What are some things that happened to you on the ministry?

I had a guy who i was street witnesses swallow his cigarette after chewing it after telling me he was an athiest. We called him a loser afterwards but still...good times

One person set a big dog on us so we used the old umbrella trick. This umbrella had a button that made it extend then explode in the dogs face. WE HAD LAST LAUGH!!!! - (on a serious note, i realised to my horror...i was on a walk with one of my aunts and some of her friends and the guy who had his dog umbrella'd was with us and SO WAS HIS DOG!!!!!!!!! but he didn't recognise me)

"Whilst in the ministy™" .. good one kw, let me add that to my growing list of watchtowerisms.

A bloke could write a book on dog experiences™:

!973 Posh Adelaide suburb:

Special Pioneer gives me a lecture: "Yes you can witness that house .. the lead holding back the dog should allow you just enough room to squeeze past and onward to the front door. Dogs are mostly all bluff you just gotta know how to handle 'em"

Ok, so I did just manage to sqeeze past the maniacle raging alsatian, its glistening teeth snapping just inches from my gumby. I did get to the door and knock hoping to Jah that someone answered and called off the beast straining at the wire lead and yes I did manage to slip a tract under the door and sqeeze back past the enraged beast and safely back onto the street. And yes, I did turn the corner to witness said special pioneer bolting down the road with a wild pigdog quickly gaining.

Later I asked "what happened" and he replied "It was asleep and I just made a friendly clicking noise".

We had an elder who got bitten on the hand. It was very serious. Oddly enough, many in the congregation were more concerned as to why "Jehovah's" angel didn't protect him than they were about the condition of his hand. It was a subject for debate for a few days.

If only I had time to waste on B.S. like that now. .

Well Open Fire Glass has made the case for JW's carrying shotguns lol.

Here it's now illegal to keep a viscious dog and JWs have had peoples dogs 'put down' by the police who are often happy to oblige.

A CO once related taking a newbie out on field service in Figi where the dogs are big and bad. On approaching the first door he noticed the brother had a gun in his bag! .. just then a big dog came attacking from arround a corner of the house .. brother newbie pulled out the gun and hit the dog in the nose with a blast of cloroform instantly dropping it into a sleep.

Dreaming he was, slowly as he tells the story, he will be the one with the gun.
