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.

Ah...a Jehovah's Witness. Yes, Saturdays are their favourite day for proselytising!

Back when I lived in Hemel hempstead, there was one particular JW who seemed to have made it her life's work to try and convert me. It was quite amusing, given that I used to teach bible studies to Christadelphians....so I could challenge everything she said using Scripture. Quite often we'd be discussing a certain topic, and she'd lend me a JW book on the subject. I'd politely accept it, read it that week, and the following Saturday verbally rip it to shreds and demolish it with logic!

She started bringing others with her after a while; I think I was viewed as a test of faith for new converts! But despite the fact she came around every Saturday for nearly 5 years without fail, not once did she ever get to set foot in my flat.

I sometimes wonder what happened to her - one Saturday a different lady turned up who couldn't stand up to my debate, and I never saw another JW again as long as I stayed in Hemel. I still have one of their books gathering dust on my bookshelf. It amuses me to keep it next to the Crowley and the LaVeys....

I have a feeling that this one may be kept for whenever I need a giggle. It'll fit in nicely between Hine and the History of Torture :-)
