 how can I, in a polite way preferably, get them to leave me alone? every week a group of them come onto our campus and hand out these little magazines...there is no way to get away from them. this morning an older woman chased me down just to give me one, even though I kept telling her that I was not interested...she insisted, I guess she was trying to "save" me or something...because I obviously look like someone who needs to be saved (since you know, I have attained satan and all: IMO → Your child is a GOTH repent ) anyway, they hand out these little magazines that can be pretty fun to read. today’s magazine has a rather large headline, "Did Moses Really Exist?" and from what I read in it, it pretty much says things like, well to sum it up: "scientists and theologians say that since no archeological evidence exists to prove the existence of Moses, Moses may not have ever really existed. But we have the proof that he did exist, because it's in the Bible." (maybe I should start a new thread asking if Moses really existed so I can offer the proofs that are in this magazine) I kept trying to find where they provide some type of proof, but all I could find was criticisms for scientists for saying such things and "counter-proofs"...that are located in the Bible. I have heard some peoples ways to get them to leave you alone, and some were very funny...I just cannot recall any of them... posted by allone |

 that happens to me quite often too allone, i usually get them on the bus or subway on my way home from uni...they're really really nice and some of them would just give me their pamphlet/brochure or whatever and i take it and say "thank you" with a smile, because theres no need to be all rude about it. if you don't want one, don't take one its as simple as that and theres totally nothing wrong with doing that. and even though i know im going to throw it out(actually recycle i  ) i wait until i get home so they don't see me do it in front of their face, b/c that would be kinda rude, imo.
anyways but allone's example is a bit more extreme, and it has happened to me...a really REALLY good looking guy on the bus, wearing a suit and tie, clean shaven...the works, starts talking to me so of course i get all giddy and whatever, but then he whips out this reading and asks me if ive heard of them, and if i understand the state that the world is in, if only more people could be "saved"...so then i was like...ok, well thank you for your time and again i took it. and he's like sure, no problem. he was really nice anyway the point is that i took it and went on my way -- no big deal. i don't see it as a hassle but then again you have no obligation to take it or pretend to be interested or anything like that...im merely sharing my own experiences... i guess it also depends on the veracity of the person...some will back off if you say no thanks, some will chase you down (in this case i would take it and leave it alone) others will insist to the point of being a harrassment -- that's never happened to me, but if it would i wouldnt feel guilty for being rude and abrupt because no one wants that and they don't really have any right to harrass a person on their way to work or whatever right? so...i don't know...i say take it with a grain of salt -- its just easier posted by gkiss |

 A friend of mine told me a funny story about some Jehovas witnesses. A bunch of them thought the end of the world was coming, and they also thought that there would be one place left unharmed in the world, and that was a small area in Denmark. So they buy plane tickets, but the funny thing is that they bought return tickets lol! posted by seraphim |
