Off Topic Anything not relating to politics. A good place to cool off from all the debating.

It is part of their beliefs to share what they believe is the good news (Jesus actually tells his disciples to do this in the NT). If you do not wish them to come to your door, just tell them, and they will leave, no questions asked.

And another thing. JW's know the Bible, inside and out. Don't ever try to debate what the Bible actually says. I doubt there are many out there that have read the Bible cover to cover. My husband has, twice.

I don't doubt anything you have just said; however, the picture was still funny.

It didn't show up when I clicked on the link (it's pointing to some IP address, not the main BC site). So here it is...

It's true they know their bible. I'm bald, so I approve very strongly of 2 Kings 2:23-25, which tells me that if children tease me for being bald it's OK for me to set she-bears on them to tear them to pieces, although the police don't take the same view.

I suspect that JWs are not the only people who would not knock.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

Yes, anyone with swollen testicles probably wouldn't knock either, out of sympathy.

I was thinking of lesbians and old prudes. (I plead guilty to being both.)

I always give them the devil sign with my hand whenever I see them. hehe

Sorry to offend but I think folks who try to convert people to a faith (of any kind) to be amongst the worst people on earth.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

Why?

Personally, I think people who think that everyone should believe just as they do are some of the worst people on earth, be they Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Pagan or Atheist.
