It's true. They don't always have crosswords.

To be honest, 90% of that entry was made up . . . so i wouldn't know *l*

Do we know one another?

No.

But they do have crosswords. Occassionally. Awake, not the Watchtower.

Did you make that up? Really? (as opposed to merely exagerating a true incident, which is what I supposed) It's a good story. I think the crossword detail suckered me in! And the cast of characters was not too far off.

Look, we are a pain, (to some people, anyway) i fully appreciate that. Yet there are evangelistic groups out there that make us look positively bashful. I did wonder at the bullhorn, to be sure. But I also know how bold some groups are.

No, it's not bad writing at all.

I used to hide whenever the Jehovah's Witnesses started their rounds. They'd ring the doorbell, and I'd be hiding out in the living room, hoping that they wouldn't look through the windows.

I don't like any religious door knockers. They can get absolutely horrible when they find out I'm agnostic. Praying for my soul and whatnot. It's sad they have to do that in the dorms at school.

My dad used to - literally - slam the dor in their faces. Worked a treat!

My favourite story about 'these people' in Melbourne, remains, a mate of mine were sitting on the steps of Flinders St Station... Flinders St, well its an interesting place, big old beautiful train station with a grand entrance, which is usually filled with vagrants and depresso teenagers, not to mention ice addicts, then just slightly in front are always business men with phones and then in amongst that crowd are always just people waiting for stuff to happen. THere's usually a healthy dose of people who busk in one form or another - there's a bagpiper who got his pipes stolen, and sat out the front for a month in a wheelchair saying 'help me get my pipes back', and at the end of the day he'd pack up and walk home... anyway, long story short, there's this guy who comes with an amplifier and yells at everyone - hell, it's prime pickings right? Suicidal teenagers, drug addicts, gluttonous business men, etc etc... And he'll stand there and preach/yell down the mic about hell and salvation and good and evil and right and wrong - sounds ( ... )
