They'd surely have been in deep trouble, had they succeeded; whatever were they thinking!
How bizarre - we lived in the country & an older couple had a small farm nearby. I was only told they were 'some weird religion' but they'd often sweep past in their car, (looking to neither right nor left as they passed) & didn't associate with any of the rest of us who lived locally so I wondered in later years if they were EB's.
They're the lot who won't vote - against their daft belief system for some reason - but who nonetheless, tried to influence the outcome of an election a few years back by making large donations to National. I think it was around the time when John Key was PM but could be wrong.
There really is nowt so queer as folk!
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
