Does anyone else see the irony in DefendingYourDoorstep.com sending ME (of all people) their spring e-letter?
"Greetings in the name of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13),
March 20th marks a change in the seasons from a miserable winter into spring. Not only does that mean warmer weather and blooming foliage, it means that the mission field at our front doors becomes active once again! Very soon God will be delivering His lost children (Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) in desperate need of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, right to our front doors! Are you ready?
Now, many Christians are hesitant to get involved in this mission field for many reasons. Some feel unprepared, others feel intimidated. We are looking to eliminate those worries.
For the first time ever (that we can tell) we are looking to create mission teams for this mission field. In other words, when someone is visited by Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, we want a team of Christians to respond! Here is how it will work:
You sign up to be on a mission team on our website by following this link: http://defendingyourdoorstep.com/Christian%20Soldi...
We will create teams based on geography.
When you or someone in your area contacts our ministry after an initial Jehovah's Witness or Mormon visit, another Christian will come out for the next visit or visits to help you in your efforts to reach the Jehovah's Witness or Mormon with the true gospel of Jesus Christ! After all, why should they outnumber you in your own home!?
THIS SERVICE IS, OF COURSE, 100% FREE!
This is a new concept, so we expect there may be some bugs to work out, but initial response has been favorable. If you would be interested in joining one of these mission teams, please follow this link and sign up today!

Are they on crack? How on earth did they get my e-mail? And does anyone else think this is a cool idea? Should I make Jello?
LOL! UP, I think you and I should figure out where these "Christian soldiers" are, dress up as sis missionaries and see what they are made of! LOL.

Me accompanying you would make it the ultimate in irony!

I've never gotten that one before, but it is funny.
I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I wonder if the senders actually think we don't go out during winter. I know from my own frozen butt that AIN'T true:D
I don't know why you got it, but it sounds like they are just trying to make themselves, or probably himself look good.
I got an email not long ago advertising for some supposed group that would soon be "exposing" my beliefs all over the media. I waited, nothing happened. Not surprising.
Probably just a crackpot.

Oh my gosh, this is the best laigh I have had in weeks. Lets all take up our crosses and convert one another. I get JW anx Mormans at my door, fortunatly I have brain injury so I do not catch half of what they say. Regardless, they have their beliefs and I have mine. I do not know how they got your email, maybe a friend was playing a joke but I do think it is funny. Let me know if you decide to join their cause and go into the mission fields.

I'm LOVING the answers so far! Especially the thought of UP and Cattie dressed up as Sister Missionaries armed with Jell-o and spaghetti, with strplngwarriormom humming missionary songs in the background.

So too bad you responded. You should sign up and infiltrate their little teams and HELP the missionaries. Then you could turn on them and help the elders/ sisters convert them. I mean we all know that they are the lost sheep.
I don't know about JW's but Mormons proselyte all year round, not just in the spring.

I defend my doorstep with the simple sticker below my door knocker:
WARNING: Protected By An Atheist
If that fails to deter them, I point to the bricks on either side of the door and draw up a scenario of motion and mass, involving their heads and the bricks.
They knocked. I don't bother them at home.

Ugh. Just make it an even 50 cents and be done with it. I'm tired of them raising it a cent every 2 years.

there are plenty of witnesses who visit year around, world around.
where are you located that you think we are only spring time folks?
i have worked the street corners in chicago and detroit in the dead of winter, and ditto phoenix arizona in the july & august summers.
the latter, of course, were very SHORT stints due to the health situation.
if some 'missionary' group with which you are working would like to discuss or debate biblical subjects, we have one already going on yahoo. problem is, when we are in a BIDIRECTIONAL discussion, the nonchristian church folks are very light in their presentation and very heavy in their insults and ad hominem attacks.
write me privately, and i will examine your credentials to enter into a professional style debate.
if you qualify, you are in.
or, if you have another who would represent your pov, let that one contact me.

I'll help make it a numbers game -- forwarding this to the local mission home and volunteering to go on splits with the missionaries...

I'm getting this visual of West Side Story playing out on your doorstep. You know... the Jets (Fundies) and the Sharks (Mormons) singing and choreographed dance-fighting in your front yard.
"When you're a Fundie, You're a Fundie all the way, from your first communion to your last dyin' day!"
