Would something like this stop JW's from going door to door?

    Man Shoots Two Mormons Going Door To Door

    POSTED: 7:57 am EST January 3, 2006

    CHESAPEAKE, Va. -- A Mormon missionary going door to door was fatally shot Monday night and a fellow missionary was wounded by an assailant who fled, police said.

    The attacks happened just after 6 p.m. in the Deep Creek area of the city, police said, when a man approached the two, shot them and ran away.

    One of the victims ran to a nearby nursing home seeking help, police said.

    The missionaries were identified by church spokesmen Dale Bills and Michael Purdy as Elders Morgan Young, 21, of Bountiful, Utah, and Joshua Heidbrink of Greeley, Colo. Chesapeake police said he is 19.

    They were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where Young later died, spokeswoman Cheri Hinshelwood said. Heidbrink was upgraded to good condition Tuesday morning, she said.

    Police described the gunman as a black male about 5 feet 10 inches . They said he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and denim jeans.

    Police shut down part of the neighborhood while searching for the man.

    "This is close to home," said Bobby Gatling, who said he has lived on the block for two years. "Nothing like this has ever happened here before."

    There was no immediate word on what prompted the shootings.

    No, they would love it to have been JW's, it proves persecution for the name of Jehovah.
    I remember an experience done to death at Circuit assemblies about a JW who was told to leave a mans property or he would be shot. The man slammed the door and the JW got his tie stuck in the door so had to knock again. The householder opened the door and shot the JW dead. Anyway the householder later became a JW. (Who knows if it was true or another urban JW myth)
    Anyway, JWs lap it up as proof of their being the only true religion. Pity it was the mormons this time.

    I doubt it, they will just think they are getting an easy way into the new system.
