shit... yeah... *shudders*

ourselves look good in the sight of our god by pretending to welcome you
into our sheepfold? Well, fuck you!"
I love how the prissy girl corrects everything the guy says... but she's
the first to use foul language when the going gets tough... yeah, I bet she
was appalled at her own imperfection, and was probably more unlivably
"perfect" for a week afterwards, to make up for her horrible slip-up...

well... I can understand why they got upset. while I don't agree with
thier actions after being hit with water baloons, I had to remind my self
that they are still human. true they shouldn't have used foul language and
they very much went overboard. but they never claimed to be perfect. i'm
sure any one else would have gotten angry if they where out doing something
they felt charged to do and, suddenly came under attack, even if it was
just a few water balloons ____________________

I don't know... while I must admit I would have been mad as hell if someone
just started pelting water balloons at me... still...
The thing is - when the pair first knocked on the door, they just OOZED
phoniness... chirping trite welcomes... I don't think it actually has
anything to do with what religion they belonged to, or what they felt their
duty was... it was the sheer fakery of their smiles... the huge front they
were trying to present... and to see it all melt away with just a little
water-ballon barrage (and not even hitting them... just splashing at their
feet)... well... THAT is what is so satisfying about it...
In essence, they were being door-to-door salesmen, trying to sell something
they didn't have... which is fraud... and they were exposed... |

Recently I had the Korean Jehovah's show up at my door. Usually they just
smile and realize I'm not going to be able to understand what they are
saying, apologize and go on their merry way. This time one of the women
spoke perfect English. She asked me my name and I asked her very politely
but very slowly if she was selling god. She seemed very confused and said
she was not selling god. I asked what they were about and she pulled out
her bible. I sighed and just closed the door and what back to my naked
heathen work out.

it makes sense that they would put on big smiles and try be overly polite
(at first any way) because usually people would respond better. clearly if
it's not done right the whole thing comes across as completely fake. If
they had come to the door with bad attitudes maybe i could feel that thier
balooning was justified.
Those guys could have easily just closed the door and gone back to what
ever they where doing. ____________________

I agree that thier "persistance" ,for lack of a better word, would get
really annoying after a few days, but i still think that the water
balooning was unwaranted. |

with "no soliciting" signs? they were begging for it... they're lucky they
didn't get a shotgun... next time they should put up a "trespassers will be
shot* sign...
hmmm... makes me think of the Flem comics... anyone else remember those? |

I remember those, all too well. I read them like a religion and lived down
the road from the author. Then, without warning, he took his healing light
from us like an angry god whose creations partook of the fruit of the tree
of teh funnay, and we felt darkness for the first time in our lives. And
we wept. Oh, how we wept. ____________________ Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time. |

The religious people went way over board when they got pissed off, and they
didn't exactly live up to the idea of a good Christian, but I kinda wish I
knew what had been going on in the few weeks leading up to the water
ballooning incident. I couldn't hear what was said very clearly on the
video, so the guys with cameras might have said something about what they'd
done previously, but I think the water ballooning was a little unwarranted
if they hadn't already talked to the people and explained that they weren't
interested in what they had to say, and asked them to leave them alone.
Having a no soliciting sign is all well and good, but I thought in general
that appealed to door-to-door salesmen, and while a comparison can be
drawn, I doubt the religious people see it that way. I mean, you wouldn't
even have to -say- anything, just tack an addendum on your 'no soliciting'
sign that says you're not interested in anything religious either, and if
that gets ignored then water-balloon away. I think that unless they had a
warning of some kind then it was unfair to water balloon them, but the
unfairness kinda gets dwarfed in the stupidity of their response. They
definitely come out looking like the bad guys, but who'd have been the bad
guys if the religious people just stayed calm and tried to avoid the
balloons while asking what the guys thought they were doing? No-one likes
religious shove-their-beliefs-down-your-throat types, but it costs nothing
to be polite and explain you're not interested. If that doesn't work, then
do whatever you want, but at least give them a chance to do the right thing
and leave you alone. ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |

Yeah, I got the no soliciting signs bit, but you didn't say what they did
previously during those two weeks. I mean, did they ignore them? Talk to
them? Ask them to kindly fuck off?

after two weeks of someone from teh same cult coming around and waking me
up day after day... please note that they had the water balloons
ready...
Signs that say no soliciting and no tresspassing... they assume that they
are immune to teh edict... Like I said.. they are lucky ... second time, I
would have sicked my dog on them... 3rd would ahve been airsoft... 4th
would have been paint balls... by the end of two weeks, I would have
answered teh door with a home made flame thrower
ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPOGLJZJrDo&NR
people deserve to be treated with the same amount of respect they show
others... if they cannot respect somethign clearly posted... and INSIST on
waking people up... then they do not deserve any respect...
respect is like honor... behave like you have none... and you will be
treated like you have none ____________________ The earth turns on a tilted axis - just doing the best it can.
