Why unloaded? Doesn't that defeat the whole idea? Or are they worried about

They probably want the guns to be handed around, so the ladies (and
uninitiated gents) can see what they're all about. Unloaded = more
safe for Show 'n Tell.

I'm hoping the fully loaded mags and revolver speedloaders are in the
gents' pockets, in case someone with a loaded weapon shows up to take
all the unloaded pieces.

No, it wouldn't. After some of the recent incidents where some loser
shoots up a church service, it would just be good preparation.


"Praise the Lord, we killed him. Now let us bask in Jesus's love for all
mankind..."


Have you never heard of a 'reprobate spirit'? Nowhere in the bible
does it say to not defend yourself, within reason.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Guns and religion,
we live a long way from anywhere, just the way we like it,
Many yrs ago Jehovas whitnesses called to convert us.
We asked them politely to go on their way.
They came again on a sunday at midday just as we were sitting down to
a meal.
we said in no uncertain terms NOT to come again, if they did they
would regret it.
Yes, they came once more a month or so later.
I called my wife in a very loud voice to get the 12 bore off the
mantlepiece. I then gave them 20 secs to get up our private road, some
200yds long , before I blew their ffing heads off.
They didnt hang about.

A couple of months ago 2 elderly ladies called where I was working, and
asked where the home owner was.
i said out working.
Can i pass a message? I said?
no they said they would call again.
I said are you JW'S yes they said, .
I replied that they better not come there again as this person is a
difficult soul and they would regret it.
They then replied that they were threatened with a gun out this way
many yrs ago. .
I replied
That was me!!.
They're devils for punishment.

Using that logic, I would assume that you then approve if JW would
choose to use guns to persuade nonbelievers to convert?

In my experience, showing respect for anyone's religious beliefs
brings desired results.

They were shooting Shinto heathen. That's like Muslims shooting Christians.
It's theologically OK.


Well God was on our side.

Guns and religion,
we live a long way from anywhere, just the way we like it,
Many yrs ago Jehovas whitnesses called to convert us.
We asked them politely to go on their way.
They came again on a sunday at midday just as we were sitting down to
a meal.
we said in no uncertain terms NOT to come again, if they did they
would regret it.
Yes, they came once more a month or so later.
I called my wife in a very loud voice to get the 12 bore off the
mantlepiece. I then gave them 20 secs to get up our private road, some
200yds long , before I blew their ffing heads off.
They didnt hang about.

A couple of months ago 2 elderly ladies called where I was working, and
asked where the home owner was.
i said out working.
Can i pass a message? I said?
no they said they would call again.
I said are you JW'S yes they said, .
I replied that they better not come there again as this person is a
difficult soul and they would regret it.
They then replied that they were threatened with a gun out this way
many yrs ago. .
I replied
That was me!!.
They're devils for punishment.

The first time they called I was polite to them
The second time they called I warned them if they came again it would be
at their own risk.
The third time they called despite the 2 previous warnings the reaped
the results of their actions.
If the JW's had shown respect for my beliefs and not called again when i
asked them not to, then i wouldnt have had to get threatening to get my
point of view across.
They brought it upon them selves.
How often would you have put up with their calls? , indefinately?

The first time they called, I stood on my porch and asked to examine
their bible. The title page listed a committee that had been
responsible for the translation. I asked them which of the several
hundred different Greek versions they had used. I asked them why, if
their god had guided the translation to maintain the Truth, a
committee was necessary. I explained that I am an agnostic pantheist,
except on Leap Day, when I am a pantheistic agnostic.

Been a while since they've been back...

I don't recall what year my sister was ordained in the ULC, but she
continues to do weddings. She went on to become a doctor of
Naturopathy.

The year I was a minister in the Church of Divine Man, I had some
cards made up which stated that I did marrials and burials. Ain't life
fun? (I did neither that year.)

Yeah, that was particularly fun. My vestment for the wedding was a sports
jacket my roommate had bought at a second-hand store in the East Village.
Looking at it from the front, the left side was a blown-up page from the New
York Times, and the right side was just solid yellow.

It looked good after a few hits of the herbal sacrament.

As I said before...using your logic it would be appropriate for the
JWs to use a gun on you when you continued to refuse their offer to
convert....were they also not polite?

There are methods to handle an over insistent nonviolent visitor
without pulling a gun....like having them wait for you while you call
the authorities so they can explain to the JWs that you REALLY are not
interested in their repeated kind offers to save you from Hell.

Using your logic, I should be pulling my guns on the Girl Scouts that
visit.

I'm an ordained reverend in the Church of John Moses Browning, we also are pacifists, but
we haven't mastered turning the other cheek yet.

I was over at uncles once when they showed up on the step, my uncle, a deacon in his
church, invited them in to meet his pastor that was visiting. For some reason, they
didn't stay long. I don't understand it, it was 2v2 so it was a fair religious fight.

I left, I knew how this one was going to end.
