I learned all that stuff from selling insurance door to door. Now it helps me get rid of the Jehovah's Witnesses (and Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists)at the door :)but I still can't play solo violin in front of people. Wow Chris!

But in the tub it just laid on a rock and stared at you which was somewhat unnerving whenever you had to use the toilet.

Training for the door-to-door work was covered in weekly meetings, which presented information on how to start conversations, overcome objections, and how to make arrangments for returning if the householder showed interest. Every time a new publication came out for use in the ministry or a new campaign began, they would present demonstrations on how to present the material. It's funny because I spot the same techniques used by telemarketers, and this has helped me avoid getting sucked into signing up for something I really didn't want. That's just a quick overview. So much more is covered with regard to how to use the Bible, adapting the approach based on the neighborhood and the person answering the door, how to dress, etc. The rest of the training involved just getting out there and doing it - maybe first just sharing a scripture or a tract, but then advancing to full presentations. Hope this answered your question. Hi Mark.

I would be very interested in the process for training to do door to door visitations for the Jehovas Witnesses, was that part of your Ministry? Thanks for sharing.
