[QUOTE="donna723, post: 584128, member: 1883"] These people are wasting their time on me and just need to take me off their list. I have my own beliefs and no amount of badgering is going to change that. And I have no intention of discussing anything as personal as my religious beliefs with a total stranger on my front porch! Another funny about the persistent Jehovah's Witnesses. My tiny little house is close to the street on one side and actually has FOUR outside entrances. One of these is a door coming from the street side of the house in to my kitchen. There are three steps outside and a small landing outside the door. The steps are cemented-over cinder blocks but the little landing is just a thin slab of concrete that had a big crack going through it. Doesn't matter because this door is unused. It doesn't even open because my dryer is blocking it. Anyway ... when I was still working, apparently the Jehovah's Witnesses figured out that if they came to the front door, the dogs can see them go past the window and would go in to their barking frenzy. So one of them decided to try knocking on that side door, the one that goes in to the kitchen. Bad idea! I came home one day and noticed a pamphlet had been slipped under the door handle to the screen door of this side entrance. I went to retrieve it and when I got close enough I saw that the concrete landing had given away ...there was a big person-size hole in the concrete slab with nothing but the edges hanging on! You could look through this hole and see the dirt underneath! Couldn't have been the Asian lady - she was so tiny she could have perched up there like a butterfly! So apparently some larger-sized chubbier Jehovah's Witness, in their zeal to convert me, had gone up those steps, put the pamphlet in the door handle, then the old concrete slab had given away under them just like a trap door and they fell through the hole! It's high enough that climbing up out of that hole had to be quite a feat! I would have given ANYTHING to have that on video! I would watch it over and over again. And when I told my landlord what happened, he was laughing so hard that I don't think he even minded that he had to pay some one to replace the old concrete landing! [/QUOTE]
