Pete Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Amazing people really. There I am busy working on the Tiger, dirty, very scruffy listening to Ministry very loudly (industrial roar roar roar type singing about the devil and such like) when they decide to interrupt my day. An older woman and her daughter. The amazing bit I find is that I must've been one of the most unapproachable people in my road in that state - yet they still come up smiling to have a conversation with me! I was of course polite and said "it's not my bag the whole religion thing", and they still insisted they wanted to talk about natural disasters and whether I thought God would intervene. I tried to explain it's Earths natural cycle but they didn't want to listen so I had to give up and send them on their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Did they not try to persuade you to give up your kit car and donate the money to a charitable cause? That's typically standard Jehova training practice. I'll be having words with the trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Persistent beasts, I had a video intercom at a flat I once lived in, they used to come and talk to that for ages when I told them I had no legs and couldn't get to the door.

Havard Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Mate of mine was plagued with them recently. He got into the habit of starting a conversation with them at the front door and would then say "Can you just hold on a minute?" and he'd go back and watch television for about 20 mins and then see if they were still there..... I was once round there having a brew and he did it. I said what are you doing? He said "Saving some other poor b@stards ears"..... H.

Pete Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Recent Ministry or old? Rio Grande, last album I think? It's more like their early stuff. The Dub version is the better of the pair. Pete, try to convert them over to Kitcarism and give them a free copy of Build Your Own Sports Car for as Little as £250 and Race It! They did comment on it. "I like the colour" "...and whilst you're going about" pointing to the kit car "..erm..whatever you're doing, just spare it a few thoughts". Hmmm...think about God, or concentrate on what I'm doing? I think it was about that point the Ministry sample came on "I'm going to stick my cock up your nose".

tbourner Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I kept a pair talking for about 40 minutes, me arguing how science had 'proven' that god didn't exist. They eventually started claiming that their literature agreed with science in some weird far fetched way. I managed to make up a lot of scientists names and stories from scientific papers that I'd read that disproved what they were claiming. Eventually they said they had to be getting on!

RedM Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I love old Ministry. 'The Land of Rape and Honey' and 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste' are two of my fave records ever. This one time, at band-camp, when I was in Vancouver, we were in a bar and this guy came up and said "Ministry. Cool band" while pointing at my t-shirt. I said thank, he commented on me being English, we got chatting about music and he said something about recording an album and, only after about ten minutes, did I realise the guy was the 'singer' from local band and another favourite of mine, Skinny Puppy. I felt such a plum when the penny dropped. Anyhow, that'll interest no-one I expect. PETE: I have some old Ministry side project vinyl. Would you be interested in any of it if I dig it all out? 1000 Homo DJs, Revolting Cocks etc etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I objected to a similar situation, only they turned up at 8.30am on a Saturday morning - a father and son combo. Crack on with your religious clap trap but please don't expect me to be very engaging at that time of the the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be interested in any of it if I dig it all out? 1000 Homo DJs, Revolting Cocks etc etc.... I'm afraid I've not owned a record player in over 15 years. I've got a Beers Steers and Queers and Linger Fickin' Good and I Supernaut on tape somewhere. Just had a quick look on Torrent and it looks like filling in the blanks won't be too difficult.There was a fairly recent album too apparently, I'd no idea they were still producing.

Can you imagine your weekend as a kid being spent knocking on people's doors to talk about God, yey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaoriFan Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 we got them all the time here. i don't mind if they left a card and said call them if you need to talk. but not to keep coming to the doorstep. my mother used to work with the guy in charge locally and she told him that she was not interested so he told them not to call for many years i don't have problem with people believing in religion. But i think anyone who does not allow blood transfusions (in majority cases) is not the thing i am interested in one bit. Michael, made me laugh reading your way of getting to them ja ne Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
