Campfire, I couldn't agree more. When confronted by these traveling bands in the past I've tried all manner of reason to explain why I'd just as soon not see them darken my doorstep again but they don't seem to get it. They've even gone so far as to say that their elders may not give them permission to not come back. After that I guess I became a prime target for them. Maybe they figured if they could win me over they'd really have accomplished a miraculous feat. I understand why they do what they do but how many times must I relate or debate with members of their faith? The same group seems to send various different members to my door alone or in pairs. The paired teams more often than not consist of a young person, who does most of the dialog, with an elderly person, aparently there to observe and help if things get sticky. I get the feeling I'm being used in a sort of training exercise and if so, I feel I should be properly monetarily compensated for my time and energy. Hey, if I'm going to get run through the theological ringer as part of this process but it means a few extra bucks on the side, I say, hit me with your best shot. You know I might just have something here. Those folks should just hire a few households as test subjects. Pay them a salary to be there to talk to when they need to train some newbies. I'll make sure to bring that idea up to them the next time they drop by.
