Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 08, 2009

Mark, I having a bit of trouble with this one. Is he saved because he’s on the roof? Is he going to jump on their heads????

Sounds like a good idea to do with those JW’s. By the way, they stopped coming to OUR house because they couldn’t answer our questions concerning salvation, he he he..

JW’s are a bit weird.

Where’s that giant squid when you really need him?

Never mind the squid, Lio. See if you can borrow The Addams Family’s boiling oil!

That is a a good idea lio next time put up a rock wall maybe that might keep them out

Next time they show up at your house, ask them this:

“If power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, what does that make God?”

Those aren’t Jehovahs, they’re dressed in standard issue LDS uniforms and they aren’t dragging along a little kid in a leisure suit and a bowtie.

Well, I’m guessing whatever Lio is planning to do won’t have these guys smiling anymore.

lio must think that the brochure is about are you saved from a little mad scientisst who lives in your house

Whenever a “religious” person comes to the door and asks “are you saved?” I just say yes and politely close the door. If they knock again don’t answer and they get the message.

JW’s knocked on our door in Guatemala. They cowered when they saw that we were four white guys in white shirts and ties with nametags reading “Elder”. Ah, the joys of being a missionary.

What a big comic!

Personally, I would have expected Lio to do what my friend did when he saw the JW’s coming up the street… rig up a quick human sacrifice with his girlfriend as the “victim” in full view of the front door.

Regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses… I figure one visit to Lio’s house, chock full of giant squids, occult paraphenalia, and other questionable material, and the address would be marked as “avoid” until the end of the world (which the JWs predict every so often…)

“Benedict… I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Christ Jesus is on the phone. He has returned as prophesized! The bad news…He is calling from Salt Lake City.”

(And why do we only see male “elders”? And why the lack of crucifixes in Temple decoration?)

I, too, was thinking of the Addams Family Christmas caroling cartoon. Or at least a trapdoor under the “Welcome” mat.

LDS missionaries do not wear “uniforms”. They wear church clothes, you know, the kind you wear to church when you have respect for God and the church building? Black slacks, white shirts, normal haircuts, ties suits. However, these are imitation LDS missionaries because they lack two things that nail them as LDS.

Torsten: I don’t know of any church that calls their women “elder”!

No crosses on an LDS temple is because the LDS celebrate his resurrection, which he proved, instead of constantly crucifying him. He died for our sins, yes, it was part of God’s plan so we could do our best to grow and learn (not confess and then do it all over again, on and on) with true repentance brought about by a broken spirit and contrite heart. But to know we will be resurrected at the correct time, aye, that’s the real dessert!

Here’s a mental hotfoot I always wanted to pull:

First, I was going to get a box of these:

And then I was going to dress up Goth and take them door to door…

“Hi, I’m Simon, from the New Church of the Anti-Christ, and we’re raising money for a new sacrificial altar by selling these yummy candy bars….”

One branch of my GF’s family consists of hard-core gun-nuts, so it was not considered strange for someone to give one of her aunts a present of a new shoulder holster for her latest handgun purchase. She decided to break it in by wearing the holster with the gun while vacuuming the house. (In that family that was normal behavior.)

Imagine the look on two JW’s faces when they were greeted at the door by a middle-aged pistol-packing mama. She didn’t even have to ask them to leave.

IncredibleWerekitty says: JW’s are a bit weird. JWs are a bit weird? This coming from a person who reads the Lio cartoon. Isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle black? ;) Also ‘The_Jam’, I really doubt that. More like they answered your questions and the answers weren’t what YOU wanted to hear because it meant that you would have to get up off your backside and actually do something instead of just having salvation handed to you on a silver platter, “he he he”.

Maybe the two are Baptists. JW’s carry “The Watchtower.” Maybe the point is Lio’s creative escape - who else would have 30 feet of rope and a grappling hook available just in case two whomevers come to the door.

Liō just wanted to get closer to heaven without the three hour presentation…

You know… we Jehovah’s Witnesses might be wierd but we are smart in our ministry. We drive cars, take breaks, and the whole family can join in. Yes we take the kids, but we try not to tire them out and for the most part, they enjoy it. Compare that to the LDS who ride bikes or walk, go out in pairs of men only and who i rarely see taking a break. I’m not saying that JW’s are perfect, but we try to be understanding (though some can be pushy and annoying but you can find those in every religion).

Well, they could be insurance salesmen… and I’m sure there are actuarial tables which apply to Lio’s lifestyle!

Hey Jello-08, nice to see another one of us out here. ;) How do you like some of these comments. Wow

The thing that always got me about JW’s is the fact that only a fixed number of people would be saved. For the amount of time they have been around I think they have hit their quota of souls. Or it might be the the best what ever number it is will be saved out of the whole religion when the rapture comes so this means these guys activly go around recruiting people who will potentialy kick them out of the big boat when it sails. Sorry JWs but I think I’ll take a religeon that gives me better odds. Heres a cool thing to try the next time a mormon or JW comes around. Try recruiting them for the Talaban.

This is not funny!!!!!!!! I am one of Jehovah’s witnesses. We simply believe that through Jesus’ ransom sacrifice humans have the hope of being ressurected from death on a paradise Earth, completely free of pollutants and wicked governments. There is nothing wrong with us. Perhaps Lio should talk to them and learn about all the satanism he has been dabbling in(more like submersing in) so he can get rid of it.

Jokerhaha

ITS A STINKING CARTOON

DEAL WITH IT!

Look out beloooooow!!!

Glad for the Mormons and JWs who actually clarified their religion on this page. Anyway, at boozoo, it can be confusing to tell who’s LDS or JW if you can’t see a nametag, but I’m Mormon and you just don’t hear that phrase, “Are you saved?” in the church. Those guys are total JW.

I’m just waiting for the last two grandparents to go (no, I do not want them to go) so I can openly denounce the LDS Church and deliberately get excommunicated. I’m not exactly enamored with the idea that I need someone else to tell me what God (or the gods) is (are) about. I prefer to study and come up with my own views, TYVM.

And folks, especially jokerhaha, take what comixmaster1000 said to heart. IT’S A COMIC! IT’S HUMOR!! GROW A SENSE OF ONE ALREADY!!!

Sorry, but that really isn’t something to joke about, and it is offensive.

??? wow lio you own monsters robots bombs and other evil things and yet this is what you run from i mean really last time they came to my door i got my battle axe

Yeah, pretty sure those are Mormons. They’ve come to my house a time or two.
