I noticed two things:

The missionary is always a woman with good english.

She's usually good looking.

I learned, mostly, that if a good looking woman comes out of nowhere and starts talking to you, it breaks down:

If she's young, she's doing a survey for english class.

If she's 30 something, she's a Jehovah's Witness.

Lounging in my shorts one sunny afternoon, I had 3 of them at my door: One man and two women. The two women immediately moved behind the door so they couldn't see me. Maybe it had something to do with the body jewelry or simply seeing nipples. Most women stare in awe of my perfect chest, but not these.

Many times, while waiting for a train, I've been approached by someone, usually a young man, who'd politely ask if he could sit next to me and chat while we were on the train. I always agreed--they seemed harmless enough and I was bored. After a pleasant conversation that would usually end with the train arriving at my destination, they'd offer something for me to read, which was always the English edition of The Watchtower. I'd accept the pamphlet and that was that, no harm done.

I tell them I'm a muslim.

When living in Boston a loooong time ago, I dated a guy that was a Jehovah's. It didn't go to well because he would call my apt. and leave five minutes messages about how he wanted to save me.

The thing I like about that particular religion is their insistence on giving their deity a name, Jehovah / Yawweh. It brilliantly shows the absurdity of religion. If there is an entity in the universe that we can label as 'God' it doesn't have a name (or a gender, a kid, writes lousy books full of absurdities, etc.) When I talk to Christians now I always make a point of avoiding the word 'God' and instead talk about 'Yahweh'. If a religion's god has a name (Zeus, Odin, Baal, Yahweh, Krishna, etc), you know it's made up.

Couldn't agree more.

I must look like a person who needs saving because I can't seem to get away. It has been 3 or 4 weekends in a row that I am walking down the street and these guys keep running after me and won't leave when I say a polite "no thanks." I have to keep telling them to "go away" before they get the hint. What a nuisance!!

I have had them try to push past me into my apt when I opened the door too. My hubby put an end to that VERY fast.

It drives me crazy. I am not going to switch religions just because you accost me in the streets.


OK, rant over.

What I like about these neo-Christian groups (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Moonies etc.) is you can see how religions begin. Every traditional Christian agrees that Joseph Smith was a charlatan and trickster, and that all neo-Christian religions are made up. Yet they fail to apply their critical dissection of these new religions to their own faith, which was, at one time, also a new religion.

A few months ago, my wife and I were cornered by two girls and a guy in Homever. They were pushing regular flavor christi-insanity. It was a nice day, I was a in a good mood, but our ice cream was getting soft, and we had a longish walk home. So while they had my wife and I cornered, rather than be rude, I just stared at her really, really big breasts. We're talking double E's at least. I have this theory that if you stare at a womans boobs long enough, and think hard enough, you can make ner nipples erect. She was 21 and very cute. She figured out that I was staring at her boobs almost immediately, but gamely tried to keep her composure and continued trying to brain-wash my wife. My wife has a very good sense of humor by the way. She knew what I was up to also. I had already told girlie that I was a hedonist, but my wife let slip that she believed, so game on. It was fun watching her become more and more uncomfortable with me staring at her boobs. I said, "I think it's working." My wife laughed and hit me. "What's working?' asked big boobs. "Well, I have this theory...." Wife hits me again. "Can I have this one?" I asked my wife. "Gagoo (tagalog), sira ka talaga." "Have this one?" asks big boobs. Wife hits me again, and FINALLY tells the three that we have to go....

JustJohn, you must be joking. Please tell us you are joking.

We moved into a new house last weekend. Our next door neighbor has a cross on his door that carries the name of the church where he worships his God. Which is cool and I do not have any problem with it. It's his door and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Anyway, when we moved in our door was clean (no crosses or any other religious emblems). Suddenly a similar cross appeared on our door! I just took it off and turned it upside down. The very next day the cross disappeared from our door.
