Campaining

[Mrs. Enigma]

How many of you have been involved in campaining, maybe even traveling acros country to knock doors, etc.?

I have only been involved in going door to door in my own state in the past, as a teen. Sometimes people would come up from Texas, etc. though to help us do the door knocking.
So, what about you....

[Frame1520]

For a political candidate?

[Silent Enigma]

She means door to door evangelism.

[Frame1520]

Yes I have done that.

[Mrs. Enigma]

Interesting.

[Frame1520]

Why do you ask?

[Mrs. Enigma]

Not much reason, just thought I would talk with people raised similiarly to me.

[Frame1520]

I personally don't think "cold calling" is all that effective these days. We've had very little success with that. What about you? What is your experience with it?

[Mrs. Enigma]

No real success. Someone thought we were JW's onces, so at the next house we made it clear that we were not JW's right away. That woman, however WAS a JW, so it did not go to well. I don't know of any good members that come from passing out tracts and stuff.

My personal witness is being very very nice to the clerk at the quick-e-mart. You should see the faces of the other customers who suddenly realize that there's another human there...and they often continue the conversation.

They have to work Sundays, you know.

As soon as hubby gets that church, we're going to start a "weird time" service, and then, I'll be able to invite all those people.

That sounds really cool, I want to start a church maybe eventually if that is what God puts on my heart to do. That "weird time" service sound pretty fun and I got quite a laugh out of it. I was thinking about doing a housing project where my wife and I buy a house and then recruit people to help us refurbish it and pay them with food and the promise that when we were done fixing up the house it would be theirs on one condition, that they helped us buy another house so that we could give it to someone else. Just a little idea I had.

Ric Garcia

[Mrs. Enigma]

Interesting ideas, folks.

Ric, why not work for Habitat for Humanity, unless you have $50,000-$150,000 burning a hole in your pocket? You can make some wonderful connections through that program.

Constance

[Mrs. Enigma]

I don't know what much you could do with 50,000, anyway. At least not around where I live....
