Preaching
 
As much as I appreciate somebody trying to guilt trip me into believing.. is there any need for this on broadway?

Oh dear, the Young Conservatives aren't out in Accy again are they?

Thankfully, due to suspected swine flu, my trip to town has been cancelled.

wow is Accy turning into Manchester?

you get this all the time in Manchester Centre, if we believe then we believe if we dont then we dont need it shoving down our throats

has the person got a sandwich board attached to him/her by any chance?

Are you suggesting that religious freedoms should be curtailed?

Sounds very draconian.

Who'll be next, that is to be silenced?

Perhaps they leave the old sinners alone, and concentrate on the young, and woefully naive.

:D

I think it's quite sweet watching people preaching. Of course, i think it's sweet from a great distance becasue I wouldn't go anywhere near them with a barge pole. But, I do think they have the right to do it if they want.

Personally, the ones that annoy me are the door to door type. If people are on a pedestrian area in a town they're easily avoided but knocking on my door they aren't so easy to avoid.

Then as was pointed out, you are free to walk away.

Unless of course they'd given you a tambourie to shake.

Then you must first wait for the song to finish, hand it back, then be about your business.

As fare as I'm concerned they can do what they want, so long as they don't come knocking on my door, now I do object to that. A few years ago I was in bed under the weather when a knock came on the door, I dragged myself out of bed walked to the door and asked who it was, a voice said I need to have a word with you, must be important I though, so I put my dressing gown on and opened the door, it was a bloody Jehovah Witness, Never seen anybody move as quick in my life and I ain't seen him since. I don't mind any religion but please don't try to push it down my throat on my own doorstep

Hmmm, is Swine Flu the latest Middle class must have?

From what I can work out, at the moment doing the rounds are bouts of the Common Cold, 'Ordinary' Flu and this god-damn swine Flu!

Those with upper class pretensions all seem to have what they consider the trendy one, did they pay extra? Or are they just obliged to class the first cough, to some life threatening Pandemic?

My apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to actually be suffering 'Swine Flu', but to the rest, please don't worry the ordinary Flu can be just as lethal so don't worry your turn will come.

I've no idea.

If I see a middle class person with it, whatever that might be (bank manager?), I'll ask them.

The doctor said it was 'suspected swine flu'. I haven't self diagnosed it myself.

Sky high temperature, terrible diarrhea, shivering, hacking cough, sore throat, headaches, and more aches and pains than you can shake a stick at.

Whatever it is/was, I'll be glad to get back to the usual acute muscular pain caused by Parkinson's.

Thanks for your concern though Florence, and watch your wick as you leave the ward, it looks like it's on it's way out.

;)

What a sad, bitter, little man you are.

Just as soon as I'm allowed past my front door again, remembering to hop over the food left for me by kind people, I'll look for a religious nutter and ask for them to pray for you, in the hope you find some peace in your life.

You ought to go down Manc. Free Palestine, Repent Ye Sinners, Big Issue Please, Llama Liberation Front, Hare Krishna, Hands Off Cuba...and I agree with all of 'em. Or rather, I agree with their right to propagate what they believe in...so, yes, there IS a need for this on Broadway...and long may it continue! :cool:

I quite agree; however, the last lot who came knocking on my door were Tory party canvassers, whom I vented my spleen on in no uncertain terms (as I would have done Lab or Lib/Dem canvassers). So could you explain to me why you find it so objectional for Godbothers to come a-knocking on your door, yet, presumably, you're quite happy for activists from your own party to do it?

...could you also send "The Weather" (I presume that's not her real name) round to my house please. ;)

Funny thing is Wynonie I don't get political canvassers at my door, the Tories don't need to call, Labour neve seem to bother:rolleyes::D I've seen Mr Jones twice during the by-election campaign in Immanuel ward and he never even popped round to say hello:D

The botherers with the folded blue headscarf and spectacles(the women) are allowed to stand in our town centre and shout at the top of their voices " hell and damnation to all ye sinners, blah, blah ,blah" the chap is so involved he dribbles down his chin and frightens most folk especially kids. If i was too stand outside Barclays and shout my anti religion head off the rotund fake police girls would come and try and give me an on the spot fine of £30, luckily they are not good at running up hill which is the best escape as they radio the fake traffic warden.

I wonder how they would re-act if you turned up and said, "Message from God Chaps, pack it in for today you're volumes giving me a headache"?
