How did our own 'Foreign Missioners' convert the 'Heathens' in darkest Africa & elsewhere to Christianity? |

A few years ago a relative was approached about taking a job in Salt Lake City. After visiting on business he decided not to peruse it as he didn't feel comfortable there. He would have been an outsider and not because of his nationality. |

When my children were small, we lived in a fairly remote area, ( prefabs spread out along a dirt track) with a JW house and 'convention' barn up the road. |

I strongly recommend a reading of the Book of Mormon. I found one in a hotel room alongside the Gideon Bible. It was hilarious, full of "begettings" and "it came to pass's". My wife asked me what I was laughing at, and wouldn't believe me when I told her. On the "Drivel" scale, it is second only to Scientology! |

Co-incidentally, I usually open the door to JW in my dressing gown & then proceed to cough and snuffle. That usually sees them off :-D |

my son's friend found a way of deterring them - he had noticed they had arrived on his road in large numbers so he took off all his clothes and when they knocked on his door he just opened it and they fled - don't think they'll be calling back :-D |

We get JW's round here occasionally. Some take notice of the 'no cold callers' sign and others don't. They are always polite, as are we. I simply smile and tell that we are practicing Christians, but I guess I must have a 'no nonsense' look in my eye, as they nod and back away :-D |

We stayed near Salt Lake City back in the early 1980s when we were on a camping trip with our daughter, and went in to SLC from there. |

Perhaps I could arrange with the nice girl ( JW) who comes round to come at the same time, and just leave them to it? |
