That's fascinating. If you don't mind me asking what percentage would you say were angry? And where were you knocking? (Approximately).

I worked in a call centre for a summer (no hard sell but it was an awful job) and location and politeness were directly correlated.

I've only had one JW call to my door. I'm atheist a long time now. Well over thirty years but we had a very nice interaction. He called back a second and third time, bless his heart.

Very small percentage were angry, hostile, or adversarial. I’d say less than 10%. And we preached everywhere. That was the point. Suburban, rural, city, houses, apartments, even businesses
