Just one more feature that I have no use for, of a product I have no use for. They are talking about the many features of the field misery, as if it were a product. Door to door. Calls. Studies. Street work. And the new features--parking lots, bus stops, drive-bys, and now setting up booths at colleges and stores. I have no use for any of these "features".
I wonder how long it will be before colleges see the witlesses for what they are. They will round up as many students as possible, and if any join, they will be ordered by the Tower to drop out of college. That is like someone setting up a booth at Wal-Mart and telling customers to go to Target or K-Mart. It is costing the colleges business, and hopefully the administration will start kicking the witless setups off the campuses for driving away business.
Ditto for stores. While they are not ruining business in stores as they are in colleges (unless they impede the flow of customers or drive them to another store by incessantly hounding them), they are soliciting a scam. Most stores have a policy against solicitation. If I was the store manager or district manager of a large chain, requests for exceptions on that policy would have to be for a good cause. Things like raising money for disaster relief, the Red Cross and Salvation Army, or something like USA For Africa would be acceptable. As would a political protest that is peaceful and serves some useful purpose (like a demonstration against a law that undermines freedom or will cause a major economic or health crisis). Under no circumstances would I grant a variance for a religious group promoting its own purposes, and definitely I would refuse to grant scams a variance.
I hope these administrators and managers wake up. I hope they stop granting the witlesses access to their premises to set up booths for the purpose of promoting the organization. It is a scam. There is no good reason to allow someone to promote a scam at a place of education or business.
