(no subject)

A nice lady just came to our door and presented me with a lovely pamphlet entitled 'Electronic Games: Is There A Dark Side?'.
So, I would just like to say a big thankyou to the Jehovah's Witnesses for delivering free entertainment to my doorstep.
Apparently she will return in a week to discuss the pamphlet with me. I can hardly wait.

She'll have a lot of work to do on you, since you're a lost cause.

I am not a lost cause. I will be very happy to listen to her arguments and will cheerfully agree with them, if I see merit in them. Just so long as she is willing to listen to what I have to say with an equally open mind.

That is highly unlikely in my experience, I assume it is from the Jehovah's Witnesses, it sounds like their style (BTW they are not Christians, really). If you really want some fun, start questioning her on what it is that they object to about Video Games, and which ones she knows anything about... I think you will find she doesn't know anything she is saying what she's been told. It's also fun to question them about their beliefs... most of them don't know what they believe in, they just go along with the crowd like sheep.

Good point. Having looked at the pamphlet, you are 100% correct. She wa a Jehovah's Witness. The entry has now been suitably modified.
I really hope she does come back, I'm looking forward to a full and frank discussion of the subject. I'm especially looking forward to finding out what my 10+ years of computer gaming has done to my poor soul.

You mean apart from the damage that can be attributed to other factors. ;-)
