Well, that was quite pleasant.

'Just had some Jehovah's Witnesses round for an hour. Talked about the bible a lot, they were quite content with my contesting about three things in every paragraph of their pamphlet ("What does the Bible really teach us?"), which we got all of 10 pages into as we got derailed so often.

Poor lads seemed terribly pleased that I did in fact invite them in and have a natter. It was all a little bit like the scene in Black Books where Bernard invites the lads in to talk about Jesus (here, about half-way through), actually.

I'm interested to see how they talk about homosexuality, as JWs appear to be really quite against The Gays.

Sneakily recorded an mp3 of us talking, but as they were really quite chilled (I'm sure they will ramp things up in subsequent weeks), it's not actually very entertaining (unless you're a fan of listening to a brummie accent going on about cyclical arguments and a cockney agreeing, then repeating them).

They did try the odd Jedi Mind Trick, like getting me to read a few paragraphs of their pamphlet with them (I assume, the first step to us all reading the bible aloud together)... for my part, I intend to try to get them into drum and bass and playing the Wii.

On the up-side, Corben LOVED having new people and voices discussing things animatedly, and lay there giggling and gurgling and casually shitting himself. For an hour a week of happy baby-time, I may consider converting.

This is not the sect you are looking for.

If you're looking for a baby pleaser, why not try speaking in tongues?

"and lay there giggling and gurgling and casually shitting himself"

This is why the Church is so popular with pensioners.

Awesome! You should get a video camera set up so you can do a series of them!

I used to work with a "witness" (this is how she described herself when she told me on a work's night out that she "understood what it was like to be different cause I am a witness". I asked her bluntly, "to a crime?") and she was really sweet actually but very ignorant of the real world as she grew up in it all.

She told me that the church would actually be ok with it but when I went home that evening from work, my mum told me that is what they tell you to join and they would then try to "convert" me and "reform" me in some way.

That creeped me out.

Ah Scott.
I haven't laughed so much at a post in many many months.

I think you should try and get them drinking a little or perhaps other things!
Ruin the pair of them. Perhaps they will send more to find out what happened to the first two they sent. And so on...

You could single handedly wipe them all out.

One thing though. If any of those fuckers turn up with a child in tow that is blatantly not theirs please call the cops. There are so many reported cases of kiddie fiddling amongst these groups it's really very concerning.

Hope you found the dummy in the end.

Funnily enough, I did a few sessions of that recently with the local mormons - had some interesting discussions, some cyclical arguments, and generally re-affirmed my faith in the non-existence of deities. It was awesome.

Bum them!

*ahem* I may be a little cranky today :D

A friend of mine adopts Mormons. They're all 18 year old boys who are away from home doing something they'd really rather not, so it is not hard to turn your house into a haven of pizza and movies and the Bible tends to slide a bit.

She and her husband have fun with this, and a collection of photographs in which the Mormons appear to either be freshly killed or begging for their lives at the barrel of a gun. Sometimes it takes a few pizzas to get them to agree to pose, but they always do.

Sounds like half the munters in Islington Green on a Sunday.
