Gross them out, and they'll leave

[ladyapple27]

gipsydreamer's post about Jehovah's Witnesses reminded me of an encounter I had with them many years ago. I was getting ready to leave for work and let them in the house before I realized that they were on a mission to save my soul. Because they were polite, I didn't want to physically remove them, but they just wouldn't leave, and I was going to be late. My cat, Smoke, came to the rescue. She jumped up on the coffee table and noisily coughed up a huge, disgusting hairball. Gagging, my visitors ran for the door. Their spirits were willing, but their bodies couldn't take any more.

Haven't seen one since we moved thankfully. I used to just yell for one of the kids to get my ax.

My father used to say that there are only two good reasons to own a gun. Shooting bears and shooting Jehovah's Witnesses.

I never could understand how you could accuse people who don't believe in the devil of devil worship.

There's always good old fashioned blasphemy.

I had Mormons coming to my door all the time...then one year around Christmas when they were just so sure I had been lying to them about not believing in God one of them asked why I had a Christmas tree. But I am too fast thinking for that. I said I didn't like getting into religious discussion with people because of the looks I get. Confused one of the young men said 'what do you mean?' 'Well, I am a witch you see....that is my solstice tree. Now, if you don't mind, please leave me alone...You interrupted my annual sacrifice ritual to The Goddess" Then I closed the door. I have not seen another Mormon since.

Really, I only have a Christmas tree cause I like the pretty lights...LOL

During my high school years, Mormons came here on a mission trip. Yep, they put us right up there with a third world village. We have a family friend who just can't stop talking. Full of devilment-pun intended-we steered the Mormon recruiters to her house. They didn't escape for several hours.

In all honesty, I have to admit that I get along well with most mainstream Mormons. They have some admirable qualities.

yes...I have many mormon friends....my youngest has a best friend who is a Mormon. They don't bother me in everyday...just when they knock on my door over and over again to try and save my soul....I have even had different groups of them knock on my door 3 times in the same week....thanks but no thanks.
