Misguided fools

Anyone else getting the knocks on the door with the black bag carrying 'God' mafia?
Is it the time of year of what...?
I've done quite nicely without organised religion for decades... but a thought struck me that if they knocked at the door at someone in , lets say real financial strife... these buggers are going to be a useless leeching distraction from getting a real solution... God aint going to pay off the credit card or the debt collector thats for certain.. like death and taxes.

This is the time of year when people are at their lowest. Xmas is over, the decorations are falling down. Weather's crap and you have to go back to work, or you don't have a job to go back to. You've overspent at Xmas and probably spent a lot of it arguing with the other half.

All of a sudden 'Happy Nigel' knocks at the door and offers to solve all your problems (with a little help from the Big Man).

Seems like the perfect time to do a little recruiting.

I had them knock, i pretended to be crazy, and only spoke through the letterbox.

I tell told the last lot that I was a Jedi.

The lady was incredulous. She said "You mean like that thing on the television?" (no, I don't know what she meant either, perhaps she doesn't understand 'films') and then went onto say "do you really think that will do any good?".

I explained it was about good over evil and as belief systems go it was as valid as following a chap nailed to bits of wood.

She didn't want to talk any more, so I said goodbye and shut the door.

Nut-job cults are on the way out, its not difficult nowadays to find out the down side of joining people like the Joobers with a quick google search.

Unfortunately, the more desperate they get for new idiots to ensnare, the more often you'll be seeing 'em.

I put on a fake Polish accent and pretend to be a Catholic fundamentalist. That usually scares them off.

I tell them I Belong to the cult of skaro. Just like all the other daleks.

If they come from the right place you couldn't be more wrong. This lot do a huge amount of good and have helped loads of people who are below the bread line and have financial problems.

Tell them you are a Catholic. For some reason they always go away at once.

Invite them in, start undressing and ask them if they're up for a threesome.

Had them knock on my door the other day and I answered in just my pants. They said "I can tell now's not a good time" and did a runner!
