Reply #36: My exprience with a group of jahovahs witness visit !

[NicRic]

As a young 15 year old boy ,I remember answering the door one day and two ladys handing me a booklet ,and started discussing this religon ,I was taught to always be polite to stangers and respect adults ,so at their persistence I listened to them for probably a good hour .I finally told them I had somewhere to go. ! They asked me if I would be interested in going to their church the up coming Sunday and again trying to be polite , I said I would think about it . Iam a full blooded Italian and my family has been Chatholic's for generations ,my Grand Parents on both sides of my family came to the US from Italy in the 1920's ! Well the next Sunday early mornig the doorbell rang ,we lived in a rather large house and my bedroom was at the end of the upstairs hallway ,so I did not even hear it ! However my mother did ,who goes to Church every Sunday ,and was probably in the process of getting ready for exactly that ,well imagine her surprise when some 15 Johovah Witnesses where at our front door asking for her 15 year old son ? she was polite however firm that we where devote Chatholic's and had no wish to go to their church. To this day I still have seen groups of them ,come into an area and go knocking on peoples doors ! Iam still polite ,however I have learned unless you are really interested ,you must firmly say no thanks and quickly close the door ,B/4 a foot stops it from closing !
