  I hated holiday witnessing, man go to the door families trying to be together, and there we were standing there trying to get the magazines in their hands. God I hated that, go to the door and the person who owns the house was not the one to answer the door, they tell you to wait a second as they go and get her/him, the whole damn family staring at you like a turd in the punch bowl. Then the house holder comes to the door with flour all over them, family just getting there walking in behind you, and you tell the house holder you will be just a second. DAMN!!!!!!!! But we were not a bother we were doing the lords work, so now Im convinced Jehovah just loves to get on folks nerves.

  So did you like going out on holidays?

  I always thought it was distasteful and rude to interupt the holidays by banging on the door. But I was a kid, and didn't have a choice.

  As I became an adult, then I never went out on holidays. I figured that if I got the day off of work, I sure as hell was not going to get up early and go out in service. In fact, if the holiday fell on a meeting day, I did not attend that either.

  I NEVER went holiday witnessing. I knew of a congregation that used to cancel their Thanksgiving meeting night every year on a Thursday so that they could just have the night off.....until a new CO came in and told them to have a meeting on Thanksgiving night.

  In my old Cong, I was one of 4 elders the other 3 were regular pioneers. They wanted a group for service for all the holidays. They set the time to meet for door to door work at 9:30am for New Years day. Now that was fun. Hell Im surprised they didnt get a group for service for Groundhog Day.
