Exactly what bugs me about it. From what I understand, this is a requirement for JWs. Part of the bargain is the work you put in. Gotta sell that shit door-to-door, but it's for them, not us. Burning salvation calories. May be the case for Mormons as well.But you're right, people are turned off by this big time. If we were seeking God, we'd burn the calories ourselves and show up at their "house." I liken it to AA - drunks show up when they're ready to get sober, sobriety doesn't come knocking. If you ain't ready, you ain't fucken ready. You gotta want that shit.
