Beware the Watchtower!

I'm off today because it's the state observed Nevada Day. Ya.... ok... sure whatever, I'll take it. Below a couple of photos of the latest hat that isn't "quite" in my collection, YET. I was playing the Marlboro Man.

Makes you want to take up smoking doesn't it! Anyway, so I went outside to collect some pencils and blend sticks from my car when the Watchtower people caught me.

Big mistake. I know they have good intentions on turning me into a funding station for their church, but I will always (if caught outside like I was, I don't open the door at home or answer my phone) chat them up to a ridiculous extent. Not to mock, in serious curiousity even though I have zero plans of leaving the completely moral and legit community of Catholosism. /cough.

What is a Watchtower I asked? I explained that it smacked of being watched far too hard by god and that I frankly need him to look the other way at least a few hours each day. Could they guarantee he would? They, lol of course stammered.

"So when will the false religion end?" I asked - see above photo.
"Well... uh soon."
"I think I should wait until it's all finalized. No sense in investing on something not confirmed up."
"Uh... "
Me, interuppting - "And your bobber here asks what a false religion is. How can I know you aren't false and just saying you aren't so that no one thinks being a Watchtower isn't? What if you are the falsertons and lying. You came to MY door after all, so I'd think you were prepared."

They wandered off mumbling to eachother after asking I consider the pamplet, which I said I would, and did. You can't just go around peddling without anticipating people like myself. I sorta shrugged and walked away from the door, my questions unanswered and just blinking a lot. My ex husband used to be offended at church peddlers, I think just let em give their speech, doesn't hurt anything. I am very aware that my bodily presence in the big picture isn't to save my soul, but rather to fund something or another, so when you look at it that way you can ask things like any other interview for someone who potentially will get your cash. What can you do for ME? Oh heaven? Shit no chance anyhow, but thanks, thought you'd have a better offer.

I always talk to them too, and consider their literature...and ask questions that leave them mumbling. We can't be the only ones, right? Sorry I missed that one.
