I think that's what Richie was doing when the 'borrowed' the Flock Book.
Seems to me that phone witnessing was the reason he was in the elder's house.

In my last congregation the telephone line was multiplexed and the elderly had a telephone witnessing group there every week - they looked up not-at-homes, socialised and swapped cake and didn't have to pay for the calls.

There was actually a demonstration of this at a convention years ago. I also know they called people who lived in gated communities, they also sent tracts via mail. There was a man at our KH who couldn't go out in service and this is how he counted time. He actually help start some studies via this initial correspondence. It amazes me to this day.

It's all organized. Every Wednesday at this one couple's place, all the dubs looking for easy time get togther and call people up at dinnertime.
Count me out.

A lot of dubs here felt pretty pressured to try it when there was a big kick about it a year back. I always figured not all avenues of service were for everyone. I always had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I didn't like talking on the telephone, but on the other at least you didn't have to see the householder. Then there is the fact you can make more "calls" in the morning and in some of those groups while three of four people are listening. Plus it's much easier to see who hasn't take their turn in a while than in car groups where you are switching who you work with.
