We have a mystery going on. Every morning for the past two days we have found religious pamphlets for a faith different from our own stuffed in our mail box. Have a suspicion that it is coming from one of our neighbors.

Told DH that I was tempted to put a sign in the mailbox with a line from that old song 'Signs' that says "Thank ya Lord for thinkin about us, we're alive and doin fine!"

This may be a touchy subject for some if it is I do apologize but why do some people believe that the only route to heaven is through the doors of their particular church?

Reminds me of the old joke. The man died and found himself standing at the pearly gates. St Peter looked at him and asked, 'What church do you belong to, Sir?' The man looked at St Pete and said, Why, I'm a (fill in the religion of your choice), Why does that matter? St Peter said, "That is how we do things up here. I want you to go down this street to the first house on the right, that is where all the (fill in the blank) go in heaven'. The man nodded and made his way down the street. Another man came up and St Peter asked him the same Question. The man said, I am (fill in the religion of your choice), St Peter said "See the second house on the right down this street?" The man nodded. "That," St Peter informed him, is where all the (fill in the blank) folks live here in heaven. A third man approached the pearly gates and St Pete asked him the same question. The man replied, I am (fill in the religion of your choice), St. Peter. To which St. Peter replied, see that third house on the right down the road here?" The man nodded. "Well that is where all the (fill in the blank) stay here in Heaven but be real quiet going by the first two houses. They think they are the only ones up here!"

I've had a lot of fun with this joke, switching the religions. Told it to a lot of ministers also.

I'd really like to find out who was doing the stuff the tracts in the mail box though so I could get them back to them so they could give them to somebody who really needs them.
 
@microchick, I had a group that was persistent in their attempts to convert me in spite of my reassurances that I believed in my own way. Finally one day I just happened to be nude when I opened the door. They never returned. You might get in trouble if you wait by your mailbox like that, but it worked for me.

:yuckyuck

The young Amish men ride by the house real slow and gawk at me when I'm out in real hot weather dressed in shorts and tank top weeding. If I stripped completely that would really cause a pile up of horse traffic in front of our house!:lau:gig
 
I, We have a very strong beliefs in God and how we live out lives.. My Ma kicked a violent man from the home when I was 2 1/2 .. she was a god fearing church goer .. but the thoughts of divorce in 62 she was told to withdraw from the choir sit at the back of the church and take us from Sunday school.. I was raised by the bible and my folks I have deep beliefs but do not go to church.. so endeth the rant

we used to ride on Miramar land it used to be a gun range back during Korea... We stuck to the fire roads. IN the very hot weather we would wear bakini tops under our shirts and strip those shirts off soon as we were out in the middle of no where... About fifteen of us Girls and OUr leader Helen... who was in her sixties and packed a side arm... She didnt bother with a bathing suit top.... She would whip her shirt off showing off her Double EEs... And wave at the helicopters as they scanned us.....

ONly once did we get stopped by MPs. Told to turn around and go back and Fire arms werent allowed so if we had any ... unload and stowe them.

We were lucky we had our shirts on.

Loved growing up in a Military Town.... :lau
