I've just had them at the door............nice lads in their suits.

I had to ask them about the whole ancestor thing......how can they baptise someone posthumously ?

Apparently , when it gets to judgement day the " baptised " ancestors will then get the chance to join them in the here after .

They asked my name..........they asked to come back another day.........gulp...........I will have to hid behind the settee next time..........lol

THE BIBLE SAYS..........
'That death cancels out sin', and that everyone in their memorial tombs (graves) will have the promise and hope of a resurrection....

so I cannot see whether it matters two hoots whether you are /were baptised or not.......

Amanda, I cannot stand eating corn-flakes for breakfast....yet love enjoy them for supper sometimes..... mm strange.........

LDS reps are always extremely polite and personable but they never call on me and neither do any other religious organisatons - I have a notice on my door specific to Jehovas following a run in I had with two old ladies a while back

very nice chaps, very nice suits.

But worth letting your cornflakes go soggy for - I think not.

No more multi-tasking, Amanda. If you're eating, you're eating! Serial (cereal) tasks are best left to others.

I am always polite to anyone who knocks my door
.
however I do get frustrated when the free papers are delivered, and they just put them halfway through the letter box..leaving a howling draught, and letting everyone know I am not at home....

what did they say to offend you Ann?

It hasn't been my day.

Har har Ray........catch you Latter..........lol

I was miffed about the soggy cornflakes Sue.....the dogs on the other hand were most pleased.

Ann........the Jehovas don't knock on our door.....we are in their naughty book.

Thanks all for your comments

give them something really useful to do - there's a bread queue near you starting to gather momentum.
Converts by the hundred just waiting to be talked to.

Bank Hols coming up. Again.

They could break bread and convert at the same time

with a captive audience............lol

suzian Report 19 May 2008 23:13

See, it does good on all fronts.

The nice boys in smart suits do their stuff, the bread queue is at worst entertained, and at best find the staff of life.

A reason for everything.

And the sane amongst us have a lie in

They would certainly find the stuff of life in our local co-op..........I wonder what they would make of old " grow-bag"..........he goes to the shop on his oap trolly cart so he dosn't fall over ( being drunk ) .....lol

Wonderful word picture, Amanda.

Is the basket on the front of old grow bag's trollley full of White Lightning?

And why is he called Old Grow Bag?

He sounds just right for conversion
