169. I just said that it is my belief they are "well intentioned."
I can totally see how you would find it obnoxious and patronizing.

One of my pagan friends from Spain got so fed up that he answered the door stark naked with a beer in his hand and invited them to come join the orgy going on.

Not that I'm suggesting... but I simply laughed so hard envisioning their reaction - been a time or two that the watchtower people have done their spiel on my porch too.

RE: But fortunately they have been placed on this planet to straighten out our misguided interpretation of the universe, while presumably attaining some bible brownie points for themselves.

Why is THAT not an insult to OUR intelligence?


I'll have to think about that, but my first reaction is that it's in the presentation. If someone states their belief and you tell them your position and they thank you and leave, that's one thing. If they keep on like a vacuume cleaner salesman - determined to finish their whole pitch - then that I would find insulting.
