    I hope someone tries to phone witness to me.

    First of all, I will ask if the person is a pioneer. If so, bonus! I will let him do his spiel and tape record him offering me literature for a "donation". Then I will forward the tape to the FCC with a complaint that the person is telemarketing despite my listing on the Do Not Call List. When the dubs try to say they are not telemarketing, I will point out that they are selling literature at a higher price than they paid for it--that's marketing.

    Are the Jehovah’s Witnesses so desperate that they have resorted to phone witnessing?

    How many phones have been baptized as a result of this?

    Several years ago I was tasked with creating telephone territories for our cong I was the territory servant (and the literature servant as I was the only MS in the congregation). They were made for apartment complexes that we couldn't get in to. I looked up the addresses on the internet and did reverse phone number lookups to create the territories. They came out pretty good and were pretty accurate. But I never actually did phone witnessing myself, I was way too self conscious and paranoid to call people that didn't want me to call. Anyway, that's how I made the territories. People would then sit around a table and take turns calling numbers. I guess the ones who's turn it was NOT would still count their time during the 20 minutes or so it was until their turn again.

    So one phone between a group of witnesses? Is this how it's always done?

    Um, Richie, do you do this phone witnessing from the KH? If so, hopefully whoever pays the bills won't recognise any of those phone numbers. LOL Other than that the food, airconditioning and fraternizing with the opposite sex all sound very pleasant.

    Quotes, that was awesome! I will never get such a chance unless I change my phone number or move. LOL If I ever do get a phone-witnessing call, I'll have to remember some of those points! I take it Nimrod never called back?

    I've never done phone witnoiding. I dislike talking to telemarketers so much that I never wanted to be one...not even for Jehovah.

    I never heard of this before but it seems that the dubs are getting more desperate most people nowadays don't want to hear their tripe because they realised what their true colours are. Given the way they treat their members it's better if people keep well clear of them.
