See post 26 where a YANK mentioned it.

So I don't always read all the way through.

But in mitigation, no yank who posts regularly on here is your average yank.

I do think there are some Amish or Mennonites though somewhere around that area in Ohio if I remember correctly. They used to come to the Dayton Mall.

It saddens me that they no longer want me to join their church though; it might have been something I said.......can't be sure.
Since I live in Salt Lake - which is templeville, I will happily offer them your name again - highlighting the fact you have missed them. They will then stop sending those mercenaries... I mean missionaries to my home. They will be building a honking big temple in a lovely neighbourhood near you real soon. All those homes close by can enjoy bright light from the church's spotlights 24/7.

I have some relatives who are Jehovah's Witnesses, which actually comes in handy, because it means my parents never get any of them knocking on the door. Probably because they know they'd have more chance converting Osama Bin Laden to their cause than my Dad.

I had some Jehovahs Witnesses come round the other week, very polite couple, although they weren't to be dissuaded by the usual cunning plan of pointing at the mezuzeh thingy on the door frame and saying "My wife's Jewish mate and her mothers here, run, while you still can".

The chap said to me "Well could I just read you a Psalm?" I said.. and I have no idea why... "Sorry mate, it's a bit early for me". They smiled rather sadly at me as if to say "you're ****ed and you just don't know it" and wandered off.

Anyone had a run-in with some Scientologists? Waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy worse than Jehovah's Witnesses in my experience.

I am probably in big sheet with the man upstairs for not attending my propoganda services for the past many number of years but thanks very much anyway.

All you have to do is make up a fuzzy leather bag and shove some wishbones and junk in there and offer a challenge to the blessed that you both call up your Gods and see who comes first. I have been known to chase a few folk away doing that. Helps that I lived in Africa for a spell too.

Default Re: I'm an Agnostic Get Me Outta Here !

we're going to be having friends over for a bbq in a couple of weeks...a motley crew, mainly brits and Aussies with a handful of yanks thrown in...now do I invite my highly (but not quite in a Dugger kind of way) religious, but very nice neighbors?
At the moment we all get on very well...this could put an end to all that...should I care?
