door to door recruitment..

[Losty]

Other girls with a strap on....hot.
Not really sure if I'm in to the idea of me with a strap on...

But then, that's a topic for another place :p

Well, once you've got them hooked, you could trade off on who gets to wear it. And you could get one that's double-ended too...

It's a topic for every possible place, as far as I'm concerned.

That's just because you like getting me into trouble! :p

It's easy you just answer the door naked. They won't come back.

answering your door in the nude will get you arrested and its a class 3 sex crime..

I had some JW approach me as i was sitting outside the laundromat a few blocks away..
I just let them talk.
They gave me a real full hardcovered copy of there book..
I have never gotten a free book for them.
I think they thought i was homeless because this homeless guy that lives at the laundromat showed me a copy they had given to him... Weird shit.

"Activity" is highly regarded by the JW leadership, and any preaching activity is to be carefully logged and recorded, with the report handed to the congregation each month. It's one of the ways they determine how strong or weak a person's commitment is, and whether or not the elders need to visit them in order to encourage them to do better. The number of hours preached is important, but other line items (books/tracts/magazines 'placed' with people, number of return visits, number of bible studies conducted) are viewed very favorably, as they indicate that the person isn't just going through the motions.

The door-to-door work is considered the primary way of showing dedication to the cause, and is a good way to advance through the local (and eventually, regional/national) hierarchy. It's the only way that a woman can advance as a JW, since women cannot hold any position of power service in the organization. In the past, the number of hours demanded of individuals each month could be staggering: in the 1920s they were told that they should be logging 175 hours every month (ie, a full-time job's worth). The president of the organization logged zero hours himself, since he was apparently too busy ordering everyone else around.

well someone gave me some kind of book.

[Tonus]

Yeah, some of them will distribute books and tracts pretty liberally because it looks good on the report.

I was gutted when I found out Jehovah's Witness stopped by the other day and I missed them. I was fully prepared to go Monty Python's Life of Brian on them with quotes such as:

"You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our lord and so...as a BLASPHEMER!"

"Are there any women here today?"

"Look I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just say Jehovah"

[Anomalocaris]

what do you do with door to door recruitment?
I live in a city and about once a week someone comes to my door.
like Jehovah's Witnesses and so on...
I have a "no solicitors" Sign but they say "Oh i am not trying to sell you anything" and i say no thank you and they ask if they can come back later and i say no.

I also have a private property sign and one guy said "this is not your private property the earth is GOD'S private property!"


So how do you deal with them?
Because they will knock till someone opens the door.
If they hear you inside they will knock all day.

I had one guy come back like 3 times in one day.

If I am pressed for time, I tell them to get off my property, or I will remove them physically. If I am not, I actually enjoy verbally spar with them in the most polite way. Not one I have thus embarassed has ever come back. The evil look they given when they seem me on the street afterwards is my vindication and its own reward.

I think I am now on some black list, because I have not had one call in several years.
