biking missionaries nearly meet God.

[smilingcat]

Ohh I couldn't resist.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

or should it be CLUELESS!! or maybe its both. shaking my head...

Maybe someone needs to go to a craft store and buy a case of glitter and glitter up their bike and glitter their trousers. (even spell something out on the seat of their pants. ) Maybe all that glitter will make them more visible.

I live in Utah and those guys are everywhere and they should know better. I agree they shoudl be taught some biking safety...report them to their mission president!

I was vacuuming the dog hair (a monumental task) from the back of my SUV when two of these guys came up and offered to help. Never one to refuse a young vacuumer, I let them. One told me about God, while the other worked on mastiff hair. I listened attentively, at the end said, "Bless you, my son" and thanked the guy who did a commendable job of getting the hair out of the car. I left him trying to get the two tons of blond dog hair off his black pants and sweater.

There's a pair currently working my town. I see them everywhere on their bikes. They wear helmets and I've never seen them on the sidewalk. I've never seen them wearing anything other than a white shirt and black pants, either. I don't think it's scandalous to wear just the shirt.

I did see one of them with a flat recently, walking his bike, and I would have offered to help them out, but I didn't really have time to talk.

Yes, I think I have a condo there for taking a guy to jail on the way to his mother's funeral. I didn't believe him....he was wearing a t-shirt and jeans...until I searched the car after arresting him and finding the program!!!
STRAIGHT to He11!

[Trek420]

Well, sad to say if you arrested him he was probably doing something his mother would not have been proud of.

Mmm. Yeah. It was on traffic warrants. I could have let him go...would have if I had believed him. I took him to jail for $300 in warrants on his mother's funeral day. Even the guys think it was cold.

In all fairness, I had to go into the LDS church on a 911 hang-up. We have to respond, but almost always a simple hangup is just a misdial. The call came from the lobby phone and we had no other calls or reasons to be concern. When I went it, I was greeted by the quietest, nicest, conservative group of people...it was refreshing after the Church-in-the-box next door with their rock band and coffee shop and big screens. They were very polite and helpful and grateful that I had arrived to check on them (there was no emergency, their phone is equipped with the emergency button that is the bane of our existence). I was not subjected to the spiel I anticipated based on my experience with the missionaries, just wished a blessed, safe day.

I just wish they would bike in something other than black.

My dad, who studied theology and still has a deep interest in it, used to invite the missionaries in and debate Scripture with them until their heads exploded.

[Crankin]

Oakleaf, that cracked me up. I have a vision of the angel Maroni with an exploding head (people in the SW know what I mean).
I am sorry if this offends anyone. I just dislike any religion that proselytizes and treats the women like cr@p. Plus, it took me 7 years just to get an interview in the Mesa Schools because my last name wasn't Dobson, Hobson, or Robson.

OK, no more. I am so glad that I mostly don''t have to deal with any missionaries anymore.

That's a bummer - our 911 operators can call you back, so they don't have to show up at your door. We have a phone with those big auto dial buttons at the top. Once I dropped the phone receiver and in catching grasped at least one. I was really hoping I'd managed to hit the hang up button quick enough.... but they called me back and asked if everything was OK and I had to fess up. At least I'm not the person who had the tomato dial 911 while they were away on vacation.

[Crankin]

Oxsback, I am sorry I offended you, but what you are saying about women certainly does not match with my experience in Mesa. I could tell you a lot of things, but I won't.
Again, I am sorry.
