How dare you Sir! those pictures of young nubile ladies are a religious art form, I worship those bodies as if each one was a Temple, inviting me in.

They used to prey on the young man next door to me (he has 'learning difficulties'). They came weekly and read the bible to him for about an hour. He didn't have the gumption to tell them to stay away.
I discussed it with his mother when she next visited. I cured the problem by constructing a poster on a website and printing it off-

"Warning - Jehovahs witnesses, Mormons, Moonies, or any religion pusher, not welcome here"

I bluetacked it to railing of our joint landing area and the visits stopped.
I cannot give you the weblink for the poster construction site because I lost it in a computer re-formatt in March.

What gets me is the way that Nev the Rev can smoke at the bar in the Queens and no one else can.

If our missionaries call on you and you don't want them to call again simply tell them so and they should respect your wishes. They should also make a note of that for future reference so that when they leave and new ones come along they know not to bother you. If you are being pestered by the same guys when you have previously told them not to call again then you are perfectly justified in making a complaint about it. You'll know if they are our lot because they have little black plastic name tags with the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on and their own name "Elder Somebody-or-other" underneath. Sometimes they can be a little over enthusiastic but they should never make a nuisance of themselves.

He started that at least 20 years ago.

We have those companies coming around every month at work, leaving items for you to buy with a form to fill in, etc., you will know the ones. Most of the items are c*ap, some not bad like outdated AA maps..

Last Christmas a dot to dot book was left and when joined they displayed images of love making in extremely interesting positions .. just fun. Our Personal/Health and Safety Manager (you will know who I mean Less) took it on himself to withdraw this offending booklet from the canteen. I thought it was extremely petty as lots of magazines left in the canteen, such as Cosmpolitan, have some hair-raising articles.

The following week, 'Lo and Behold' there lieth a copy of The Watchtower. Seemingly they had left a copy at reception and our gentleman had seen fit to leave this for us all to read, next to the remaining items from the aforementioned. I complained that I found this extremely offensive to my non-beliefs (which I did) and would report this to the Directors. Was only winding him up of course ... but was gone within the hour. Point is Bible punching is offensive to me.

Although I am anti all religion I have great respect for the Salvation Army.
I saw what good work they did providing hostels for homeless itinerants - they are the only christians I ever gave money to.

Bible punching is heavy sales tactics selling religion, by interrupting everybody's privacy, just like the double glazing guy knocking on yer door.

As per Margaret's post, have great respect for bodies like the Salvation Army as they don't use these tactics, except giving you some lovely hymns sung in town at Christmas and they never mention 'God' as you drop a couple of quid in their box. Also they show their love of people by helping the less fortunate amongst us. no matter what calling they have.

Always find it quite intereseting to take up the subject of homosexuality with some of these individuals- sually resulting in some form of homophobic tirade about the bible saying how wrong such things are- usually quickly followed by a quote from Leviticus. Best response is to ask if they eat Pork?- same section, same book says you shouldnt so why be selective in what you will and wont take on board.
