This morning I had the bike on the drive, giving her a health check, I noticed a group of people going door to door (Jehovah’s witnesses) an elderly man & middle aged woman approached & the man seemed quite enthusiastic, he asked “can I have a look at your bike?” Being the nice friendly chap that I am I said “yes” he asked lots of questions about the bike & then came what he must have thought was the opener,”to ride a machine like this you must have a lot of faith in your riding” I laughed, he then said “do you have a faith?” To be fair when I told him that I thought religion was more trouble than it was worth he smiled & wished me a good day.

I worked with a chap once who was a witness, fair play to him he never ever tried any conversation about religion at work, but was always going to various gatherings about it.

He did however mention the day the Mormons knocked on his door and he invited them in for a discussion. Now that was probably quite a laugh.

I always tell them I’m a left-footer and they always bid me a cheery farewell.

One time, it was two women and I invited them in for coffee just for shits and giggles. Well, I was mid-twenties and these two were quite fit. About an hour later, their concerned husbands knocked on my door asking if I knew where their wives were. It was all good fun but I think they were initially mildly alarmed at my knowledge of the occult. “Know thine enemy”......

Years ago I was in the garage cleaning my guns. I heard them knock the front door so I called out that I was in the garage, they came to the open door to be greeted by me with a set of barrels in my hand, the lead guy says I hope your not going to shoot us, I said it depends if your going to try and talk to me about religion or not. They bid me a good day and left, they never called again.

I was on the front driveway polishing a couple of bikes and a pair of young well dressed ladies, mid to late twenties, stopped outside of the gates and said hello to my dog that had wandered up to see who was walking past her garden. I said hello to them, being pleasant as they were very good looking. As soon as they spoke to me I realised they were Mormons, softly spoken American, but I was being polite (something I’m not noted for) and we had a brief chat, mainly about the weather, the bikes etc. They didn’t attempt to engage me in religion, perhaps scruffy t shirt and torn jeans meant it wasn't worth their while. But anyway we continued to talk and I asked if they would like a tea or coffee or something - then my wife walked out the front and had the bloody cheek to ask the girls if I was bothering them! They laughed and said no and goodbye. I was proper pissed off.

I did a VERY similar thing..
Invited them in, and had a long conversation about why I believe Jesus was an alien, and his technology made him a higher being..
When they left they were arguing with one and other..
Apparently this was enough to get me black balled for many years

They have started calling again so it is proly time to do it again

I send my "callers" to old John down the road, he keeps them at it for hours, he says it gives him something constructive to do, keeps them from knocking on anyone else's doors !!
