The night before Halloween is known as Mischief Night (maybe just a Northeast thing).
The junior/high school kids typically TP and perform all kinds of Mischief the night before. (i.e. egging mailboxes, TPing trees, shaving cream on cars, smashing pumpkins.....)
at my local kmart there is always a jw table set up.
i dont get close enough to actually see what literature is set on the table but close enough to view the free bible study sign prominently displayed in the midst of books, etc.. generally, this card table is manned by two or three young women.
Most congregations have suspended their letter writing because of the anthrax stuff. I wonder if sitting outside a Kmart is a way for those who can't go door-to-door to get some hours?
Shit, I don't miss those days at all. Stretching out hours, return visits you know aren't home. Blecch!
i've been lurking here for a while now, posted a handful of times, but this board has had a profound effect on me.. i have just finished reading coc which i would never have even heard of if it wasn't for this board.. anyway, in light of everything i have learned here, i have been waiting expectantly for the next unsuspecting jw's to knock on my door, just so i can er, 'enlighten' them.. about 15 minutes ago, just that happened.
i answered a knock on my door to be confronted by two jw's.
one of them i remembered vaguely from a neighboring cong, and the other was someone i knew pretty well from my old cong.. so what did i do?
