I saw the woman again.
Today I'm walking home from school and she's walking with a friend and flags me down. I don't really want to talk to her so I smile, say hello and keep walking. They start to walk with me. We chat until I get home and I say 'sorry I have to go' and she says 'We want to visit you, wednesday ok?'. I tell her I'm busy wednesday night with english club (lie). At this point she's already asked me 'what god I have' and I've told her I don't believe in God. It seems to have made her and her friend more determined and they gave me some literature to read. The long and short of this is that they have refused to get the hint and are now coming to my house saturday afternoon. Gah! I can't get rid of them! It seems the first one is local enough that I'm pretty much guarenteed to bump into her again (let's face it, I don't exactly blend in with the crowd) and they now know where I live.
This day sucks so hard.

Oh, jeez, Zan!
I've been on vacation. I come back and try to catch up on your blog and am laughing myself silly. My husband keeps giving me the "no, really, what are you laughing at?" look.
Okay.
The key to losing a Jehovah's Witness: Tell them that you know that they've predicted the end of the world four times in the past 100 years - all of which have passed, with no end. Tell them that you are not going to follow a religion that has proven itself wrong that blatantly. And then tell them to get bent. (And yes, my husband does have a copy of one of their Watchtower published books predicting the end in 1914 and 1915.)
Also, FYI, this is a religion that has taken original transcripts (of the Bible) and the parts that don't match their doctrine they have either left out - or rewritten. Which is especially interesting because you can check MULTIPLE other Christian based religions who differ enough to fight who agree on the stuff they've changed.
In case this is helpful for your upcoming visit - assuming it hasn't happened already with the time difference.
Cheers!

When I was a teenager they knocked on the door at my Dads house for the 10th time in three months. They had been stopping by for years and never got the message despite how bluntly it was worded by my parents.
At the time we had a very large dog who loved to bark really loud at strangers and show them his pretty shiny and oh so sharp teeth. I opened the main door but not the screened door. I held our dog by his collar while they rattled on, talking louder over his increased barking and finally I said..."Look, this screen door is really old and doesn't close properly and I'm not really sure how much longer I can hold on to his collar" they didn't say a word, they just looked at each other and RAN so very fast to their car and you know, they never came back
