A couple of years ago some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door
early
on
a
Saturday morning. The spokesperson of the group asked, "Do you have
time
to
be saved from eternal damnation?" I thought for a minute and replied,
"No,
I'm too busy today. Maybe some other time." She looked stunned and
in
a
sarcastic tone she said "You're too busy to be saved." I replied,
"Yes."
She left a Watch Tower and moved on to her next victim. Now when I
see
them
coming (they always come in groups of a couple women and a man. The
women
always have huge purses.) I put our big male shar pei on the porch and
close
the door. They have never dared open the gate on the porch. I guess
saving
people from eternal damnation isn't worth the bother sometimes.

The Jehovah's Witnesses on my side of town are only interested in
Spanish
speaking converts. Whenever they rattle the gate, they always ask if any
Spanish speakers are in the house. I always respond, in Spanish, that no
Spanish speakers live here. They say thanks and go away. Works every
time...... }:-)

I don't know why they are so persistent. As I understand it, they believe
that only 400,000 people will make it to heaven. Surely all the spots are
filled already.

Maybe those who get the most converts get to move up on the waiting
list..... I'm happy that no gringos need apply from my neighbourhood......
When I was about 5 years old, a JW came to the door and wanted a donation
for a copy of the Watchtower. One of the acceptable items was a bar of soap.
When my mother found out what happened, she grabbed me and caught up with
the con artists around the corner. My normally mild-mannered mother reamed
them good for taking advantage of a little boy. That has always stuck with
me.........
