  dumb da dumb dumb...dumb da dumb dumb DUMB

  translation: YES I felt stupid, especially approaching people who were obviously older, educated, and more experienced than me and would say things I couldn't counter-argue. All I could say was, "Wow, you have a really good point there," and I would think about it more at home.

  I think that was part of my undoing as a young JW was listening to a very few smart yet caring householders and contemplating what they said. I could tell they felt sorry for me and that helped validate my negative feelings about what I was expected to do as a kid.

  I was a true believer and loved going from door to door. I was never happier then when I was engaged in a good argument at the door.

  With the exception of white sox and the beanie the picture you posted would have been a good likeness of me as a Pioneer.

  I hated it at night when people thought we were muggers but I loved it normally - I really enjoyed my time. I was pretty successful to (pride pride pride) in my two years I baptised 74 ppl :)

  My husband walked by the computer just as I scrolled past DanTheMan's picture...He stopped and asked, "Who's That?" I laughed and said, "Its DanTheMan doing House to House Work."

  He said, "Do you all know that people make fun of you for doing that house to house work?"

  I said, "Whatever, it's called persecution, closest thing to a miracle we have, the WTBTS told us that would happen."

  Yes, I hated it...and felt very stupid...and I knew people were making fun....

  Well as a dumb dumb- I did like it!!! I thought I was saving people from death...HIC!

  Because I had a sense of humor at the doors, I was able to make a lot of folks laugh.... That was when they were not throwing water at me...Or showing me their unmentionables... but I felt folks were so lost!!!! "Oh the gift that God had give us to see ourselves as others see us"

  I was a really big self rightoues b H. ( not as bad now LOL,,,

  Q

  I really dont know much about the mormons or the quality of your ministry, but does that no of 74 in 2years include any dead members of your family. As i believe you do baptize these.

  If it was all from door to door work or cold calling I am very impressed by that number!!!!!!!!!!!

  I doubt if ANY witnes can say they have brought that amount of ppl in the org in 2 years or even a lifetime

  In all my life I have NEVER been approached by a mormon
