They can be persistent / I always say Thank You but this is a practicing Catholic household but they still try to engage you in chat . I close the door I,m afraid

Same with the Mormons who occasionally turn up .

I am not rude to any of then .I have my standard reply and often add but thank you for calling . They dont cross you off their list though,maybe they think if they try and try again you may succumb!! :-(

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

I am having a good old giggle here picturing Mrs Brown having a conversation with a a couple of JW's, it goes something like this - ooops cannot type that here :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Same guy came twice in last fortnight. :-|

We have chatted very amicably for several minutes both times. He has given me pamphlets on each occasion. Some very interesting facts in them too, which they claim as the work of God...Rubbish! all these facts are natures own work and nothing to do with any gods.
Which part of , "I don't believe in Salvation, Resurrection, or any God", does he not understand? Such bigotry on their part I think.
What is their specific aim, world domination?
What is to them what I believe in anyway?...are they trying to justify their own brainwashed beliefs.

Btw... He is coming back again to drop me off another booklet he said that could interest me.
I might help convert him to "Naturalistic Pantheism" yet... If he`s not careful. he,he.
:-D :-D :-D

Researching:
... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz3lwXEGWIM ... There is no God. No single Creator. There is only Creation itself. Creation does not need to be explained ... It just IS.
