Well, I’ve officially traumatized the local chapter of Jehova’s Witnesses today.

8:30 am, during my daughter’s nap (sigh) they ring the doorbell to ask if I knew about prayer. I replied that, as a matter of fact, I pray regularly to the Goddess of the Witches, and I am very happy & serene in my faith. Dude pulls out his bible, and asks if he can read me a passage. I reply that if he was planning on reading Exodus 22:18, that he should put his bible away and leave the premises, as I would consider that a death threat, and call the police immediately. He & his partner backed away slowly, and left without saying goodbye…

I found out from my neighbour (whose daughter plays with my daughter) that when they knocked on his door, they insisted to speak to him about prayer, because (whispering) his neighbour is a Witch… My neighbour apparently replied that he knew, and that’s how he got the (none with ill will shall enter here) ward above his door. They also backed away slowly from his door, and neglected proper goodbyes.

I’m now wondering whether they’ll keep us off the list for a while, or come back with an army… 😉

I love it

This is glorious.

Typically, I’m pretty cordial with our local door-to-door religious groups because, in most cases, they just hand me a pamphlet and leave.  No big deal.  But, back in 2012, I had a different experience.

We had decorated for Halloween with a graveyard and “do not cross” tape outside because I was having my 24th birthday party as a Zombie Bash.  The day of the Zombie Bash, Saturday the 13th, I notice some Jehova’s Witnesses wandering the neighborhood and only targeting houses with Halloween decorations.  So I’m already prepared for them to knock on my door.  As they were making their way up the hill to our house, I opened the door and stepped out on the porch.  “How can I help you?”

I don’t remember the exact details of the discussion because it was four years ago but, suffice to say, they wouldn’t back off.  I told them several times that I wasn’t interested, that I appreciated their time but I needed to go, but they kept loitering.  It was beyond ridiculous, to the point that my best friend, who was in town from 500 miles away, started to wonder what was going on.  She had just opened the door to hear me state,

“Look, I’m a witch, so if you don’t mind, please get off my lawn.”

I’ve never seen two adults run so fast.  My best friend laughed so hard it degraded into snorts on my front step.

We were never bothered again.

Lmaoooo!!!!

I think it shows a lack of critical thinking skills to think you can convert someone to a faith they don’t believe in by reading a passage from that faith’s holy book about how that God they don’t believe in will punish them for not believing in him/doing what he wants.
