We just had a visit from two Jehovah's Witnesses. That is the first time in 22 yrs that they have knocked on the door. Two very polite gentlemen in suits. No somewhat long winded dissertation. They just asked if we had a church and when I said we do, they handed me a small religious tract briefly explaining their doctrine, told me that the phone number was on the back if we were interested in attending their services.
It doesn't seem to be a very popular religious choice here in Baptist country. The Kingdom Hall that these guys came from is 47 miles away in Jonesborough Tn. There is one more, very small, Kingdom Hall in Kingsport. I have to admire their adherence to their beliefs, and the fact that they would travel 47 miles to share those beliefs with others.

We've had them here knocking on our door a couple times but it's been years since they've been back. I know their are Kingdom Halls in the area but I'm not sure where.

There is a Kingdom Hall on Trenton Road, kitty corner from the Deerfield firehouse. When we lived in North Utica we had them ring the bell several times. It was usually two or three ladies and they always left us with a Watchtower magazine.
I know some people considered them a nuisance but I am of the opinion that anyone wanting to bring their religious testimony to others is actually pretty admirable as long as they don't become overly insistent and won't accept the fact that you may not want to listen to their spiel.

Yep, now I remember where it is. I didn't give them a hard time & slam the door in their face like some do. I just explained how I'm Catholic & they left me with a Watchtower, they were very pleasant & went on their way. |

We haven't heard from them in years.
I don't think they venture very far into "da hood" here.
