This is just simply hilarious. I really don't know what else to say. I hope you win the contest with this. Excellent comedy. I had a visit from the Holy Joe's, as we call them here, and invited them in for the craic. I'm actually a very learned atheist, and when they tried to convert me they lost the will to live after about fifteen minutes. I enjoyed this story so much. Congratulations again.

Thank you for the awesome review and big sixer, PK. I really appreciate the stars and good luck wishes, friend. I'm glad you liked my little tale of the Holy Joe's pamphlet. Lol. Thank you again.

I knew exactly where this story was coming from until almost the last breath and then for some unknown reason...I imagined a process server saying, "You've been served." I've lost my mind I think....

Lol. I'll have to use that for next time. You've been served. Hahaha. Thank you for another great review, Carol. I'm glad you like my twisted sense of humor. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

I trust the driver of the semi escaped the conflagration because if not you would be disqualified for murder. Actually the best way of getting rid of tenacious characters like these is to laugh at them. Being devoid of a sense of humour they simply do not understand and leave with their Watchtowers undelivered.

Yeah, I better put in the author notes that he was thrown from the truck just in case. Lol. I usually just take their stuff they give out. I really appreciate the stop by and review, my friend. I hope all is going well for you in this new year so far. Have a great day, Pantygynt.

Comment from mrsmajor
Hi,
Well I am a Jehovah's Witness, and I know there are times when some can be pushy, but that's not what's supposed to happen.
Actually the Bible says if we are
turned away we must say thank you and simply move on...And yes I've had to do that quite often...Your story did make me smile, but it would never really happen...For me No means No!
Thanks for sharing your human with us, and no I was not at all offended...
Take Care and Say Safe,
Warmly,
Victoria.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Victoria. I was hoping any Jehovah's Witness would just see this as ridiculousness. Lol. I clearly wasn't trying to offend anyone. I usually take any literature they offer. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Comment from LisaMay
Oh no.... I can see it coming now. The next contest prompt will be even more wordy - no mention of religion.
I love the irreverent humour here; the persistence of JW's is legendary. You have excelled yourself in managing to offend them I guess. Following religious beliefs comes in many forms.

Hahaha, yep, no religious pamphlets or car chases or Applebee's. Lol. I'm glad you liked this ridiculous write, Lisa. Thank you.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
So, you went through all that hassle when all you needed was to accept their pamphlet. Why didn't you take it at first when they offered it to you? I don't understand the fear of the witnesses when they come knocking at your door. This was funny and absurd in a most peculiar way. I guess anything can be made to be humorous if you set your mind to it.
Have a wonderfully frightening day!

Haha. Yep, pretty well anything can be turned into ridiculous humor when I put my mind to it. I was just in one of those moods today. It would have been an awfully short story if he simply just took it at the beginning. Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Jesse. I really appreciate it, friend.

Well, that's what I like...an honest man! We all get in those moods sometimes, I know that I do. I am glad you liked my review, Ron! Have a great weekend!
