Knock! Knock!

[OKCitizen]

Do you get visits from the Jehovah's Witnesses? Do you accept their Watchtower and Awake magazines and read them? What are your experiences when dealing with them at the door?

[Thunder]

I can show you. Give me your address.

[OKCitizen]

Are you a Jehovah's Witness, Thunder?

[Luke]

In my three years at my current home, we've never had JWs knock on our door.

[Lauri101]

The last time they came to my house (5-6 years ago), I saw them coming and stripped down to my underwear to answer the door.

They've never been back, not even on my street!

Good style. 10/10

Not officially baptized, but you could say that I'm a friend.

JW's are not permitted to "solicit" in our apartment complex, but they do leave their magazines in the laundry rooms.

[Stan Silliman]

Always glad to see the JWs. Roger and I are in an Armageddon Fantasy League and the Watchtower has the scores.

[OKCitizen]

Well, they do have the 144,000 anointed of the Heavenly Hope on their side. Doesn't look good for you.

[redcup]

I usually sic my husband on them. He is/was Salvation Army out of Texas and can usually match them bible verse for bible verse. I have seen them walk away shaking their heads and reaching for their tylenol.

[Luke]

...reaching for their tylenol.

Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

Haven't seen a Witness in almost two years. I briefly worked with a chap in 07 who was JW. Nice enough fellow, but he went on to another gig shortly after I arrived. I dunno, maybe cause I'm large they worry I might think they would be tasty, so they stay away.

[Midtowner]

Nice folks, but doesn't their theology teach that when the rapture comes all th non trades-people (like me) will simply vanish as we'll be unnecessary?

[Luke]

I've heard they've sold out of their 144,000 tickets to heaven so now it's pretty much nosebleed seats for anybody else.

[Thunder]

Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

I'm taking at least 5 each day the past few weeks. The fever just will not stop! At least it helps me to get around. Dangerous? Nah!

[Bostonfan]

A few years back a couple of JW women knocked on my door. One was an older woman. The other looked to be in her 20's. The 20 something year old was one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. I was in shock. I let them babble on with whatever while I stared at her(I thought what the hell, there at my front door). Needless to say, they've never been back.

[bretthexum]

I must have a bullseye on my front door. they've been at my house 3 times in the past year. I told my wife I'm going to answer the door in my banana hammock next time. That should throw them off.

[redcup]

Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

knew someone would jump on that !!!!!

[OKCitizen]

JW: Knock! Knock!
Homeowner: Who's there?
JW: Jah!
Homeowner: Jah who?
JW: Jahwanna Watchtower magazine?

I let them in, and we talk. I don't necessarily believe what they believe, but I just generally enjoy learning about religion, and I allow them to state their case and I listen with an open mind.

More like orchestra pit (of hell)

[kevinpate]

If heaven has nosebleed seats, does that explain sunsets?

You're wondering who we are; why we have done this; how it has come that I stand before you - the image of a being from so long ago. Life evolved on my planet before all others in this part of the galaxy. We left our world, explored the stars and found none like ourselves. Our civilization thrived for ages, but what is the life of one race, compared to the vast stretches of cosmic time?

We knew that one day we would be gone, and nothing of us would survive - so we left you. Our scientists seeded the primordial oceans of many worlds, where life was in its infancy. This body you see before you, which is of course shaped as yours is shaped, for you are the end result. The seed code also contains this message, which was scattered in fragments on many different worlds.

It was our hope that you would have to come together in fellowship and companionship to hear this message, and if you can see and hear me, our hope has been fulfilled. You are a monument, not to our greatness, but to our existence. That was our wish - that you too would know life and would keep alive our memory. There is something of us in each of you, and so, something of you in each other. Remember us."

[kevinpate]

perhaps, one day...
