One More...
My parents have been friends with a Jehovas Witness couple for many years, and as such they would pop round every sunday with Watchtower and Awake and explain Christs glory and how it could be achieved by refusing blood transfusions and forsaking wanking, etc. My mum would sopend this time nodding in a polite but non-committal manner.

As a teenager, and also an atheist who was a huge fan of wanking, these visits bugged me, so I sought solace in nipping out for a ritual known as the Sunday Joint, a few strong spliffs and a stroll round the park before home and monging in front of the Antiques Roadshow.

I returned after one particularly muddy trek with my boots caked in mud, so carefully, in that slow, confused manner a huge intake of smoke lends one, removed my well-laced chunky boots on the mat outside the door.

Fiddling witrh the laces, I didnt hear the door open before becoming startled by someone standing over me, leading to a blurt of 'JESUS FUCKING CHRIST'. Inevitably, the startler was the aforementioned Jobos.

Several things happened at the same time then. I lost all blood from my face and bolted upstairs to my room, as the Jobos decided i WAS the antichrist as previously expected, and my poor mother, after years trying to show we were moderately pious decent people, collapsed with shocked hysterical laughter into a heap behind them.

They still come round, but only after Id left home.

Erm....
...Jehovahs Witnesses don't believe in Christ as a Divine Saviour; they're still waiting for him to show up. Which is kinda the point behind their beliefs....
