OK i gotta comment about the guy that said.... "those beliefs "intrude" on the world in which we live"....I am a salesman. I HAVE SOLD PRODUCTS DOOR TO DOOR FOR CABLE TV...listen buddy, this is AMERICA..and IN AMERICA, people will knock on your door. For religion, for donations, for trick or treat, for sales, if youre old enough, for girl scout cookies (they were as frequent as there were members in your area. they had no organized way, it was just moms going to houses)
COMPANIES START by bulk mailings, Street sales, AND religious groups grow by evangelizing...AND THE USA is the BIGGEST OF ALL, and they did it with bombs. I bet you all are pro army. those men invade people's crap, because some president wants the oil below their feet, spewing about "saving freedom".
I AM AN AMERICAN, and in america? We have people bringing us things to our doors, we have people calling us on the phone, we have pop ups on websites, and commercials on videos we cant skip over... GET THE FLIP OVER IT AND GET THE FREAK OVER YOURSELVES because one flippin day??? YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE A JOB THAT MEANS YOU KNOCKING ON DOORS, and having people LIKE YOU talking crap about people "intruding" on your precious PORCH!!
BUT WHEN THAT PRODUCT, OR FAITH, OR NON PROFIT, or what ever it is, grows to start doing some good for people? THEN its all good, right? EVERY PRODUCT, has haters, and lovers. EVERY FAITH has the same, EVERY non profit has people that think its a waste of money giving them subsidies, and others that think they were blessed to have their help.
YOU people are the type that would turn America into a Communist land..where YOU can MAKE others do as YOU want them to do, and KILL the very thing that makes the country what it is....INTERACTIONS.
YOU would be the same people saying "dont FORCE me to accept bussed in people I dont particularly want to associate with in school"
YOU would be the people with the gated community, that would not only stop ANY from knocking on your doors, You would Hypocritically USE PRODUCTS INSIDE THAT GATED COMMUNITY that started with door to door sales..LIKE ALARM COMPANIES!!!
GET OVER YOURSELVES.... I know you people want to heap doo doo on JW's but seriously...Youre also the same people that would be on NO CALL lists and all that other nonsence.. THIS IS THE USA....if you dont like it...LEAVE IT...I hear IRAN needs people..OR MAYBE THE WEST BANK?
YES Im laughing AT you at this point. Its like youre a bunch of crybabies. I TRULY HOPE you have a SON OR DAUGHTER that is in school, and needs a job and has to knock on doors..to people that JUST HAD A COMPETITOR knock on the door LITERALLY A COUPLE DAYS PREVIOUS...and I TRULY HOPE another one of your members, come in contact with your kid, and then have them get yelled at and doors slammed on them... I KNOW youre gonna say its JUST JWs you dont like coming to your door..but that is a flippin lie! by the way you people talk? youre the SAME jerks that talk crap to me when I have an AT&T book in my hand, trying to get sales and feed my family.. So i dont wanna hear it.
