I ring the door bell. Nothing. I ring again. Nothing. I move on. The other pub says...yo holmes...someone at the door. I go back. Elderly lady: WUDAYA WANT??? Hmm. I have a tract for you to read. She glances..."YOU WOKE ME UP. STOP BRINGING THAT SHIT TO MY HOUSE. DAMN IT. YOU WOKE ME UP."
This sucks cause I only go out once to meet my 1hour quota...well...this is going to count for 10. damn goats.
wac - "of the wake up old ladies to bring 'em shit class" she is so right though
That's not so bad! When I was witnessing in my home town years ago, someone sicked the dogs on me and another Witness. Thank God they had muzzles on and were on the other side of the fence, so they couldn't reach us. But they looked vicious and we hurriedly raced to the car and went on to another street. In the meantime, the not-so-happy man had called the cops in an effort to stop us from preaching. Of course, the cop just took our names down and did not stop us. So, that day should have counted for a whole years' pioneer quota. Sorry about the triple posts. Not sure how that happened.

This just confirms what I've always said, and say to jws who happen upon my porch:
You aren't here out of genuine concern for my spiritual well being or because you truly care about others who aren't a part of your religion. You are here to meet some type of quota and earn your brownie points that will delusionally get you into the paradise earth.
Basically, you are conning these people into thinking you are here because you care about THEM, when in actuality you care only for YOURSELVES.
You deserve no respect for this conjob you pull on people. Shame on you for your dishonesty.

LOL. Oh! How I wish I had this gumption during my last year of field service...!!
-Aude.
I only had sympathy for day sleepers (night workers). Most put up signs but so many JWS have tunnel vision or think the sign is fake and it is a conspiracy to keep JWs away.
But if it is 10:30 in the morning, I have no expectations to believe that someone is sleeping. If I were her I would place a call to the KH asking them not to call, put up a no trespassing sign, and keep a mean looking dog tied to the stoop.

Well it's official, this counts for the rest of the year.
Has anyone NOT been cursed at the doors?
And in retrospect, how can you blame people for doing so?
I know that my reaction if the dubs call around now is along the lines of
"#### OFF - Rude letter following!"
In my time with the borg, the most extreme reactions seemed to originate from the farmers who lived in the more remote locations.
These seemed to take particular exception to their privacy being disturbed.
Anyway, threats to have the roadway / driveway blocked behind us were common - and warning shots from a rifle were not unknown.
On at least one occassion, this backfired on the would-be gunman:
-the "brothers" genuinely believed that someone had been shot, reported the matter to the police, and the would-be gunman ended up having his firearms confiscated.
a couple of times - and sworn at many, many times
