Well done.


That's 35 minutes on their "witnessing card" instead of one minute.


A good way to invite another visit.

You certainly can. Of course, not all J-Wits call on a Saturday morning either. And not all travel in numbers (like Tusken Raiders). However, if these three things are in evidence all at the same time it adds-up to an indisputable reason not to get as far as opening the door.

I wrote to the leader of the local church that knocks on doors and junk mails with leaflets containing a ridiculous combination of protestations of love and threats about hell (presumably if you do not accept the love). I was a bit of an arsey lawyer about it. Told him I revoked the implied licence for him or his flock to come onto my property and asked him not to trespass.


He was absurdly "I will be gracious and grant your highly unreasonable request" about it, but, no more knocking...

Honestly, I don't mind as they're well meaning people IMO (mind you I do work most Saturdays)


And sometimes I say "not today thank you" and they politely leave.


I quite like it that "person in towel and socks witnessed for 35 minutes" is written somewhere.


Makes me smile.

Anyone whom thinks it's perfectly alright to attempt doorstep indoctrination at anytime is seriously maladjusted.

And should be treated with a fair amount of caution and equal amount of ridicule.

Pity and fear these folk and all of similar ilk, extremism manifests itself by degrees, these mild mannered, suited and booted terrorists will hijack your reason, if allowed.

Beguiling and demure with their Cheshire cat grins. Be-aware fellow forumites your Saturdays are sacrosanct!

They will get you for that. Trust me.

I read an account of a visit to a JW 'service' by a clinical psychologist and he said they used techniques of speech that psychologists use.

Worryingly, there was an advertisement for the Church of Scientology on tv last week just caught the last glimpse- anyone else catch that?

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
