I've got this neighbor...
He thinks he's the 2nd coming of Christ.
No kidding, he calls himself Apostle Klafani and holds exorcisms/prayer services/tribal dance rituals every FARKING night. Tuesdays being the worst with his 7:30 "Bible Study". If I still had his flyer he placed on my door I'd scan it and show you that what he claims. I think I can remember a few of them
He can:
Eliminate my debt.
Get me to heaven.
Get rid of evil spirits in my house or my person.
Help me find my way in life and a buttload of other stuff.
Now, he has not said ONE word to us since he moved in 6 months ago. His wife waved once, his kid (boy) is a very nice and well behaved kid. (who has to spend several nights practicing the preaching thing) You might ask how I know this? Well, I get up on Sunday morning to have a nice quiet time with my coffee and newpaper and my hang over. But what do I hear through my walls and windows? "PRAAAAIIIIISE THE LORD, HE'S COMING FOR YOU...........REPENT........." etc. Since Sunday is the quietest time, of course I hear it the best in the house.
(side note: One sunday, at 9am, before I sold the boat, I went out there, put on the muffs on the drive and fired up the 454 for about 10 minutes, making sure that the temps got up to where I felt they needed to be and popped the throttle kinda good. His service was quite the next 30 minutes. I loved it.)
Now it might sound like we live in the projects but the houses in this area cost from 150k to 500k, ours being somewhere in between. The house he currently occupies has been up for "rent" many times and out of the blue we have this fellow. Rude farking bastage that he is.
Now get this, neither he nor his wife work. The "congregation" he has includes one elderly white woman and his family. And the tribal beats just go on and on and on. Not to mention the fact that everything you have heard about colored churches is true, if you live next to this guy. (Screaming, singing, ranting, raving)
I happen to spend a lot of my time off in the garage, which just happens to face his "church". I've been a really nice guy about it all.
What the hell can I do about this? Well, being the non *** that I am (heh) I decided that the best place for my home stereo and 15" subs was in the garage I've spent the last several months remodeling. Any time he is a bit loud, I drown him out. We had our friends that live 2 houses down come out of their house one night to find out where the noise was coming from. Well, Ang and I just happened to have some music up in the garage and had a little Dance Session. (the bass was making the house rattle across the street :laugher: )
Do you think I should continue the way things have been going, with a sort of "peace" with my turning my music up during his performances and wait till he complains about me, or should I call the locals to ask him to quit.
Oh, he preaches in his living room with a rather annoying LOUDSPEAKER system.
Thanks for letting me rant, but I needed to vent and get some good advice.
