Your Funniest House-to-House Presentations

by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

so when my brother was a wee little lad, my mother was helping him prepare his first presentation.

it involved a paradise tract, i'm sure.. anyway, so my brother, probably about 5 or 6 years old, stands at his first door and makes his little presentation.

except he kind of forgot what he was going to say and kind of made it up on the spot, because what he ended up saying was, "if you'd like to live forever you can have this tract.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but I know a fellow that made the mistake of accepting a set of mags from a couple of pioneers one Saturday morning. I know he took them more to be polite than anything else. However, as luck, and the wt would have it, those two pioneers kept coming back. Almost weekly. After about a month and a halfs worth of rv's, my buddy had had enough.
He put a sign on the front door early Saturday morning, that read..."please come to the back door, front is broken".
On his back patio, he had drawn a chalk outline of a person, decorated it with a bit of red food colouring, and scattered the previous months worth of mags he had, around the outline, and waited by the window.
Those two pioneers came around the corner of the house, stopped dead in their tracks, and ran, never to return again.
He gets my vote!!!

Bloody Slack! That'd be the perfect segway to a sermon on the last days and the resurrection hope uncle tough pioneer

Why I joined this forum...

by UpAndAtom in

<div>my very first visit to this website several years ago, was because i wanted to find out what the few surprises were going to be at the sydney 2003 convention.

(i have family that are jehovahs witnesses but i am not) .

it took a few months to sink in, but i gradually came to accept the real truth that these surprises are nothing of the sort.

unclebruce

Well said UpAndAtom, Welcome to JWD As Emma said, your summary would make a great tract

They are sulking because their immature thread with "rude words and pictures" were deleted.
Very childish (both the thread and response)

Bullshit!

Simon, I post at a number of exjw sites, always have, always will. I don't sulk. If I have something to say - you'll know it.
I wasn't even here when the rude pics were deleted (I'm offended by dick pics myself and have even called for them to stop).
I was posting elsewhere when a few other JWD posters dropped in - what's wrong with that? Mary, Doc & Gumby are close friends and I'm glad they found me
Why the hell Doc Slugga got completely banned here is beyond me - he's a great bloke and very funny, an outstanding assett on any forum. I'd have given the bloke a warning (yeah I know it's not my site lol). The reason I'm not posting much is simply that I don't have the time. cheers, zerubberunc EDIT: Simon - you've got a great site here - the best! People are saying you've become a grumpy ol' sod but I don't give a shit - you'll always have my respect for providing this wonderful place (not crawling / just saying lol I made the decision years ago not to make "I'm leaving"/"I'm back" threads

Great thread guy's - some very funny stuff .. I love the "I have a message from outta space" line.

At one time we were instructed by the CO to stop saying "g'day we're Jehovah's Witnesses" and we were to do everything to avoid that. Well there we are on the first morning of this new instruction and my dad is standing on a street corner harranging the CO. "It doesn't work and it's dishonest" my dad is saying.

Apparently he ran into a householder who keep asking whether dad was a JW and dad (a very honest/earthy kinda guy) kept ducking the question. In the end the frustrated householder angrily said:

Now Look, when a stranger comes to my door I want to know two things: 1 - who they are and 2 - what they're selling!"

So from then on we all went back to saying "g'day we're Jehovah's Witnesses .. brief pause to give householder the chance to say"not interested" ...

:::

In 1973 I was working 'house over house' with ol' Charlie Berhardt (famed outback pioneer). Truth books were selling like hotcakes in the suburb of Prospect SA and we were keeping score of our placements as we went:

As we passed each other:

Me: "I've placed 4 books"

Charlie: "I've placed 5"

Me: "I've placed 6"

Charlie: I've placed 8"

Me: "I've placed 8"

Charlie: "I've placed 9"

Me: "may I come and see your presentation?"

So I go with Charlie to the next door and this is what he says to the woman who opens the door:

Charlie: "g'day we're selling these cheap books - they're just 25c each"

Woman turns inside, comes back, swaps 25c for Truth book, transaction complete lol.
