As for thinking the OP was weird for cooking lunch at 10:30 or indeed, bullshitting - I doubt they were as presumptuous as me when I did a very short stint as a postie. When on a walk with the regular guy I spotted a guy sat in his lounge heartily quaffing a can of beer at around 7:30am. As we walked away I asked if the other postie had seen the bloke drinking and what a shame alcoholism was. He smirked and informed me that it was the beginning of they guy's evening as he'd just finished night shift.
I know; cool story, right...
A polite "no thank you" usually suffices.
My Grandad was Vicar. He used to invite the Jehovahs in and try to convert them. 3 or 4 hours of cups of tea and I'm certain they wanted their world's to end right there.
The JW's would bring cake and biscuits to my wife's grandmothers house and spend afternoon's talking to her. We never knew who was coming round for ages until we found a magazine in the bin as she was well gone with dementia.
Kept them from bothering someone else and she enjoyed the company.
teasel, martymac, I hope you're both doing okay.
Thank you.
Yes, doing fine thanks, i didn't realise that such behaviour was actually really weird, it was only when a (nonjw) friend who I'd hung around with since school, told me in my mid 20s what he really thought of my religion, that was a real eye opener.
I still have a few witnesses on my fb, but their choice of religion never gets mentioned.
Its a free country, they can choose what they want to do, just like i do.
I dont engage in any kind of conversation when i see them outside buchanan st bus station, and I haven't had them round my door in a decade. Im never rude, something I can't say about 'some' of the witnesses I've met.
Interestingly, all of the ex witnesses I've met have been properly polite and never tried to convert me to their way of thinking..
I have a pair of huge, spiked and locked gates at the start of my drive.
Keeps everyone at distance.
