Out"witnessing" the Jehovahs
Seems to me that there is some sort of takeover going on here in Rosarito. First came the platoons of realtors which as far as helping any of the
locals go, they just don't.
Then came the jehovahs witnesses. Now I don't mind religion, it keeps people from murdering and robbing. But, I don't particularly enjoy having it
delivered. If it came with Pizza and beer, I would be a little more receptive but it doesn't.
Yesterday, they arrived And immediately seemed to think we were long lost
friends.
After taking inventory, I realized that I knew where all my friends were so none of them were long and lost. These were new guys.
Then, after everything I had to say, and then listening to what page my comments were on in his "little black book", I asked them what exactly they
are doing to help the locals.
They are spreading the word to the world. Eternal peace for all who follow and blah blah blah.
"No, but what are you doing for the locals now?" I replied. "Many of them are hungry, with no jobs, and no health care benefits". They need action!
" Did you make the bamboo rack?" Yep, I use it for transporting bamboo, clothing, food, school supplies, baseball gear, insect repellants and damn
near everything you can imagine rural folks needing.
That was the end of my harassment by the delivery guys. In fact, I may have converted them!
We will see if my next issue of the Watchtower comes with Pizza and beer

Was visiting a friend when the Witnesses knocked on the door... Butch said "invite them in". We welcomed them into his home, made it obvious we were
locking the door, then Butch calmly but determinedly began putting back together the handgun he'd just been cleaning - all the while looking from them
to the gun and the box of bulllets nearby. When he made a move to reach for the box, those Witnesses nearly broke the window to make a hasty retreat.

Invite them in, pop open a beer, turn on the TV to a football game, light up a cigar, (loud burp) and tell them that this is how you practice your
religion and invite them to join you!

I think.....
a simple "no thank you, I have my own religion" suffices.

We live up a fairly long dirt (or mud) driveway and no solicitors show up except there were some jw's...I asked if they minded if I drew pentacles on
their foreheads when we talked...and mentioned something about witchcraft...they've never been back!

I remember feeding beer and shooting some pool w/some young missionaries once. We were working on my buddy's car out in a pretty rural area and these
two kids show up and want to talk God. We tell there's beer in the fridge and a pool table inside and to help themselves because we're working. They
hit it for about 2 hours and left happy. Take into mind we were only 17 ourselves... I wouldn't do that now.

I consider all people on this planet
as equals. Unfortunately, that usually only lasts until they say something
Sometimes, I am surprised.

JW Welcoming
We were sitting around with a keg one day when we saw some JWs coming up the street. My buddy decided he would answer the door. They knocked and he
threw open the door, totally nude and beer in hand. They looked pretty shocked and despite his pleadings, they wouldn't come inside.

My mother is a Witness and she is a pretty nice lady. I would rather have people come to my door now and then to profess their beliefs than force them
down my throat through the political process. At least witnesses are non-political. I have heard their dogma for years and do not buy it, especially
the idea of Truth with a capital T. However, they do me no harm and I kind of have to respect their level of faith that carries them to the doors of
some pretty, shall I say, interesting folks.
That said, please keep your pants on when my mommie knocks on your door. Usually a simple "not interested" and a gentile closing of teh door will
suffice.
By the way, my witness cousins are the hardest partiers I know. They got some strange ideas as far as religion goes but they are a Fun group.

In all my years of living in "the bible belt" I have never had a JW come to my door. Maybe it's the "High Life" door mat. While I feel like I've
missed out on this rite of passage, maybe it's like jury duty. Once they find you, you can't get rid of them.

the current issues of Watchtower and Awake? I just happen to have them.

Ok, I don't feel that left out. I did see them standing outside the grocery store though, and I wondered why they looked like well dressed
drug dealers.
