Out-standing Calls

Ever knock on a door and have an outstanding call for what ever reason,good or bad.?

I cant name names because I'll end up giving my old congregations name / area away and I don't want to do that.

I was out one Sunday afternoon with an Elder we were doing a nice area but having no interest, we knocked on a door and a scruffy looking bloke came to the door (I recognised him straight away), the Elder presented the mags and got a no thanks and started to put the mags away as the door started to shut. Quick as a flash I jumped in there and said something like " wait a sec you're xxxx xxxxx aren't you !!!" and he said yes. He was the lead singer of a group that were kinda big in the UK but would later go on to become even bigger in the states. They had released a single about gods sick sense of humour (please don't name it if you guess it) so I brought it up and asked him what it was about. I stupidly mentioned that I had the 12" We chatted for a good 10 minutes about God and I placed my mags and I was well pleased because I'd recognised him where as the Elder hadn't plus I'd turned it into a successful call. However the Elder must have been smarting because no sooner were we down the drive than I was being counselled about owning dodgy records

Are you serious??!! That damn elder was just jealous!

How does that make you feel? I mean, being a grown man and having someone "instruct" you one what records you should be listening to.

I just towed the line and humbly accepted the counsel, it was a song about people dying and stuff and God just laughing at them. It was explained to us that someone in the group was a "born again" and that at their church they had a list of sick people that the congregation would pray for but that that person nearly always ended up dying.

I was always in trouble for something petty (ministerial whipping boy) so I was always trying to do the right thing, so I did what I was told and destroyed it. Ive kicked my self since though because I really liked that track

I had this return visit going for a while on a guy named Gozz. I loved having him as a call because it was fun to say his name. "Let's go see Gozz!"

Then one day I saw his mail -- his name is Gus. It was his accent that made it sound like Gozz.

The fun was gone. :-(

You'd think elder XXX&XXX would have been happy that the placement got off the ground, regardless for who and under what circumstances the magazine was placed.

No, I'd shown him that I knew (on first name terms lol) the lead singer of what to him was a satanic rock group and that I owned one of their satanic records and knew the words. At the time I had *really* short hair, rode a motor bike and had just got my first tattoo done and I was always in trouble thanks to the other Brothers ( lol, honest ) so he was just waiting for another chance to spiritually kick my buttt

It was a bit like knocking on a porn stars door and telling her in front of an elder "Oh I've got all your movies"
