We we ever find out how this little saga ends?

Moksha, I will second DrW's request for an ending. That was absolute gold.

"We've come to tell you about the True Gospel™," they said as the sat down next to us. You could tell Mommy was so panicked by this intrusion that she was unable to push the security button. All she could do was to let out a small hissing sound.

I spoke up, "You better make this quick, Mommy needs to go lay down". The two thugs who were threatening us started to tell a strange story about gold and an angel. They went on and on and each one said they knew this to be absolutely true and then they said something about the name of Jesus and amen.

Mommy was still panicked and all I could do to help calm the situation was to ask how they could be certain about this story. That is when one of the young punks stuck out his chest and said it was because of NHM.

At least I understood that part about NHM. I told them that Mommy and I had seen those LaBrea Tarpits at the Natural History Museum more than once and that the fossils seemed genuine, but that I would feel more favorably inclined if the museum was located in Orange County. I added that at least it wasn't at Berkley where those students were liable to say whatever came into their pointy heads and would burn our sacred flag to boot. Mommy agreed because she stopped hissing and a tear ran down her cheek.

That was my cue to grab the security buzzer from Mommy and give it a good pressing. Don't know what the Secret Service guys did with those young punks, but at least they won't be around threatening our lives anymore with that talk about the Natural History Museum in LA.

I was a bit disappointed in not being able to try my fast draw, but as they say at the Bohemian Grove, "All swell that ends well".

Brilliant.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

I need to loosen up my neck muscles before reading long posts by the penguin. Just when I think I know which direction he is heading he yanks me in a different one causing minor whiplash.

This infuriated the young man and he lunged at me and the other young missionary got in between me and him. I found out later this young man was George Johnson’s grandson "Colby Johnson" who was a martial arts expert who practiced with the Army Rangers.


So a young missionary tried to karate chop you because you suggested Mormons teach God was an exalted man and some bishop a few decades earlier denied the teaching? And you happened to be at a Mormon Church at the time? Sounds like there may have been a bit more to this story.

I had a Mormon missionary threaten me saying he'd scrape off my face and drink up the spilt blood. but he was my companion and he was desperate that day for a letter from home and plain did not want to help someone move, so I simply forgave him after that flare up and we were back on speaking terms later that day.

2. Last Friday 2/17/2018 I was chatting with some Mormon missionaries at the local Stake on 5th avenue in Vancouver Washington and the Missionaries threatened me with a harassment charge


Why did they want to charge you with harassment?

and then said my life would end soon, I grinned and said I’m 71 years old


Define soon. To a young buck soon could be in 40 years.

so I’ve already lived longer than what the Bible has promised.


You have a greater work yet to do, no doubt.

I then replied is the council of 50 around the corner or a Porter Rockefeller “Avenging Angel” I believe the person who threatened me was Elder Stevens which is an Oxy Moron since he was a very young man


But reasonable considering the name Elder Stevens sounds just like a guy who would call the police on someone for harassment.

So, life can be dangerous talking to Mormon Missionaries , So please pray for my protection since believe the Doctrine and Covenants


And inasmuch as mine enemies come against you ... ye shall curse them; And whomsoever ye curse, I will curse, and ye shall avenge me of mine enemies (Doctrine and Covenants, 103:24-25).

And again, verily I say, whomsoever you bless I will bless, and whomsoever you curse I will curse, saith the Lord; for I, the Lord, am thy God” Doctrine and Covenants 132:47

Ok. I can do that prayer thing for ya. There...done. I certainly hope none of those young nerds loses his cool and socks you.

So, you didn't really feel threatened, right? I wish we had a recording of your exploits. I am sure you didn't provoke anyone into saying what you thought was a threat.
