Another exaggeration...Jehovahs Witnesses meet with each other before we knock on doors and we dont even meet with each other at 9 AM. I dont get offended easliy but when it comes to my faith I wont back down especially when stereotypes and misleading info is involved. You should probably keep the narrative with basketball because you sounding more like an uneducated and misinformed jackass by the minute

Agreed. It may not be my faith, but I respect anyone who lives a life that calls them to greater things. Let’s share some respect amongst us here.


Well all I know is 2 of those guys knocked on my door a while back at 9 am on a Saturday morning and woke me up! My German shepherd got really upset about it.

I'm 32. If I had made enough money in my life up until now to retire this year, I can say I certainly would. Definitely. No doubt.

Nah, man. But someone’s religion is a deeply personal thing. Insulting any and all members of a faith merely by their association with said faith is not kind, and certainly not a great reflection upon the one that makes the statement. Much like insulting all of a race, club, sport, etc.

Someone is being to butt hurt over a minor joke about people riding bicycles and knocking on doors! I suppose I should end up like the guy in this video! "I had a lovely supper and All I said was that piece of Halibut was good enough for Jehovah!"

If you think that was a minor joke, you’ve got a bad sense of humor. Sorry wacko. I love ya, it you were off base there. Stereotypical jokes like that aren’t funny. They’re low hanging fruit, generally unfair, and not funny.

which never would have been said, because there never was a God named Jehovah. I won't bore you with off topic trivia, but Jehovah was a Christian mistranslation of the Jewish Bible.

Live your life man. Make your comments. Just know that your reputation will be affected by it. You want to spout hate, I, and likely many others, will just see you as a hate filled guy that sees slurs and ugly stereotypes as jokes.

Respect for all should be paramount here. In all we do.

You know I don't give a flying you know what about what other people think of me. That's the absolute truth.

Oh and my German Shepard is terrible offended that you said I have a bad sense of humor he thinks I'm the funniest human in the world. He's always laughing at my jokes.
