On average, how many non-JW/Invitees did you see at KHs on Sundays?

I was thinking about my 1 and only visit to a Sunday "service" as an invite, to a KH a few years back.

It never dawned on me til now, but we showed up in Collar Shirt & Slacks / Casual Dress, and immediately felt WAY under dressed (& uncomfortable due to that). And now I think that relatively, there's probably not a lot of new faces that are seen in these small congregations, and although I felt like I was initially just going to another "Church Service"...I really wasn't, was I?

Now I'm thinking that silently, everyone was probably so tuned into my wife, my daugther and I when we showed up and throughout the service. Almost like a gang member just brought new possible recruits in, and we were being watched like hawks....looking to see if we were "Witness" material???, to see how we acted.

So tell me, was everyone focused on us or what?

Am I over anylizing?

We absolutely left there, feeling like we were among what felt like robots or something...that REALLY sticks in my memory of the event.

That's odd...

You usually don't make it out the door before they implant you with the microchip.

When I do, they get the same treatment.

I never watched someone to see if they were 'witness' material. I just looked cuz it was strange to see people without fancy clothes.

Then again, I'm an innocent person :P .

Towards the end of my game, I'd say obviously weird things to new interests, just to wise them up to how weird everything is. It worked on at least one lady who left wide-eyed. It didn't happen a lot though. I don't recall a high proportion of baptisms being from the field.

Not that many and almost never the same people regularly. I was just thinking yesterday, one of the pioneers in the cong. I used to attend, would start studies, invite them to the hall, and then you wouldn't see them much after that. I wonder if it was her method of studying with them, her personality or what.....but I have no idea if she ever aided someone to the point of baptism. It's probably too late to ask her that now.
