It is good to remember, IMO, that at least one Mudcatter, a best beloved Mudcatter, has a life-long partner who is sincere in their Jehovah Witness beliefs. Imagine how it must feel to read of your loved one's group being trashed so often on a site you consider to be full of friends. I thought the thread was about neighbours which, except apparently in Deckman's case, are not necessarily "bible thumper."

One more thing and then I am done. Gnu, a warning at the beginning of your posts about the dog and cat would have been greatly appreciated. It's difficult to get those horrible images out of my mind, I don't know about anyone else. Of course, I lost a cat to a gd dog whose owner let it run loose in Mystic, CT. It ran into my yard, and by what witnesses said, just grabbed her in his mouth and ran. We looked for weeks as someone said they'd seen her body on a road, but we never were able to find her, nor prove anything against the owner. The dog was a known "problem" which the authorities did little about. I can assure you, though, had I had a chance to catch someone and/or their dog doing such, they would be fortunate to still be alive.

One other observation: sometimes "letting nature take its course" would mean several of us would be dead, already, as well as children not vaccinated, etc. It's a pretty broad statement to use as a defence, imo.

With respect,

kat

Jehovah Witnesses at my door, OR in real life, have never ever been anything but polite to me. I`ve entered a few burning structures with a fellow who held to that belief. Never crossed my mind that he was religious--although I suppose we all get a bit religious at times like that. There are some folks who have no class, and dissing people because they have a different `belief` system is more a display of ignorance on the part of the disser than it is a reflection on the dissee. IMO.

I agree with Kat about the JWs. We have a few locally. They're polite, friendly and don't harangue.

Mormons, on the other hand, are a bunch of threatening bullies who dress like the Mafia and behave to match. Politeness is completely wasted on them.

I'll get rid of my wind chimes when the neighbor gets rid of her 4 barking dogs, stops turning off the "invisible fence" at night so they can come piss on my shrubs and crap in my driveway, keeps her garbage where the damned dogs can't get in it so that the wind blows it into my yard, (not to mention the tacky silk flowers she puts out and lets rot until they also blow all over my yard, and keeps her 5 cats inside so they stop killing the birds at my feeders, and using my raised beds as a litter box.

There, glad I got that off my chest.

I think most of my neighbours are at the beach today, and phew, who can blame them. It's so HOT!

`There, glad I got that off my chest.`

I should have a mouthful of blood soon because I`m biting my tongue real hard.

Somebody needs a fence (possibly electric and possibly topped with razor wire) and a lawn sprinkler system activated by a motion detector.

Hmmmm... apparently, I struck a cordite with this thread.

I am sticking to my bottom line. If my neighbours don't show me common courtesy and respect my rights, I believe they are rude.

As for me allowing the neighbour's cat to bully and torture Bear day after day at length after I tried to get the neighbour to do SOMETHING about it, I don't think that is acceptable. A four month old dog choking itself out of breath on it's tether is just not acceptable.

Oh yeah... the neighbour with the windchimes also has a flag next to his front door. It's about 7m from my bedroom window and it flaps in the wind which is quite enough noise to be disturbing during the night but also often smacks the soffit return making even more noise. I have NO idea what the design on the flag is supposed to represent... perhaps "rudeness"?

Re the JWs, I used to be polite. I asked them to stop. They didn't. Every time they came to my door, I told them not to ring Mum's door. They did.... seconds later. That is rude.

I am as nice as pie if you don't throw pie in my face.

I dunno about you guys; personally, I think the nude things the neighbors do are nobody's business but theirs.

My neighbor on the other side from the mad woman, was a JW. A lovely guy, a pretty good friend, we would look after each other's place when the other was away. He even wrote a letter in support of me about all the problems she was causing in the neighborhood with many people. Sadly, he got cancer, and refused chemo, for he had seen what his wife went thru when she did chemo. She tried to persuade him by telling him that the treatment had improved since she did it, but he had made up his mind. I was never bothered by JWs while they were there.

I previously dealt with them at other premises by telling them that I had my own religion, that if they wanted to say a quick prayer, I would do that with them, but that I really did not want them back. They never came back to those premises while I stayed there.
