Another thing that evolution has not brought up to god's standards. Our eyes are not as well-"designed" as some other animals. Intricate and perfect? Not.

I am amazed how many people feel compelled to tell strangers they are wrong.

They are commanded to do so by their scriptures.

@CoastRiderBill I know this but it is just plain crazy, at least I think so. Isn't this the way we got into this mess in the first place?

Perks of living in a large city.

That actually sounds very creative. Lol

Every one of us, it was amazing. hallelujah

We all converted, every one of us. It was a miracle.

Today we all went door to door, handing out Watchtower magazines.

Beat me to it...darn...

If it was hard, we could have folded it with lots of stiff sharp corners and stuck it, well, you can guess.

My mom used to tell me, "If you ever have to go through a depression, take paper and roll it between your hands till it gets soft enough to use". Lol! She knew this from experience.

We had a small sign so other people could find us. There are always new people that don't recognize anyone.

@GeorgeRocheleau Thought there might have been a bit eavesdropping lol

@ipdg77 We were off in a private corner, there was nobody near us and there was a singer. I saw him walk over and read the sign. He didn't look happy. About 20 minutes later he walked by the table, (there was an exit behind us) and I guess that was when he dropped the note.

We did.

Everyone read it, we laughed. Then we went back to the previous conversation.

I see your point and respect your opinion, but I do think a paper airplane is a more respectful use of the paper than the original note.

I agree with @thislife
I’m respectful of the beliefs of others until they approach me with some form of disrespect, and the note was certainly disrespectful. Once the zealots open that door, they’re fair game.

They were unsolicited, unwelcomed comments in the first place. If they were being respectful they would have kept their comments to themselves. You don't eavesdrop on others conversations, then invite yourself and give your opinion. That's just rude and aggressive.

@TheMiddleWay You're seriously comparing their unsolicited bullshit flyer to a child's drawing? Bad analogy.

Also, where is this awful place where it's "very common" for people in restaurants to go up to strangers who are minding their own business? Unless they're part of the restaurant staff, that isn't normal behavior.

@TheMiddleWay I don't need to ask a waiter. I've eaten at restaurants many times. Just because a place is public doesn't mean that people forget social norms. Interaction among parties happens, yes, but not at the Disney musical level you're suggesting. Also. approaching strangers in a restaurant unsolicited to challenge their beliefs doesn't qualify as friendly engagement. That's just bad manners.

@thislife I don’t always make the best choices. However, as I’ve the benefit of distance from the event detailed, I believe the better choice is to take the road less travelled - the high road.

@FutureFicus it would appear our ideas of disrespectful are different.

@AdorkableMe people are disrespectful in a multitude of ways. This might also be the least offensive. They are enthusiastic about their beliefs and want to share. It isn’t great perhaps but is well intended.

@misternatureboy I’m curious to know if returning in kind (that is with bad manners) in stead of a smile and a nod and the like, creates a kinder world or a more aggressive one.

@AdorkableMe Well said.

@TheMiddleWay "Minding my own business" doesn't mean being completely oblivious to my surroundings. I'm more observant than you seem to think.
This exchange now seems pointless and I have more interesting things to occupy my time with. You and I have different opinions re the aforementioned scenario. I'll leave it at that.

@Ingi The answer seems pretty obvious to me.

I didn't copy down the numbers. Maybe I would have copied them down if we could find the blood of a virgin to write with.
