    G'day all,

    We've brought forward this weekend's poll because we're sure to have other things on our mind tomorrow! Just in case you missed it, try this link:

    Anyway, time to take a few moments to ponder! Here's this week's question:


    If the elders visited you this weekend, what would you say?

    1. Hello. Can I help you?

    2. Won't you come in?

    3. I'm not interested.

    4. Not today, thank you.

    5. It's not convenient right now.

    6. Have you seen Dateline/Panorama/Sunday?

    7. Should you be speaking to me?

    8. Why have you come?

    9. Are you lost?

    10. May I show you why I have become a Christian/Buddhist/agnostic/atheist/humanist etc?

    11. May I interest you in an Amway career?

    12. Have you heard anything about the Watchtower Society and the UN?

    13. Why do you think the churches have had problems with paedophile priests?

    14. Why won't you speak to me at the supermarket?

    15. If I came to the meetings, would anyone speak to me?

    16. I heard a lot have left the organisation; is it true?

    17. Why can't I wear a beard?

    18. I heard 1914 may be changed; is that true?

    19. I read in the Watchtower that Jesus is not my mediator. Did you know that?

    20. I don't remember you.

    21. Other (please give details)


    So there you have it. We welcome your replies.

    Cheers till next time, Ozzie

    I'm torn between saying absolutely nothing and letting them stumble their way through it or #8 followed by #14. I'm still laughing over #11. They do that it Oz too?

    #21 If I knew they were there I would not answer the door. I don't want to see any of the elders and face the confrontation that I know would follow. They would ask me why I stopped attending meetings and I would have to tell them how I really feel. The elders travel in pairs and so it would be little me against two men determined to get me back in the Kingdom Hall.

    I would probably get upset and if the kids were home they would get upset because I was upset.

    I know that one day I will have to face then, but until that day comes I will try to avoid it for as long as I can.
