The Baha'i Studies Listserv In some neighborhoods, people like visitors coming over and talking to them. Their neighbors stop by to spend some time with them, and then they leave. In other neighborhoods, people are more insular. They don't like people coming over to talk to them, and the neighbors usually keep to themselves. The point I am trying to make is that in some places, showing up to someone's door isn't seen as a slight against humanity as it is in other places. In my experience, where I come from, every one locks their doors whenever the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons patrol the neighbor to talk about their faith to people.
But I know some Baha'is who declared in the 1970's, and said they used to go door-to-door all the time in the southern states of the U.S., and that resulted in many declarations into the Baha'i Faith. Some times, people in the houses would take the initiative to talk to *them*, while they were walking down the street and asked *them* to come to *their* house. Sometimes what is inappropriate at one time, becomes appropriate at another. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-445352-274...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
