    people who deliver advertising material for distributors are in no way an employee of the distributor.The deliverer is an independant contractor.

    What I am talking about here is dropping off advertising material for businesses in letter boxes house to house.The wording is such that in no way can a person who may be injured ,one way or another ,has any claim on the distributor . They are sub-contractors

    So my question is : Isn`t this the same stance that the WTB&TS takes with each and every jehovahs witness who goes from door to door pedalling their message distributing their literature ?

    They are not employees of the WTB&TS , they are volunteers who do this of their own violition and we have no obligation to be accountabile for anything that may happen to them in the course of their volunteering . Isnt it true if any claim to be a representative of the WTB&TS they will be counselled against it.

    I wonder how many jehovahs witnesses are really aware of how much they are on their own as regards this religion.

    I remember an experience at a C.A. when an elder walked through a glass door , and he sued the school where we had that assembly , I was told at the time ,it was an insurance claim .Did the society fork up in any way ? You gotta be dreaming.

    It's a federal offence to put anything in a mailbox in Canada (unless you are a letter carrier, of course).

    I would suggest that anyone receiving WT literature this way, should report it.

    Smiddy, I remember years ago being told (very firmly!) to never slip mags or tracts under doors.

    apparently someone had done this & then it rained & colours ran onto the homeowners carpet. I heard that the WTBTS had to pay for carpet cleaning or replacement. This was somewhere in Australia in 80s or early 90s.

    " It's a federal offence to put anything in a mailbox in Canada (unless you are a letter carrier, of course)."

    Likewise in the states.
