WTF!

[rowangolightly]

Who in the nine hells thinks it's ok to call me during my dinner and try to read at me from the bible?

Me: Hello

Her: HI, I'm ....from .....Bible College. We're calling to encourage bible reading. May I read you a brief passage? (and then starts right into it..where upon I say,

Me; No.

Her: Pardon?

Me. No, it's not ok if you read me a bible passage. *click*

And yes, I hung up on her before I outed myself and said things that would probably get a cross burned on our front lawn.

Crivens! *Hugs* You showed more restraint that I would have! I'm so impressed!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Well, it went pretty quickly or I wouldn't said any number of things that would've been not a good idea.

Plus I wanted to get back to my chicken enchilada!

well

as annoying as they are, at least they are practicing what is preached to them.

i had a house owned by the mormons a few down from mine for years. they housed the door-to-door guys in there. i always got a new batch every few months.

i just always had my catholic material on hand to discuss with them as well. this usually kept them away. after a few years, they just stopped coming. i guess i got on their "do not knock" list.

nest time just say you'll listen to theirs if they'll listen to yours. at least the responses are entertaining.

Re: well

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Um, no, I don't think they'd wanna hear what I have to say. I mean, I'm glad they practice what they preach but I have a very good idea that they'd be less than tolerant of my beliefs.

And the Mormons don't come to our door anymore either. I grew up RLDS and know the Book of Mormon at least as well as they do.

I just really, really hate to have my peaceful dinner interrupted, no matter who it is...

For next time: "No, it's not okay. Now, in accordance with federal law, you will remove this number from your call list."

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was running through my head but it was way behind some of the more obnoxious stuff that really wanted to come out of my mouth!

I bet I know which Bible College you're talking about. They tried that on me when I lived there...while I was working night shifts.

They got introduced to some very non-Biblical phrases.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Um hmmm...I didn't catch the name as she rattled it all off quickly but I'm betting you're right.

The Bible "Business" is what Bruce calls it; they've got a frikkin' huge complex in BA with their own police army security force and everything.

Yikes!

Hey, at least *you* didn't get yourself blacklisted by the Jehovahs Witnesses...

...although, I haven't been awakend by that stinkin' knock on my door for a lot of Sundays now.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

...only because they've not knocked on my door. *grin*

[fairyoffire.livejournal.com]

Damn the phone spam!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And we're on the 'no call' list anyway!

Hi, found you through cozit's friend page, saw you were 'friends' with a few I know and like, and you seem interesting. I have to say the closest I've had to this incident was during one of the Anime nights I had at my house when we has some missionaries knock on the door. My boyfriend answered and was politely telling them no thanks we are busy when out from the kitchen you hear my roommate go very loudly, "tell them to go away we're Pagan!" I almost felt bad for the startled scared look on their faces.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

*hehehe* I can just see that but you know, I figure when they come to my door (pretty much anyone who is unexpected) they're gonna get whatever they find!

And yes, I've seen you on others of my friends lj's as well and ditto. Welcome to the stranger-than-fiction life of Rowan Golightly!

[journiey.livejournal.com]

Heeheehee You GO Girl!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I held back....I am learning a bit of discretion in my *ahem* middle age!

[kainthornn.livejournal.com]

No no, cross burnings come from white supremacist groups, when you anger the church they send people to your door in pairs, asking if you've received the holy kingdom etc... Best bet is to answer the door nekkid when ya see em comin.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

That has nearly happened inadvertently...I left the front door open and Amber's room is at the top of the stairs.

The Mormons haven't come back since then.

You could always do what Magnus Crane did when he greeted some Jehovah's Witnesses at the door. They asked if he had a few moments to speak with him and he replied, "Well, yes, but just a few or the three girls that I have tied up in the basement might try to escape." He, he, he. I think he then shut the door on their surpised faces.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

*guffaw* Thanks, that made my evening.

Oh. One problem here...no basement!

Last time we had either the mormons or jehovah's witnesses show up at our door...I peeked out the window at them and told them that we weren't interested. With that I shut the curtains and went back to whatever I was doing on the computer. My husband asked who it was from the kitchen and I told him. He said that I should have let him answer the door. My husband isn't a small man and was in his boxers. And once he would have finished with them they would be so confused that they'd think that the grass was blue and the sky is green. :P

Haven't seen them at our door since. And had they shown up last summer they would have seen me in my underwear and pregnant! :P That was the only way I could stay cool in my apt last year.

Uh

Time to have some fun. Make a call to them.

Hi I'm encouraging reading. Do you mind if I read to you from the story of "O"?

Just let your mind wander I'm sure you'll think of something fun.

[cepblionhearth.livejournal.com]

I had an old friend who used to answer the jehovahs witness' knocking by telling them he belonged to" the reorganized church of satan in the United States & sacrificed small children to oak trees". This was made very effective by the fact that he was 6'5" & weighed 300 lbs.!

While I hold no religion, I think everybody should at least respect the hours of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have no problem with people and thier personal beliefs......unless of course they try and push them on to me! Mormons probably know me the best in Victoria Tx, I used to go round and round with them just for fun. If want to find religion, then I will go look for it. Anyway I think they would get a better response if they didnt call during those sacred hours of eating. Keep your chin up.

By the way, I hope you dont mind I friended you. It was a pleasure to meet you, the Bruce, and Amber. Looking forward to meeting all of you again.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

No, I don't mind in the least! It was a pleasure meeting you, too, most definitely.

And if I may say so, you get a 'two-thumgs-up' rating from me....
