MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A man who allegedly exposed himself to missionaries last week is facing a new indecent exposure charge almost 10 years after he was arrested for driving naked around Memphis.
Hi Daryl, my mother has been a Witness since 1970 and tried to raise me as one. The answer to your question is yes. Each Kingdom Hall has routes that are visited by the same Witnesses. The Witnesses take notes about each address so if you answer the door drunk, stoned, naked or use profane language or threaten them they will mark your address as one to avoid. After 5 years or if they see a sign that new residents have moved in they will visit again. DO NOT quote the Bible to them, they consider that an invitation to a theological debate. Al_in_Ottawa
My Dad taught me to treat JW's and other door-to-door missionaries gently, as he was raised JW and therefore was _required_ to spread the word. Going door to door and otherwise bothering strangers was terrible for him, and I think anyone with a normal personality. For example, once I was approached in a Kroger parking lot by an apparent young famine victim with a shaved head, robes, and face frozen in fear. (I gather that usually Hare Krishnas worked in largish groups for mutual reassurance, but there couldn't be many in Grand Rapids so this kid was alone.) I politely talked about Krishna with him for a few minutes, so he could check off one sales pitch delivered.
But interactions with JW's could become funny. Dad was on their books as a lapsed JW, so they'd visit regularly and try to "save" him. When Dad bought a cherry farm, usually this visitor was a dairy farmer from nearby. So one year this guy shows up on the morning of December 25 - to JW's that's just another day and definitely not Jesus's birthday, but to us that was Christmas. Dad had added a small herd of feeder calves to our farm, so he was out in the barn tending to them. Mom told the visitor that he needed to talk to Dad in the barn, and he went out there, and Dad put him to work, hauling bales of hay and buckets of water while talking.
Once, long ago, I was visited by Mormon missionaries on a Saturday morning. I was doing what I usually did at that time of the day on a Saturday, to wit, fucking my girlfriend. "Fuck this" I said, and went to answer the door, wearing what I had on (a condom), and carrying my bedside gun. There was a long straight flight of stairs leading down to the half-glass door, so they were treated to the approaching vision of my bare feet, naked body, and handgun. And they waited for me to answer the door! "Oh, this seems to be a bad time, sir" one said. I told them to come back after lunch. And they did!

Missionaries, I wonder if those were morman Missionaries? Anyway, I wonder if that would scare the Jehova Witnesses away.

This creep needs to be put away.
ReplyDelete“It’s not like me, I’m a respectable good Christian,” said Albritton.... Ergo, It was God's will... Case dismissed.
