[deejeff442]

i was at a big 200 million dollar museum in Dallas .i had my truck door open and i was sitting sideways waiting for a contractor. a guy walks up to me with looked like a $2000 suit on .nice rings and watch.he walks up to me and says i dont know why i am doing this??/ i am thinking gay? lol no he started saying if i thought about where will i go when i die.ug i thought a preacher. he was actually a cool dude .i had time to waste so we talked for about 20 minutes.the usual god history stuff.at the end of the conversation he asked if i mind if he says a prayer for me.i said sure i can use all the help i can get .so he bowed his head and said a little prayer. so we will see how that goes.he was actually running early for a lunch next door.but now i feel a bit better.i am not a religious person but at first i though he was going to preach to me but he was actually pretty cool.and believe it or not he didnt give me a card to go to his church .alot different here than the money blood sucker churches up north.well just though i would let everyone know i am now blessed...

The problem I have with the people who evangelize in the streets, or, worse, come to your home, is that I don't really get a strong sense that they give a darn about you really. What they care about is fulfilling the obligation of evangelizing.
Jesus never ran up to people to preach, nor did he go door to door, especially on a SAT morning when you thought you would be able to lazy around in your nightie after a long and hectic week.
Oh-hum.

Anyone ever comes up to me to try and preach gets a very firm, very rude, NOT INTERESTED

LOL.....Every so often we get Jehovah Witness out at our house......We have been scantilly dressed when they came and rushed to cover up.....I told my husband next time just answer in his underwear....we'll see if they come back....HAHA

Do what I did one time when they Knocked on my Door back when the Mrs and I were engaged the Oldest was with Grandma and the Middle one was still on the way. Well lets just say I was MAD and answered the Door in my Birthday Suit and said Now LEAVE ME ALONE. Never got anymore Comebacks either after that. Called it is MY HOME and I will be left alone by them.

The funny thing is that there is a JW church down the block from my house and in the 7 years we've lived there, they have never once knocked on my door. They must know not to crap in their own backyard....

The JW were knocking on my door last week. I did not answer.

My family didn't get any visits from the JW's either. Not only are we "Known" taxidermists in the area - (whatever stigma is attached to that) but my parents always had a sign in the front yard that said "My child goes to _______ (religious school)" It was like a beacon avoid. LOL

He wasn't praying for your good luck. He was praying for your soul; your salvation.

Yes, and had the man evangelized right Deejeff would have understood that. But we can't call it a total bust....look at all the people discussing this.
