    that in britain and scotland they have been having trial areas where cold callers including religious callers are banned, mainly to protect the elderly because there are so many scammers. Apparently the government are now seriously thinking about extending it all over. Would'nt it be great not to worry about them coming knocking at the door?They'd probably just all congregate in the streets and try to catch you that way lol! I did say though that if it did happen they'd probably see it as another sign of the last days, turning against religion etc even though its for salesmen as well. Anyone else hear it?

    You're right... they will claim that this is "a sign of the end" and that religion is being banned.

    I haven't heard it but it would be good if all scammers were kept at a safe distance and the JWs surely belong to that category since they manipulate and exploit their members, that is victims.

    AlphaOmega thanks for putting the bbc site up, i found it mentioned on a times one and a scottish one too where jws were mentioned briefly, but don't lnow how to do links. I just googled cold caller and jehovahs witnesses and saw what it brought up. I must go on a computer course!

    but don't lnow how to do links.

    That was my first "webpage with a post" post

    When you are posting, click on the icon with "internet explorer 'e' on a piece of paper". Then type in your link - it worked for me

    Thanks for highlighting this subject, I wasn't aware of it until you posted.

    Good luck with the links
