It kind of gets difficult to politely send them off.
But this is just not limited to Christianity and nothing is an exception.
So three weeks bk a hindi speaking couple knock on the door and say we live in your neighbourhood.
And she says, I see you now and then. I was very pleasantly surprised. So introductions made my hubs invite them in.
They talk about school , college and slowly begin , we thought we should come and say hello to you now atleast. For the last three months we in the wkend to remain connected go and attend the sermons of this particular Guruji and then comes the preaching of that Guruji on vasudeva kutumbakam.
My alarm in the head begins to go off and slowly I get it that they hv come because they are part of this group that believes in engaging with their neighbourhood, something they couldn't be part of when their son was in school.
So a hello comes knocking on the door after three years becos your Guruji suddenly made you understand the Value of vasudeva kutumbakan.
No offence to anyone here but I kind of found it uneasy mentally.
.
A simple hello would hv sufficed . But no they had to get the Guruji thing in.
Nor they are having a sermon at their place with dinner that we have been invited to.
And I'm already Jittery.

More often than not you will find such "preachers" to be the GREEDIEST and the MOST SINFUL of the lot
WHILE trying to get you to take a guilt trip about being agnostic and atheist etc they are actually pushing their "business agenda" of signing u up into their cult to meet the year's "goals"
All funding is driven off of it
All religious organizations work for profit
Its NOT about God, those that get reeled in find out only after its too late
The Kashmiri family in my sub would frequently invite me to watch a "Bhaiji" video some Gujju chap that preaches from a airconditioned open stage in Gujarat while millions swat flies and mosquitoes and endure the 120F/50C Ahmedabad heat to listen to his bull shit about how a person should be helpful generous and not have eershya, and ichha and kaam and moh
ALL while sitting atop a prsitine white mattress surrounded by Hindusims's version of playboy models dressed in "lilly virginal white" that will beat their dholkis and chorus with him when he sings in his besura voice at the end of every 10 minutes of sermon
So anyway I would go JUST to eat the lady's food she is an awesome cook
I wud endure the hour long sermon, it would start at 6 and end at 9 I would go at 8, so I dont have to sit for long, eat, gossip and leave
THAT guy was home for Diwali, when I invited them, he goes "I tried selling my house for 3 months so I can move to Dallas with my wife, (we are building ANOTHER mansion there), this house is paid off fully, son has a full ride at UT Dallas, so I am thinking I will rent the house for winter and make $1700 a month and move to a 1BHK apartment, until I find myself a job in Dallas so I can move and bve with my wife" "Its a fully paid house so the rent is FULLY PROFIT ONLY"
I looked at him and chuckled and thought
"What a piece of work you are, you listened to HUNDREDS of hours of video of that phony crook of a Bhaiji and you still talk about profiting?"
Those that preach and chant and propagate the LOUDEST are the biggest crooks Kalpana
