However, I am sympathetic to your plight. You shouldn't be approached that often. No one deserves to be harassed.
The next time my doorbell is rung by a Mormon, I think I may ask why he thinks he was sent to do missionary work in an area of the world were his church was already firmly established. I mean, isn't Cardston (smaller town about 90 minutes south of Calgary) the Salt Lake City of Canada?
Doesn't the Mormon Church already buy television advertising? Doesn't that suffice the need for them to be out spreading the word without wasting two years of a young follower's life that could be put to better use?
I mean, sending 100 or so young men to Calgary to build low income housing, teach the illiterate to read, and various other social projects might be much more effective in recruitment and lead to a much better reputation for their faith.

Aw gee Howie you tho thweet!!! I don't know of any links to post offhand but I actually feel pretty sorry for the JWs ..yeah I know who am I to say that..but if you study them you might understand . I actually went to meetings for about 4 months..and if they dont use brainwashing tactics I want you to tell me what YOU would call it. What they think is a religion is really a multibillion dollar publishing industry. When they come to your door and say "we are selling this Watchtower just to cover the publishing cost " well guess what most of them don't know there IS NO publishing cost..everything is donated by people who want to be young forever and live in Paradise on earth in a physical body.. dont ask how all the people are going to fit please...but that's what they teach. Not saying that's better or worse than anything else but..They love to prey on Catholics because Catholics are not really taught to read the Bible..as a kid I was always told only the pope and his gang could understand it. Seriously tho if you knew what it was about you might get a bit sensitive too, aside from the harrasment
