Here's how my 4th of July went. This is taken from my blog. I'm so upset, I need to tell the community.
I live downtown Shakopee and take care of my mother who is disabled. Despite her disability, she spends most of her days out working in her yard.
Well, Today is the 4th of July and around 6:30pm I heard a scream outside and it was my mother. I went out to see what was going on and what I saw was our porch vandalized, plant pots flipped over, and one of those stupid Jehovah's Witness flyers wedged in the door.
Talking to my mom with a police officer, it turns out during the last month or so, two young JW men on bikes wearing hats, white shirt and black slacks have been approaching her during the afternoon and according to my mother, their names are "Elder" and "Elder". Apparently, there have been a couple occasions where my mom would get into heated arguments over God and religion. Whoever these solicitors are, have targeted our house and now they think that intimidation is going to convert my mother. Well, I have good news for them...
It's probably not as good of news as the return of Christ, but close to it!
I'm going to the temple tomorrow to raise holy hell with whoever is training these scumbags. It will be the story of Nate in the Temple destroying things because a couple morons in the congregation (cult?) decided to intimidate a disabled woman with a highly protective son. Now they have me to deal with and I will find them. I promise, when this is over sometime before noon tomorrow, I will put the fear of God into them and they'll know a new chapter, The Book Of Nate. It will be an elegant story of biblical proportion about that happens when 2 men mess with the wrong lady.
I guess that's what you get when you try to intimidate my mom...
Update:
So, the next day I called around to every JW phone number I could find and Left messages. No one returned my phone call. I'm at the point where I'm too upset to go to their temple (Also called "Kingdom Hall") because I don't want to cause a scene dealing with these cowards. But I've been doing some thinking:
WOMEN, BEWARE!
I spend quite a bit of time outside, not as much as my mother and it strikes me; I've never, -in the last 5 years been approached by anyone. It concerns me that these scoundrels are preying on vulnerable people, especially women like my mother outside by herself working in her garden. I keep thinking of the police officer who came to our house. He made it sound like the this JW community in town is more of an aggressive cult and less indicative of the traditional philosophies and beliefs of this Christian faith.
The explanation was basically obscured by his professionalism, and I tend to think when it comes to theft, burglary, or vandalism, police officers don't care about the public unless you're a business owner. -And I have a brother, father, and cousin...All deputy sheriffs in different Minnesota counties. I've grown up listening to how there's not much police can do when this sort of crime happens.
It's just very annoying and the best thing we can do to prevent this is placing "NO SOLICITING" in every door. However, if you research the matter, these hunyucks don't view their door to door BS as soliciting. They have won recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions; claiming they're not selling anything and obeying trespassing laws, door-to-door peddling ordnances with all the signs, bells and whistles in our yards, windows and doors, are direct violations of their 1st Amendment (-Can you believe that crap?). So, they can still knock on your door legally.
What is recommended, are signs that read "NO PROSELYTIZERS." -Just make sure you spell that word right if you make your own signs because I'm sure these ******s would argue since it's misspelled, it's okay to bother you.
