I don't know. Sometimes I notice some posters put a lot of work into making their posts interesting then they leave. Sometimes I think maybe it just becomes to much hard work for them?

average amount of homes?
by carla incan anyone tell me about what the average amount of homes are 'hit' in field service in one time of going?
i ask because i always said the day he goes door to door, so will i. i just 'hit' 54 mailboxes/newspaper boxes in a very short time.
(nice walk) i printed out the tri-fold from silentlambs and included the 'cease & desist' letter with "how to get on the jehovah's witness do not call list printed on the outside.

Carla excellent antiwitnessing efforts! Well done!
Unfortunately I can't really tell you how many homes are hit. Here in Australia it depends upon how many people are out and for how long. On a personal average if you stay out for 3 hours you would likely get 3-4 blocks covered between 3-4 couples. Yeah so I guess the average is one average size block per person per 3 hours.

My faith is developing slowly but surely at a pace that I determine. And for the first time I am doing it of my own free will instead of having false doctrines shoved down my throat.

It's hard to stay motivated when you don't have to get up and be at work at a certain time and have deadlines. What sort of work were you doing for your last employer?

That's true. Where I live there are lots of Kangaroos around. And since the lack of rain we have been experiencing more of them are coming into our urban area. Unfortunately we are seeing more and more of them hit by cars and ending up on the side of the road. Its really very sad.

LOL @ JeannieBeanz... Sorry Jeannie you have been led astray. Here we call them 'Prawns' not 'Shrimp'. I'm not so sure about the talking Koala's but don't say nobody has warned you about the drop bears. A word of advice - be very very careful when wandering around our native eucalypts...
Greendawn... Sorry to disappoint. We are pretty civilised here all in all... Most of the snakes are in the rural towns.
