Ruth MottramI had Jehovah's Witnesses round this morning (not a very common occurrence round here).
Them: "Do you ever think about the future?"
Me: "I'm a climate scientist, I think it about the future all the time.."
BrianKrebs@Ruth_Mottram Growing up, my dad (a strong Catholic) used to welcome the Hare Krishnas, Jehovah's Witness, and the young men from the Mormon church who came by from time to time. He would sit out on the lawn and bring chairs out for everyone and offer peach daiquiris for them (they always refused). And then he'd try to convert them to Catholicism.
CrazyDogLadySezPEACE@briankrebs @Ruth_Mottram My Jehovah’s Witness story, a woman came to the door where I lived with my toddler & I figured she’d been having doors slammed in her face, so I’d invite her in for a sit down & she’d talk & give me the latest watchtower & I’d listen politely and wish her a good day. This went on for a couple months I guess but one day the pamphlet had things to say about Buddhism, so I went through it with her, “no, that’s incorrect, it’s really like this” and “yeah, I can see how that might be misunderstood, but here’s how we think it’s meant” etc. She looked at me like a deer in headlights the whole time and never came back. 🤷🏻♀️
