[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 3822, member: 7"] If my own mother told me that somebody stood at her door for three hours, ringing the bell every ten minutes, I wouldn't believe her. Especially if she told me that a JW was supposed to be ringing that bell, since we're not trained to do this, and in fact, we're trained against doing this. That's an incredible amount of perseverance and wasted time. Why would Guilion not call the police after the first or second hour? Not only that, we mostly work in groups of at least two. Where was his group? Did they just wait patiently in the car for three hours? Individuals working alone isn't unheard of, but it is uncommon. Speaking of police, it's not like each "jurisdiction" gets taught different things. If I were to go to Africa and attend the next meeting, I'll get the exact same curriculum that I would in the US. We make one "master" publication in English and then translate it into over 900 languages in the 200+ lands in which we operate. I don't know Guilion from Adam, but I'll give any JW a greater level of trust than I would a non-JW stranger, simply because they should have met the criteria for baptism and made a public declaration of their dedication to God by baptism. We should all generally share the same morals. Of course there are exceptions, but I'll presume innocence. So that's why. I'm presuming innocence on the part of the unknown JW, and Guilion's word alone isn't enough evidence to overcome that presumption, especially since it involves a person standing at a door, ringing the bell, for three hours.
