More Mormons

[ComedyPilot]

No just those trying to sell things as I stated. Obviously children trying to get balls back are not selling me anything. I was not aware I was not able to dislike cold callers my most humble apologies I shall forgo control of my own front door henceforth.

No, I meant the people I don't like opening my door to...not you.

We had a Mormon family next door but one to us and they were very polite and charming people. Mrs Mormon used to pop around to visit now and again but I always felt a bit bad as they don't drink tea or coffee. I had a nice cuppa and she had juice. She never once tried to 'sell' me Mormonism but as my church was next to hers she maybe felt that she didn't have to.
I am nice to Jehovah's Witnesses too. I never slam the door in their face. I just say that I am committed to my faith and am not looking to change, neither would I suggest that they change their beliefs, then offer a cup of tea and a slice of cake. They make their goodbyes and off they go, not a cross word uttered on either side. They probably think that I am a nutter though

I have often wondered why Mormon Elders are about 18 years old but I am guessing that they have been Mormons since birth and are off out in the world to spread the word. A big shiny badge saying 'Mormon Newbie' would maybe not be so convincing to anyone who was interested.

They annoy me to death. I have no issue with anyone's faith, but strongly object to them then knocking on my door every week. I suffered this a couple of months ago and in the end got very shirty with them. They seem to have taken the hint. If I wanted an imaginary friend I'd shop around.

There are two girl Mormons always stopping people in the street near where I work. One of them is absolutely stunning.......so I always stop for a chat....

I like anyone as long as they don't knock at my door.

Hitler didn't knock on your door... Do you like him? I rather get the impression you might.

I am outraged. Simply outraged.

I'm outraged that people on this forum (THIS FORUM) would pledge their undying affection for monsters like Adolf Hitler (ADOLF HITLER!!).

I suppose you're saying you'd happily strive for Anschluss, occupy the Sudatenland, take over the rest of Czechoslovakia through military force and then invoke the secret clause of your Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin and invade and occupy Western Poland?

And what about France and the Low Countries? Do you have no qualms? What have these innocent, cheese-loving people ever done to offend you?

Would you stop there? Of course you wouldn't! Before we could blink you'd be steaming into the USSR (if it still existed), blithely and unilaterally revoking your pact and condemning millions (MILLIONS) to death.

I have only one question for you mister Comedy (?) Pilot: Can you sleep at night?

Excellent thread title though.

Followed by borborygmy no doubt.

And an excellent new word for me - I didn't realise how boring a word 'rumble' is until I discovered 'borborygmy'!

I had one when I snapped a couple of spokes on an MTB enduro many years ago.

It happened about 20 miles from the finish and by the end the mysterious bing I heard with every revolution of the wheel had driven me almost insane.

If I was going to be a Mormon, I'd have to change my name to Norman....

Would you also become a bouncer at a nightclub?

And maybe chjange your suname to Gorman?

You could even start doing a little act in quiet moments at work... a sort of performance.

In for a penny...

At least as a cyclist you get to enjoy tea, cake and beer and bacon. Imagine a life without those pleasures just because your invisible friend in the sky told you you can't have them.

The MP for Macclesfield is a moron, oh sorry a Mormon...... Damn predictive text.....ahem

 

[screenman]

I like meeting new and interesting people so I have no problem with them

It's worse than that - it is because your invisible friend in the sky (allegedly) instructed somebody else to tell you that you can't have them!

Your definition of the word 'interesting' is clearly more flexible than mine!

Beware of fake Mormons!
