    Ew. Leave out a box of tissues and hopefully he'll choose somewhere more private next time

    That looks like a t - Are you sure Michael Flately hasn't been around hoping to drum up interest in his Lord of the Dance show?

    Seems legit. Might not be a bad idea to tidy up a little bit and get some biscuits in, just in case.

    It could be a misspelling psychic telling you that you're going to win "the lotto".

    You're a little bit mad? Really? You've obviously got little to be worrying about.

    It's a little bit mad to be honest.

    If you don't repost that through another persons letter box, your genitals will shrivel up and fall off.
    If you do, and say the name of your love 5 times, they'll ask you out

    Surely they have to photocopy it ten times and post through 10 of their friends letter boxes?

    He invites himself I notice. Probably wouldn't even bring a bottle of wine. I'd draw the curtains and pretend to be out.

    I can confirm that the Lord God is indeed coming to Galway. On Friday 29th Kevin McHugh will lead the Finn Harps attack against Mervue United.

    Bow down and do him homage, don the sacred blue and white vestments and utter the prayer "Waken Up Harps!"- for the chosen one shall be amongst you.

    Wasn't that the 3rd secret of Fatima?

    No. That was what was going on in Paddy McGranaghan's head. There's some things we're just not meant to know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Bloody Jehova's Witnesses, they were in Cork a few days ago knocking on doors and handing those flyers out. I was about to have a shower so they had to put up with an irate and dishevilled man with an unkempt beard and long hair staring at them until they went away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭dilallio


    Someone called to the door yesterday asking me if I would become a Jehovah's Witness. I told him - Sorry, I didn't see the accident.
    Shut the door on him.

    Seriously though, don't throw away those leaflets - they are like gold-dust - anytime a Sky / Eircom Phonewatch / Airtricity salesperson calls to the door, ask them if they have been 'Saved' and show them the leaflet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 364 ✭✭Little My


    Are the Jehovah's Witnesses leaving notes like this?

    Still a bit disconcerted as I have asked our neighbours and they neither had a visit nor a friendly note.

    Hi Little My,

    yeah, a tall guy with a big black beard put exactly the same message through my letterbox, i live up past Taylor's Hill.
    He was going around putting them through everyone's letterbox.
    I went out to him and started asking him questions. I asked him to leave the estate - he said he wasn't harming anyone and that he was just doing what he was told to do.
    "Who asked you to do this?"

    "God".

    The man is mentally ill.

    Are you a guard, or is the estate private property?

    Are you a psychiatrist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭the raven


    Anyone who has direct contact with a god has some serious problems.

    Whether I'm a psychiatrist or not isn't an issue, the man was passing unsolicited, offensive and upsetting material to my private home and to my neighbours, whom I respect, and I took it upon myself to ask him to leave the estate.

    A request isn't an order, I don't need to be a guard to ask someone to leave.

    I find it ridiculous that you challenge me on this.

    the tae has been waiting since Tuesday and the biscuits are soft from sitting open on the table, I don't think he's coming at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 364 ✭✭Little My


    Thanks for the update, it's good to know that we aren't the only ones being told to expect a visit.

    Well I find most election material Sinn Fein to be unsolicited, offensive and upsetting (to pick but one example).

    That doesn't give me the right to tell them not to distribute the material to my neighbours - or not to distribute it to those of my neighbours who I respect.

    If someone is in your private property doing something that you don't like, then by all means ask them to leave.

    But if someone is in your estate behaving in a way that is out of order, then call the guards: they are the ones with authority to move them along, or arrest them if they are breaking laws.

    looks like it could of been Mrs O Bumble at your door, the raven!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    It is a bit worrying having someone out of touch with reality roaming around an estate, particularly if there are kids out etc.
    However the guards might be a better bet than confronting him yourself. He mightn't be breaking any laws but they might know his background and if there's cause to be worried they might have a word with him and warn him off. Also if he is mentally ill Id prefer to think he'd be handled with care, not ridiculed or intimidated,for everyones best interest. Not suggesting you'd handle it like that Raven but it's probably not the best if people just take it upon themselves to go sorting something like this out.

    Sure it does, you have every right to tell them such. They have every right to ignore what you tell them. :D

    You mean like a banking executive, or a drunk student? :pac:


    The vast majority of people who live with mental illnesses are no danger to anyone except themselves.

    Just because someone believes in God, and feels inspired to distribute literature about it does not make them mentally ill.

    Comment's like the Raven made simply perpetuate stereotypes.

    I've been following this thread with interest.

    I find it hard to believe that the badly spelt and poorly written note, that Little My posted, constitutes literature.

    More like some local children having a good laugh after being forced to go to Sunday School:D.

    Someone hand scrawling notes predicting an end of times on the instruction of God sounds out of touch to me.

    And of course the vast majority of mentally ill people are not dangerous at all.Sometimes though someone who is mentally unwell does something provocative like distributing notes and draws unpleasant attention to themselves that they might not be able to cope with.For their own sake as much as anyone else's they'd probably be wiser to handle their faith /inclinations towards evangelising differently in my opinion.Id much rather think anyone dealing with them would err on the side of caution.

    He has just left my place. He cycled up, rang the bell and when I opened the door he said:
    "Watch the Middle-East - the day of judgement is coming" He mentioned something about Joshua, got on his bike, and rode off.

    Very strange.

    Handy to know all the same:)

    Can't help feel a bit worried for him,that he mightn't be quite well,would knock on the wrong persons door and things could get out of hand. Here's hoping this ends well!
