My best manuevers were going out in to the country and do witnessing. Now as you all know how many homes there are in rural territory . What maybe you can count them on your fingers. So after starting your time at 8 AM by going for coffee and toast, leave a magizine on the table or where they place the newspapers. Then after 15 minutes you go out side of resturant and stand like a pole and place a magizine or track with a person or as earlier stated in the window wipers of an automobile. Next drive for half an hour to territory. Take out your house to house record sheet. Print slowly and neatly the directions to the territory, the lot number if found if not make a full description of the house or farm . Don't forget to count the horses and pigs. Next gather your book bag make sure you have the latest mag. and then slowly walk up to the door and knock. Oh no no one is home. Shuffle back to the car while petting the dogs or cats.
They are mammals too. Next get back into your car. Make a notation that no one was home. Neatly return it to the book bag. Now start the car and drive another half hour back to the service arrangement. After arrangement make sure you bring someone not baptized so you can count this time. Next after prayer saunder back out to the car with your service partner. Oh would I pick up sister so and so who lives 10 miles away as she couldn't make it to the group, she slept in and the kids were late for the bus and her car broke down and she needs to get out so she doesnt' have to listen all day to her winey kids. Next return driving carefully to the rural territory oh say 20 minutes away. Sister so and so says I have to leave early today cause the kids are all alone. Okay we'll stop at 11;30 that will give you two hours and you drive down the country road admiring all the pretty scenery, stop and see the animals close to the fence, mention aboiut Jehovah's creation, still counting time.. Oh gee its close to coffeee break, do you have time or should I just take you home. Oh no I have time for a coffee and whatever.
Meanwhile continue speaking about the service so everyone hears you in the resturant. Smile at the waitress and tell her you have someting she might like to read. Still able to count time through coffee break. After 30 minutes you say oh my I didn't realize so much time went by. Well I will get you home and then I will travel back to the territory and finish that last house on the concession. 45 minutes. away.
Lalalala, slow down its lunch time. Pull over under lovely trees. Take out lunch. Eat smile and wave as people go by in their car, probably your not at homes are at home now.. Oh well I will come back tomorrow and see if I can get them home.
Lady and dog coming down the road. Good I can count my lunch hour. Leave her a pamphlet. Book bag is too far away. Talk for 20 minutes about creation. Oh are you a JW, yes I am. Well I told the last JW not to come to my house any more . Oh what house is yours? The last one on the street. Oh okay well let me come up to your house when I am finish eating and I will make sure that no more witnesses come to your door. I don't have my pen handy to take down your address and particullars so give me a bit and I will see you soon. After eating lunch cleaning up and getting the wrinkles out of your skirt and fix your hair and make up you go to the last house. Oh gee that lady likes to walk its about 15 minutes up the road. Oh gee my speedometer isn't working. Darn need to get it fixed. May be do that this afternoon. Go back to town half an hour away. Stop go into convinience store and then the laundry mat at the end of the strip mall and leave two mag. Wow what a morning, its two oclock. Oh gee I can go home now. Lay down for a rest and count my hourss up for the day lets see started at 8 am and worked right throught til 2pm gee thats six hours. Gee where oh where did the day go. Saunder back to car to go home. Oh there is sister needs to know everything across the street.. After standing for an hour talking to her I need my rest. You know what I had the magaizines in my hand the whole time I was talking to sister needs to know everything , wow thats another bonus hour. Now I have seven hours in. Back at home finally get out of car slowly as neighbour is working in garden, may be I will chat with her. We chat chew the fat, talk aboiut gardening and mention about Jehovah's creation. Oh now I have another hour gee I am having a great day now I have eight hour.
Tonight we go to the study, oh that will give me at least two more hours. Oh I am just having a fabulous service day. !0 hours .
Tomorrow at kingdom hall be sure to tell everyone about your productive witnessing the day before. I just had a thought I have all my service time in for the month. I can take the rest of the month off. lets see what is todays date. Its the first of the month. just think I have my 10 hours for the month. I am as free as a bird for the rest of the month. Next month I think I will do the same thing. And I did.
I am such a good publisher. Maybe one day I might pioneer. I will think about it.
How was your serviice for the day or rather the month.???
