stephenw20, (crossroads, can you please pass this on to stephen if he's no longer on-line? I haven't seen him post in a LONG time.)
I called the Charitable planning office today and asked the woman who answered to connect me to the Do Not Call office. She didn't know what I was talking about and said, "You mean don't call you on the phone?" I told her that no, I mean I don't want any JWs knocking on my door for any reason. I don't want them here, period. She asked me what state I'm calling from and said she would connect me. A man answered and I asked if this was the Do Not Call office. He didn't know what I was talking about either so I explained to him that I do not want any JWs at my door. He then connected me to another office after asking me what state I was calling from. Another man answered and I explained again what I wanted, adding that I have to teens at a very impressionable age and I don't want any JWs trying to get them to become members of their sect. I don't want them at my door, or in my house. He asked me my name and my address, which I gave him. He repeated it back to me to make sure he had my name and address right and he then said ,"OK, I'll notify the congregation." That was the end of the conversation. He hung up right after saying that.
Thank you for telling me about the Do Not Call office. Somehow, I don't think there is one though. The first 2 people I spoke to didn't know what I was talking about when I asked to be connected to the Do Not Call office.
I hope all is well with you. And you too, crossroads.
peace,
sombody
