I HATED going from door to door. It was really bad when the neighbors would call each other and say that we had arrived.
What pests we were!
Now, I don't bother anyone if I can help it! I'll leave you alone if you don't bother me.
Did You Feel Like A Pest When You Went House To House?

ESPECIALLY on the holidays.
I finally just quit going on Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving.
(Long before I left the Witnesses, BTW)

I always felt embarrassed at being a pest and we had neighbors in certain areas that would phone each other. I hate preaching.

I ALWAYS hated the d2d work. HATED it. It was never something I could ever get used to.
I was that brother that would do d2d for an hour then request to go on RVs. I knew most of them weren't even at home but it was an excuse to get away from that horrendously embarassing work. Also, I deliberately worked with those who had a ton of RVs and bible studies because I knew we wouldn't even be on the d2d work for long if at all.
Some people used to do whole days doing only d2d work.....I could never do that in a million years. I resent that the Society actually makes people go out and do it...but I guess it's easy for those at the top since they never have to do it themselves.
Who else used to hope that no one was at home?
