Dogs in field service (page 2)

Funny story:

One time - when I was a teenager, I was out door-knocking with a fella. We got to this one house, and he starts in with his presentation.

The lady, behind the screen door, kept looking out past us - first to the right, then to the left.

He stopped, and asked her "What's wrong?"

She replied, "That's funny. My dog is usually around here by now."

Well... the next second, this HUGE dog appears - from nowhere. The lady - quick-thinking, opens the door, and we go inside, while she is outside - trying to hold the dog off.

The fella I was with - continues to give his presentation... us, inside the house - her, outside the house... through the screen door.

She wasn't interested... so we had to leave. But it was kinda humorous... even at that time.

Regards,

For some reason I was a magnet for dogs and bees.... I have always been a little bit scared of the large dogs and these were the ones that were always at the end of a long driveway sitting at the front door. Fortunately, someone was always with me who loved dogs or who had a way with them. The dog or dogs would jump on me and sniff everywhere (you know what I mean!!) Or they would just stare me down. How come the poorer the territory the more dogs are at the homes? Never understood that. Nothing traumatic ever occured. Hey--maybe I really was a cat in another life!! HA HA

I heard that one too wha happen.

We lived in very rural territory growing up. Dogs everywhere. Never bit in field service. Ran into alot of dogs though. Learned to intimidate them first to see whether they thought they were alpha or not. A good stare right in the eyes and with a good pause. Usually let you know if it was a good idea to proceed or not. I said usually.

When surprised by a dog(or more like you suprised the dog) or any other animal wild or domestic I have learned to fight the instinct to freak out an instead become way bigger than the dog as you slowly scoot. If its the junkyard variety however you just better be quick. There is no intimidating the truly insane. And oh boy do they exist.

The one time I was bitten by a dog we were at another witness family's house, Got me pretty good. You know just the family dog.

I've heard all the legends too...

I had a different type of dog "bite" experience, one time a group of us sisters were crammed into a Ford Escort...(very small car). We were doing rural, and stopped at a nice house. Another sister & I went to the door where we were greeted by a huge St. Barnard...

He playfully walked us back to the car and promptly bit a "HOLE" in our front tire. It just went... Poof...

We walked to the next house and used the phone and had someone come and change the tire....

Quite funny after it was all over.

Casper you remind me of a similar experience - we walked up to a gate, wondering "why do these people have 10-foot chain link fences? We started to open the gate when a St. Bernard and her puppies came running around the house toward us. The momma SB stood up at the fence and then we knew why they had a 10-foot fence. Those mothers are huge!!!

Edited to add: by the way I'd like to say to the women who were bitten because they thought the angels were with them the same question I asked my mother: "why do you think god gave you a brain?" Reminds me of another idiot, not a JW but a massage therapist on a trip to China. We were sailing down the Li river - 5000 tourists a day go down that river. I saw that the kitchen was aft of the head, and the folks working in the kitchen were scooping up river water to wash with and cook with. EUUUW I warned my group not to eat anything cooked in that kitchen. This idiot sneered at me and waved her hands around and said she was putting a white light around us. Then she told everyone it was safe to eat the food. Well, all I ate was boiled rice out of the center of the pan, with my own hands that I washed with my little antiseptic wipes. Most of the others followed my lead, but this idiot ate everything they served and put on a great show of sneering at us cowards. We had to listen to highly detailed accounts of her dysentery for the rest of the trip. Idiot, it's all I can say. Use your fucking brains. You aren't special. Nobody is special. The animal kingdom just thinks you are another animal. Bacteria don't know anything about white light. Grrrrrr.

I guess they want people to go out and get bitten by dogs so the people can hear the bad news of God's Tyranny. If not, God will destroy the wuss that wouldn't even get bitten by a dog to witless to the householders.

White Dove

I remember that one.

A sister goes to the door of a convicted rapist.

He says he is not interested in her mags.

She leaves.

Avon lady comes later the same day.

He attacks her.

When asked why he didn't attack the JW, he said that would have been crazy with those two huge men standing behind her.

My Daughter-in-law was attack by a dog . Householder opened her door and the dog came threw the door. I was in the car and heard her screaming, the brother got out to check and when he got there, the hh grabbed her and pulled her in the house, leaving the dog outside and my Son was with her. He fought with his bookbag and the hh finally came out and the dog even bit her. We are all out the "Cult" now. White Dove I heard the sameone about the two huge men. I believed it then but know better now. I also heard the Devil was using dogs to try to turn us away. lol.
