First question she asked: 'Have you ever wondered why everything up in the Cosmos is so ordered and peaceful?'
I stared at the old dear for a moment in disbelief ( pun intended).
'Ordered? Peaceful? My Dear- there are forces up there so powerful that they are ripping apart the very fabric of time and space. I'll do you a deal- you go away - read Stephen Hawkin - then come back and i'll listen to you - and then i'll read your scriptures with an open mind.'

What is their missionery position when they do come round? Are they expected to recruit a %age to the fold - or is the door-knocking suffice in itself?

A buddy of mine, who is seriously wealthy, was amusing himself cleaning his £250k plus worth of cars.
He had opened the electric gates as a friend was about to arrive.
He didn't see the four JWs untill they approached him.
