Urban Thought | 5 Observations 
I’m not sure if Jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood actually work. Maybe they get paid for knocking on my door. Who knows what the deal is? At any rate, I wish they wouldn’t step foot near my residence. I want to put a sign on my door that says, “Don’t Knock Here. I don’t want what you are offering.”
Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate religion (from a far) and what it does for people. But organized religion isn’t for me. A Jehovah’s Witness knocking at my door is annoying in the morning when I’m trying to get my sleep. I know God waits for no one. I get it. God is always there. But even God needed rest. And for it to be disturbed by these folk is somewhat unbearable.
This is the price you pay for living in the hood. When I move into my new place I’ll be sure to have a doorman. This way everyone will be announced and I won’t get disturbed before 9am.

I hate to be negative on other religions as I don’t want to seem insensitive to other belief systems but these people annoy me to know end. The thing they are not born of this earth but rather produced from pods on an alien planet.
I get a bit freaked with I see those paired-up ultra-clean cut young men walking the streets. I haven’t had them come a-knockin’ at my door (all the places I’ve lived in made it difficult) but I’ve heard people tell me of the JW’s ringing at some inconvenient time.
I may be incorrect in thinking that those young men are JWs. In any case, they have approached me asking if I am interested in hearing their message. They just look a little too … alike for me. A little too … focused.
Of course I’m a woman, under 5 feet and under 100 pounds so having 2 focused young men with cloth briefcases approach me on the street …
The “evil” part of me wants to hold up a large smiling “Happy Buddha” in their direction and say, “Get thee gone!”
I know, not very spiritual of me.
I remember when I was in High School. I was in love with this girl who was Jehovah’s… She had a thing for me too…so when I found out we couldn’t be together. I told my mother that I’d like to covert to Jehovah’s…but than she slapped me across the face and I was fine! Lol
Ricardo: We are allowed our opinions. This is why we blog. You aren’t alone. Return to their pods, I say.
Ms. Q: I believe you are speaking of the people from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They wear the suits and do the door to door thing as well. In my neighborhood they stick out like a sore thumb, considering they are usually of the Caucasian persuasion.
Christian: If I could shake your mothers hand I would. She did a good thing. That’s love.
Ah. Thanks for the info and yes, those young men (no pairs of women or co-ed pairs or pairs over the age of, what, 21) have been of the Caucasian Persuasion. I think someone said that the LDSs are some offshoot of the Mormons? I forget mainly because the various Christian offshoots (Dah Book of Dis versus Dah Book of Dat) hold little interest.
