Re: OTQ

glass of wine usually runs them off.

Oh no, no no, no, not here...
I had a couple of JWs show up here, but rather than come to my door they sent their little 6 yr old son up. Of course I had to be nice to a little boy. But then he started up with everything they'd made him memorize. Had I been saved? And then he proceeded, for no reason whatsoever, to preach to me about the evils of alcohol. And I don't drink. I was horrified that they had trained this poor little boy at his age to pretend to deal with such an adult issue.

Never get 'em here except for the occasional Baptists and JW's. Drinking a 
glass of wine usually runs them off.
