Mormon story:
A friend of mine is an ex-Mormon. Once she opened her door to two young scrubbed Mormon boys. They started their spiel, and she snapped, “I know more about it than you do!” She told them a couple of the less exemplary details, and finished with, “Ive been there once and I dont want to go back!” and slammed the door in their faces.
Another friend gets rid of them by saying her father’s a Lutheran minister, and wouldnt they like to visit her church this Sunday?
Little known fact about JWs, they will NOT pary with any other faith. So say to them, “I am a christian and was just sitting down to a bible study why don’t you come in and pray with me?” or just say,“Let’s start this discussion with a prayer.” They WILL NOT pray with you, will make excuses and not come back, they don’t target christians, they try to keep to those who have no faith.My ex answered the door naked and they still came back. Maybe they liked what they saw I didn’t but there’s no accounting for some people’s taste.
*cmkeller: Last year there was a major push by Jews for J to hand out their materials in the New York City subway system. Every time I encountered them, I’d say, “Oh, sorry, I thought you were Christians for Mohammed. Do you have their phone number by any chance?” *
How 'bout Muslims for Moses?
Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded. You’ll find it an effective combination.
[list][li]When I was in 5th grade, I was watching TV one weekend morning. I looked out our front window and saw a friend of mine from school and his father walking up the drive. They were both wearing black slacks and white shirts.[/li]
I called out to my mom that my friend Aaron and his dad were coming up to the door. She asked which of my friends Aaron was.
“One of them that doesn’t stand for the Pledge of Allegiance,” I replied.
“I’m not here,” she firmly stated as she scurried to the den. Not being too clueless, I figured my mom knew what she was doing. I passed on the message like a good little boy.
[li]My first roommate and I had a visit from two missionaries. I didn’t want to talk to them, but my roommate wanted to discuss comparative religions with them. (He wasn’t particularly religious, but he did have a Bible and Koran for intellectual reading.) They started to balk when he offered to show them scriptures from the Koran. Then they asked, “Do you know who we are?”[/li]
“Sure,” he said. “He’s Kirk and you’re Spock.”
Never heard from them again.

I’m sure this was supposed to be ironic, but Moses (Musa) is a recognized prophet in Islam, and one of the rules for joining the club is that you must believe in all of the prophets, so “Muslims for Moses” isn’t all that wacky.
“Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Release the dogs? Or the bees?
Or the dogs with bees in their
mouth and when they bark, they shoot
bees at you?”
I didn’t but there’s no accounting for some people’s taste.
