I will not accept or tolerate discrimination against LGBTQ. No fucking way. I am very outspoken about it.
They never knock on my door anymore, but if they did I would explain I am atheist and not interested. Lately they just stand in corners holding their little books and waiting for people to approach them.

The other way around. For many years they were okay with it, then in the 50s they forbade it entirely, and in the past 30 years they've modified it to the point where it's more an issue of semantics than anything else. They will still claim that JWs are forbidden from accepting blood transfusions, but the loopholes are big enough to drive an ambulance through.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I've ment to make a post in here. Not to long ago while at my girlfriends place, she got a visit from some Mormons. They actually had some kind of delusion that they were allowed inside, trying to get through the door, but a foot placed behind the door allowed them space to come in. Anyways, my girl friend who accepts most religions, couldn't help herself from laughing in their faces. They seemed like nice folks, but quite annoying. I had another group once, I'm not sure who the fuck they were, I saw them going door to door in the neighborhood, when they reached my place I was headed in the shower, so didn't care to answer. All I know is they were wearing suits and holding books that looked to be the bible.

I 'dialogued' with the JWs a few times. Each time they brought an additional and more senior person. Now they never come. In our last conversation I tried to make a case that circles are flat.

I'm so glad I have a screen door that I can talk through, complete with deadbolt to lock people out.

What is your experience with them?
I have never been openly rude to them. I usually pretend to pay attention and take the pamphlet and throw it in the bin later. One time My sister noticed me talking to them at the door and played Tim minchin rather loudly. They went quickly and I haven't seen them since. Maybe they told their whole group to avoid our house. ![[Image: 555927_196372147157673_663586991_n.jpg]](https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/555927_196372147157673_663586991_n.jpg)
