What about anyone else freedom not to be harassed by fundies


Link fixed i did a minor error

The link did not work for me, but I can say that the charging sound of a shotgun will do wonders to get obnoxious fundies off your lawn.

Maybe it's just Canada, but isn't your front yard still private property?

It is. It's just I think, from that article, is that the law is for Jehovah's Witnesses or primarily so. That would be illegal.

And you still have the right to tell them to go away and stay the hell away.

Yeah. You can't have a law specifically stating that JWs can't go door to door. Of course, I would think that if you had no trespassing signs, they would be doing something illegal by doing so.

Whenever JWs come knocking on my door, I invite them in for a beer and ask them them if they want to watch some porn with me

Now Mormons I like. They're always real polite and I'll occassionally hear what the want to say

yeah i noticed that too. the Jehovahs just start angrily reading the bible at you and finger shaking. At least those mormon kids have a charming 'Ned Flanders' quality about them.

Damn i heard today some realy dumb reason JW come up with for justifying the harassment,like the usual one "they are practicing their religion" or "They have the truth" yeah right

Oh, you're too nice to the Morons... uhm... I mean Mormons... Try this one next time you have a set at the door: "Why are there 2 of you? Are you up for a 3-some later?" (do note, you have to be male for this one) My family hasn't had a Mormon attack in a while now thanks to that one I think, kinda like my asking the JWs if I could have more firestarter material.

Um, and how would the preaching not qualify practicing their religion??

I guess it works well against girls scouts and charity canvassers too.

All but a couple of feet from the curb.

If you don't want the JWs to ever come to your door then say so. We keep a list of those who do not want us ever to go to their door and we stay away from them.

Correct. Like I posted before, JWs for the most part will avoid going to the doors of people who tel us that they do not want us there.

Then everyone including the mail carriers are barred from going on your property?

I doubt you are telling the truth unless it was one occasion that a JW would read angrily read a scripture at you and wave their finger at you. 99.99% aren't people that read off scriptures in a pissed off tone and condemn you on the spot. If you do not want to listen then say so. It sounds to me that you didn't tell them to leave after listening what they had to say.

Talking to people at the door is a major part of our religion.

There's a funny story about some Mormonss who came to the door of a Greek Orthodox rectory where the local bishop was staying at. When told that Mormons were at the door, the bishop asked for them to be let in, sat down with them, offered them some coffee, and promptly began reading John 1:1... in Greek and then English.

The Mormons promptly asked to leave.

I don't get it...

EDIT:
John 1:1 = In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Mormons like to show off by reading passages from the Bible in Greek. This Greek Orthodox bishop started reading to them from the Gospel of John in fluent Greek.

One word: Outmatched

That's why I never fuck with the Mormons the way I fuck with other types of street preachers.

Have a very nice day.

You mean "harassing others" is a major part of your religion. One might as well invent the religion of farting, and then say that running up to people and farting at them is a form of religious freedom.

I agree that it shouldn't be criminalized, but it's fucking rude and you know it. I know a JW who even jokingly refers to his "field service" as "harassment". You know perfectly well that you're not wanted; you fuckers only agree not to go to someone's house if you're really vehemently not wanted.

Riiiiiight. You don't like it then say so when we go to your door. Just because a person at a door doesn't want us there doesn't mean that the next person doesn't want us there either. I've met many people that even though they do not agree with us but they commended us for going door to door.

How about I give you this little tidbit. Our preaching work won't go on forever. It will stop.

Enigma can you tell me what your JW friends does when they ring or knock at a door and its a Muslim who answer,do you still want to tell him your version of the truth?
