Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕

Really cross yesterday when 2 women came calling. Thought they might be Jehovah Witness folk as we get a regular call. Anyhow, they implied that they were pushing increased awareness on Teen self murder and what can be done if you recognise the signs etc. Anyway, they left some literature, and when I had a look at that , it was in fact from the JWs . I felt cross as I felt this was a pretty sneaky, lowdown sort of thing to use as a camoflage for their real purpose. Does anyone agree, or is it just me getting or hissy over nothing.

Just read a few back posts on bullying at work....as a nurse OMG! A private hospital had seminars on workplace bullying which could have been an Olympic event in horizontal bullying. The specialist units are pretty awesome in this. Mind you the upper management had a special seminar called (by me!) "How to bully better!" Any sign of vulnerability the toads ( euphemism for stronger terms!) would home in to torment one.

Hi @Neb,

I had some JWs knock on my door. I accept if people have their own relgious beliefs, I hold no prejudice against that.

It more the invasion of privacy that I find challenging, where I feel like my home is the place where I can be me and not challenged about my lifestyle.

Golly, they come in pairs usually, or a pack all dressed up nice with a MAN to protect them from the rabid non JWs here abouts!

You would think the enormous crucifix attached to my wall woud give them a hint, but nah, I think they get extra brownie points if they convert an RC!

@Neb @CherryBomb ......

Exactly ❣

Why is it okay to have strangers accosting us on our doorstep with unwanted literature and asking us to justify our beliefs, when they are trained not to accept any of our beliefs and impose their own, unflinchingly .....

First rule of religious beliefs ..... free will !!

Short answer - it's not okay ❣
