One of these days I'll answer the door naked.  That should take care of it.
This morning after we got woken up, I started thinking about a sign.  Or a
trap door and some snakes.... ooh. PIT OF LIONS!

Yep; same here.  They were people my age, doing what their church REQUIRES them
to do; I couldnt be mad at them.  They were just as polite and friendly as 
I was; not pushy at all.

I have nothing at all against Mormons, JWs, etc; I just have this view of 
"dont shove your views down my throat, and I wont shove mine down yours".

My best friend in junior high was a JW; I told him it sucked because he didnt
get any christmas presents. 8-(
