please use accurate taxonomy in our communication Member 871, 469 posts SQ 240, BP 137.5, DL 262.5 640.0 kgs @ 89kgs Eq	If you're really bothered, invite them in and engage them in a discussion of the vagaries of Scriptural transmission. In my experience, this encourages a swift exit.

Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	I get home from work every thursday to find a s**t load of leaflets through the letterbox for pizza places, taxi companies, double glazing and local MPs. All i do is pick them up and put them in the bin - lifes too short to get stressed out over stuff like that.

Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210 682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq	I had one and he asked if I was religious, and asked me if I wanted to go to heaven and live forever and see all my family after they had died. I replied that living for 70+ years was more than enough for me and that I have no desire for an afterlife, they soon shut up.

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts	Post Edited: 16.05.2010 @ 19:47 PM by nico I don't get annoyed by Jehovah's witnesses. If it were a daily occurrence this might be different, I suppose, but one every few months or more doesn't bother me. My wife being an anxious sort lives in fear of them. Not for any religious reasons, simply because they popped round about 15 years ago when she was a student and left a book and some leaflets. when they didn't come back after a month or few, she threw the stuff out. She is worried that they are coming back for the book and that she will be in some sort of trouble. Mind you, I do keep telling her they are coming for the book every time we see any out and about The one that really annoys me is cold-callers. I can imagine what a mind-numbingly awful job it must be to sit in a call centre with someone looking over your shoulder putting the pressure on, but I do struggle to stay polite sometimes.

They tend to come round mine about two or three times a year, we always have a chat, sometimes about religion, sometimes not. Then they go. No need for unpleasantness or insults in my experience. Life's too short for rowing with strangers over nonsense. Now there's a refreshing attitude. I like the JWs. I'd rather have them show up on the doorstep than my relatives.

On a personal level, JW's are usually very nice and polite. But to me they seem like frightened, brainwashed sheep. They are also being totally selfish by making visits to strangers.

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290 665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	As far as religious zealots go their fairly harmless. I dont worry that JW's will kill me or my loved one in an act of terrorism . I do find the fact that they want to come onto my property and try and convert me to a ridiculous faith system down right rude but it only takes me about 2 seconds to say 'no thankyou' and shut the door in their face.

31.6 and Obese !! Get in.... Member 869, 1355 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 97.5kgs Eq	Why does anyone feel the need to wander the streets forcing their opinion on others ? I believe in science rather than 'fantasy make-believe' and quite strongly at that, however I don't enforce my views on other people... well apart from my kids.

But to me they seem like frightened, brainwashed sheep. They are also being totally selfish by making visits to strangers. This year, I'm teaching A Level Religious Studies/Philosophy (which implies nothing about my own beliefs). So far, the typical atheist student seems equally as brainwashed - by the prevailing secular zeitgeist - as the religious ones. I understand what you mean about selfishness, but from their point of view, they're being the opposite. Spreading the word and all that.
