I don't mind JWs knocking on my door, but I'm always bothered that they have younger children in tow (boys in their early teens). I know the JW position on post-secondary education, that it's pointless given the incoming end of the world, but I want to do something to instill the idea that education matters. How would you suggest I do this?

The last time they knocked, the witness asked me about my interpretation of a scripture from Isaiah (I think it was 11:9). I answered honestly, then asked him about his interpretation of Isaiah 14:12. I asked him if he thought it referred to Sargon II, some other ancient king, or Lucifer. I asked him if he's ever studied Ancient History, like the tribes and gods discussed in The Bible. He got uncomfortable and left.

I hope the boys listening got something out of it, but wonder if there's something more effective I could do.

Do municipalities such as Albuquerque ever name invaluable inanimate objects as defendents? Or only things they can sell for a tidy revenue? Has there ever been a case like City of Albuquerque vs. Rock that smashed a window or City of Albuquerque vs. Cigarette lighter used for arson?

What is the least valuable thing the city has seized and named as a defendant?

I welcome your company's efforts, but wonder why you limit sensory products to touch. Have you considered products addressing hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound) and photophobia (sensitivity to light)?

What would you say to Rod Matthews' brother, assuming he had one reading this AMA?

That's incredible!

(just kidding)

You're right--thanks for the correction.
