"he later was anxious to get some literature..."
I love that phrase. I always used to listen out for it in experiences at assemblies, especially when it was about an Opposer, a government official or local dignitary. For Witnesses, it's the Money Shot, where they can high-five the person sitting next to them and say, "We did it, again, brother!"
Watchtower January 15, 2000: "In El Salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw Jehovah’s Witnesses nearby. The brothers were never able to speak to the man. So one day they decided to try a different approach. Knowing that the man could hear what they were saying, they decided to preach to the dog. They came to the house, greeted the dog, and said how glad they were for the opportunity to speak to it. They talked about the time when there would be a paradise on earth, when no one would be angry—yes, when even the animals would be peaceable. Then they said a polite good-bye to the dog and started down the path. Much to their surprise, the man came out of his house and apologized for never having given the Witnesses the opportunity to speak to him. He accepted the magazines, and a Bible study was started. This man is now our brother."
Yearbook 1996: "That same day they were escorted to the border by two carloads of heavily armed policemen. However, on reaching the frontier, the brothers witnessed to their police guards, placed literature with them, and shook hands all around before continuing their journey."
Yearbook 1978: "In this way Manuel Alexiades was able to witness to Prudencia Font de Bordoy, president of the Catholic Action group in Puerto de Pollensa, a small town on the northeast coast of Mallorca. She accepted some of our literature."
Yearbook 1972: "The publishers were taken to the police station and questioned. The police, however, treated them kindly, accepted literature, shook hands with them and released them."
Awake October 2006: "Then, just as the carjackers had told them, they stopped the vehicle, got out, gratefully accepted some Bible literature, and let Susan and Anika drive away safely."
Awake October 22 1999: "The priest admitted to knowing the truth about some of the Bible topics that we discussed but confessed that he did not teach the truth regarding these things for fear of losing his job. Later Esther, my younger sister, and I visited his home, and he accepted Bible literature."
Awake January 22 1988: "Once when I was eight or nine years old, I was calling at homes along with an elder. A lady opened the door, and I began my presentation. In a very rude manner, the lady said to the brother: “You even obligate these poor children to preach!” “No, Madam,” I promptly replied. “If I am here, it’s of my own free will!” After that, the lady, speechless, accepted the literature that I offered her."
Let's face it, if someone accepts literature, that's another win for God, isn't it?

MrMonroe, you make an excellent point that is often overlooked by JWs. The Borg is first and foremost a publishing company masquerading as a legitimate religion. Without placing literature all the rest is moot.
