  Field service horror/humor stories.

  this has probably been done before, but has anyone had any scary or funny things happen to them during field service?

  i used to go door-to-door with the most obnoxious elder in the world.

  if we approached a house, saw signs of life, but they didn't answer the door, he'd actually go around and knock on their windows!

  I also remember hearing the story of a full time pioneer, I think it was in western Canada, not sure...but he called on a house, the people were not home...they had a huge dog tied up out back....he left, and came back the next week, knocked on the door, no-one home...this time he decided to show his "christian " love to the dog....unbeknownst to the pioneer, the homeowners WERE home, and they caught him doing the nasty to their dog. They called the local KH immediately and reported him. I don't know what, if anything ever came of it....pretty sick tho' if it was in fact true....

  When I was about 13, my friend and I were doing rural door-to-door, and we went up to a run-down old house.There were biker-type people hanging all around, and when i offered the mags to one of the guys, he said"sure, I'll take your magazines if you take mine" and he handed me a hustler magazine...I blushed all the way back to the car...lol...

  Hot disputes

  did you ever have a hot dispute with someone for whatever reason a dentist that messed up your teeth or a lawyer that stubbed you his client in the back by doing a secret deal with your opponents, someone that sold you expensive shoddy goods or a teacher that gave you unreasonably low marks?

  or someone that caused a car accident and in the absence of any witnesses blamed you for it?

  Katie, that was WAY CRAZY GIRL!!!!!!!!! But i give you credit for doing it, I woulda been too angry, and probably would have continued the fued.....and he woulda killed me with the axe or shovel he kept in his car....lol.....you have to be careful over here, and more-so in the USA.....you don't have to do anything, but look at another driver and they'll tear a strip off you...or just shoot you...I used to flip off someone who pulled a stunt on me, but now I just let it go.............I'd like to live another day..

  Hey Mary......where are you????????????? Tell the good folks here, your story about chasing the punks down who threw punkins at your door.......now that was funny.

  Hi Ian, I too, read the "fine print". Forgot my glasses at work, and now my eyes are sore, but my heart goes out to you also. I feel awful that you were treated in such a horrible, non-christian manner...it seems like it was all decided before you got to state your case....that's just wrong. Sounds like they were going to make an example of you.....I'm so sorry...hopefully it will reach the eyes and ears of someone "higher up" who "gives a damn", and the wrongs will be made right for you...unfortunately, the damage has been done.....they can't give back, your life as you knew it.....

  My husband was a crystal-meth addict for about 15 years...his method was to shoot up....every time he did, he knew he could die...but he needed the drug...and he could not shake it. His entire family begged him and pleaded with him to stop, go to rehab...but he couldn't do it...he was weak and sick...when he was high, he wanted to quit.....he went to jail for theft, to get the drugs...he robbed his own grandmother for the drugs. The crowd he hung with were all users, and thieves...just to get the damn drugs!!! The only way out for him was to leave the city behind....his druggie friends....he called his aunt in Vancouver Canada...and he never looked back.He quit cold-turkey, and although it was hell for him, he did it...he grew up in southern California, and it was very hard for him to leave his family behind. But he knew he'd die if he didn't get out of there....he has never even been tempted to use again...he is repulsed by it, and will never look back. He lost two very good friends to crystal-meth, and it saddens him, especially his best friend...he was on the waiting list for rehab, when he od'd....I'll never forget the phone call.....his cousin in Vancouver is a heroin addict, and is in the same boat, trying rehab again...she was a beautiful girl, now a skeleton....sick, and virtually dying....i only hope this time she will be strong enough to kick the habit...she has the love of her entire family backing her up....hopefully it will be enough this time.Good luck to your friend, I wish you all the best...it's a long hard road to recovery, but if your friend is determined to kick this habit, he will do it..he has to have the desire and the willpower...and the love and support of friends and family. Keep your chin up...thinking of you..keep us posted please...I'm so glad my husband was finally strong enough to break free. Thankfully, we were able to have 3 beautiful, and healthy children as well....

  this is the website: http://www.knocking.org.

  i studied the website, and it looks extremely favorable to watchtower.

  I was wondering when someone would post this....It was sent to me from an old family friend last week...I didn't know what to make of it....wasn't really interested in reading about it or looking at the site, so I deleted it.....Maybe I will take a closer look now.
