We get a heck of a lot of Jehovah’s Witness missionaries calling. In the past they would travel in pairs. Usually an old lady with a younger lady and now with a presumably married couple. They would always come very early in the morning when I had a long stressful evening. And always in the rain. It seemed very cynical. Most of the people living around here work shifts so waking people up to see an old lady getting wet is bound to be confusing and play on the natural desire to shelter people. I’ve been told not to let religious callers into the house so I always feel uncomfortable though I try to be polite. I know they feel the need to do it as part of their religious duty but with rare acceptions I never go for anything advertised like that. Their pamphlets also play on the fears of death and illness that the increasing aged population have in these parts.
