I can just visualize a car group of sisters taking turns calling a random householder in order to start their time before they left the KH parking lot. Then off to some not-at-home return visits,then arrive at a territory and knock on a few doors- more not at-homes, then it's cold out, so let's do some more not-at-home follow up visits on the way to McDonalds. Then it is time for a break. Then maybe a Bible study with a lonely 75 yr old lady, or drop a few mags off at doctor's offices/laundromats and then it is time for lunch. Yes, the JW's are really trying to find the sheep today.
when were you ever in my car groups?!?! ( if i did the "day text" *with my beanie on* with the kids before they left for school, my BS conductor told me that would start my time) we had "phone territories" which were photocopied pages of the phone book and colour-coded highlighters.. left message/no answer/NI/RV/DNC/KMA.......they sure made for pretty phone lists..... ( what WAS i thinking?!?)
