I have had heeps of funny and unusual experiences out in FS when i was a JW- its suprising how you can make your own fun when your utterly bored going door to door.
Well 3 things happened in one morning in FS when the CO visited our cong. I grabbed one of my mates for door to door as you dont want to get stuck with an oldie ( i was 17 then) so we made sure we were one of last to leave to drive to territory(like we own it?) and detoured via McDonalds so we were thus late for meeting on territory.Last street to go i saw a gap in traffic and thumped the accelerator and having a reasonably hoted up car did a massive burnout accross traffic up a short rise in the rode and on the other side stood nearly the whole cong looking at who the maniac was driving.Like Jim Carey i coudnt lie IT WAS ME!!!!!. The CO asked why we were late so i told him we dropped into a call on the way (liar liar pants on fire or what).So that was event no1.
Event no 2 .We jumped at joining in a group of the keen beans out to impress the CO you know the type almost running from door to door with eager anticipation to be told to bugger off.I pic ked them because its a sinch to find a house with no one home so you can loiter a good 10 min then walk to catchup with the goodies.Well we found one such door early in our efforts and it had a musical tune.We waited about a minute doing the usual and i pressed it again and it was a different melody! Awesome we kept pressing untill we got back to the original tune ( there was about 24 different ones)and decided we better get going so started walking away when the front door opened behind us,we turned and it was this really big really angry guy.He just glared at us and we took off laughing.Poor next JW who called on him.He should of answered the door we were only a couple of teenagers.
Event 3.Bad Kharma-again.We caught up writing on door to door slip to look good.The next house had a long driveway with a gate at the front so we went in abou 50-60meters and just got to the house when 4 blue cattle dogs ( australian invention of a pretty nasty dog that will takes on cows) can running from behind the house .I just said run and we sprinted down the driveway and just cleared the gate whe one of the faster dogs bite my friends bag as he jumped the gate and spilled his bible and a few mags in the driveway which the dogs tore up and carried off to there house.Amazing how much real intelligence animals have!That was really enough for one day so we said were doing some calls and went to Dee Why beach instead.
I will try and remember some more.Hell we should paste everyones expereiences into a handbook for young JW so they can have the wealth of our experiance.
