Thank you for your work and efforts on this.

I lived about a half mile from downtown. Was harassed frequently at all hours of the night by official church representatives coming to our house looking "for people". We have never had an association with the church and the house was owned by the original builders of the home (my wifes family) who also used to own property downtown.

They are scum. They would follow and photograph me whenever i would ride my bike downtown.

Edit: they even showed up asking about my parents by name. My parents were not associated with any loans or bills and had no ties to the area or church. My only tie was my wife’s family who built the house and owned a lot of real estate in the area from the 40s on. They sold most by the late 80s.

pm me your email and delete here. Would strongly recommend against posting it in the comments.

edit: for everyone pointing out its a public email address ...yeah i know. Its just also usually against sub/site rules to post such information, and I would rather a good journalist not be punished arbitrarily when the crazies mass report or some other non sense.

edit2: BTW Hi Karin!

you laugh, but thats what stopped it for a few months until we moved. After the most recent 10:30pm door knock with four Seaorg folks banging on my door and refusing to leave, we kept a "12 gauge go away stick" by the door, which was motivational for them.

How does UNICEF ensure that the aid and material gets to those who need it rather than those who would just take it or abuse it?

edit:insure to ensure

I honestly have no clue, part of me thinks they wanted the property. Then when they drew my parents names into things, I was just flummoxed. Someone randomly banging on your door at 9pm asking for your retired parents who live 300 miles away and have no bills, or legal ties to the house or area kind of throws you off.

A couple of times they wanted to come in as they were "there to pick up someone", and they gave names I didnt know.

When they tried to hold open my door and come in was when I said fuck it and moved a gun next to my door for the eventual next time they visited.
