****.

I see the JWs have an even more flexible interpretation of God's word
than they used to have. All to ensnare even more people. We get them
all the time but I don't answer the door anymore. Nasty, nasty people
if they think you're "weak" enough to succumb to their pressure
tactics.

 

One of my cousins got involved with them, then tried to get away and
time after time got 'sucked back in' apparently they take someone
straying from the flock very seriously indeed.

Eventually they dragged her mother in, but eventually the mother
escaped. A bit extreme though, she had to die to manage this.

I think my cousin is still entangled with them.

 

I heard a knock at the door, so ushered the dogs into the living room while
I opened the door. "Be fucking quiet" I said to them as I closed the door
before opening the front door.

Stood there were two bible bashing grannies and one said "Oh, were you on
the phone"?" I said "No, I still AM on the phone" and they handed me a
leaflet and walked away. I didn't even have to **** 'em off in the usual
UKRM stylee.

The leaflet looked like a pizza delivery advert so it went the same way.
Into the bin.

These bible thumping cunts aren't nearly as aggressive as they used to be.

 

IIRC, they're classed as a sect in France and as such aren't allowed to
knock on doors. TTFT, as they're tedious buggers.

Thank Thor For That?

You old Norseman, you.

 

One good thing about a repressive regime )

 

Pulling this thread sort-of on-topic, my oldest - as in longest-lasting
- mate was in front of his folks' house, tinkering with his Bonnie, one
hot summer afternoon when we were 17 or 18. He saw a couple of
identi-suits and identi-haircuts walking towards him. They turned out
to be young Mormons and they started evangelising.

Friend indicated pretty sharpish that he really wasn't in the market for
conversion TYVM, but was enjoying putting a new chain on. They just
smiled, switched rapidly and with immense relief into off-duty mode and
started talking bikes, as they had left their own Triumphs back in Utah
for the duration of their exile. Friend learned a lot that afternoon;
none of it about Jesus.

 

They never seem to knock on my door, which is a shame really I am sure
we could have an interesting albeit short discussion. They did call at
L's place whilst she was out and I answered the door but not being my
house I was fairly polite.

 

I've said before in this NG that working in Provo, Utah I found the locals
to be most friendly and hospitable. They all have to go and do 2 years
prozletizing but back at home, just normal Joes. Except they are TT.

OK they are quite insane.

 

Thank **** the ragheads don't purvey their evil cult door to door.

 

Excellent news. So, we've had 6 billion years of Earth formation and
evolving, so now the Sunday can last for another billion years.

They don't have to. Just breed the numbers.

You are joking, the other sunday Osama bin laden knocked on our door.

He was a dead ringer & before he started spouting, i said 'I thought you
were dead' him & his mate starting laughing

I had two turn up on my door step in Germany.
They were freezing cold in the wrong gear, soaking wet as it was pissing
with rain and trying hard to speak to me in German having done a two
week course in German conversation.

I felt sorry for them, answered them in English and said they could come
in to dry off and warm up. I would make them a decent cup of coffee but
all this was on the condition they did not in any way talk about
religion/ Mormons unless I specifically asked the question.

They looked at each other and quickly agreed.
They were as quiet as a mouse.

 

Nice to see the French have correctly categorised them. I have seen
their "seige" tactics in play more than once - including with my mum -
and it is entirely in line with the strategies used by other cults.

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel wibbled forthrightly:

I don't suppose that they were in a position to argue.
