Ok, let me set the scene for you. I patrol a gang infested shit hole. It is common for me to respond to aggravated assaults, carjackings, kidnappings, bomb threats (you get the picture) on a daily basis. The area is mostly populated by Hispanics, I would say 90% or more, most of which are involved in or have family members that belong to a street gang.
SO.... the other day, I am driving around and I see two blonde girls walking down the street. My first thought is of course that they are hookers or something trying to find their way out of the hood. As I get closer, I notice that they are Jehovas' Witnesses spreading the word. Being the concerned officer that I am, I decide to warn these two where they are and that it's probably not a good place to be. I start to talk to them and find out that they are both from Sweden here on their mission. I explain to them that they probably shouldn't be in this hood and they proceed to tell me that they have to work, and that they can't leave.
I tried to explain to them that their lives may be in danger if they don't leave and they just thanked me for my concern and said that they MUST stay there and complete the job.
Now, my question to you is "What the Fuck?" Is the religion that strict that they would put people in danger just to spread the word?? If so, I don't get it, does anyone have any insight on this??????

Im not a JW, however INHO what they were saying is, basically...
we have to go door to door and make our numbers. (I believe that they have a certain number or a specfic target to get to going door to door) They really didnt want to see wheere they were doing it at, they had their heads in the sand.
If someone would pull a blade or something on them they prolly would be out of there faster then a bullet, and with some form of an explanation of NOT getting what they came for.
Toby, dont anwser the door with JD- a beer is just fine unless they are repeat ringers.
Yeah....I was commenting on something someone else said.
But the idea is that they feel they need to do what they are sent to do even if it causes them to be killed or whatever. Nothing you can do about that....its just a matter of their personal commitment....even if it might be an uninformed, or unwise one to you or I

Well, the JWs are as close to "cultish" as you can get. A few of the door to door canvasers giving away "watch tower" mags are working off loans from the church, others, are trying to work there way into the "kingdom hall", Heaven. Because, the crumby thing about being a JW is, that come armageddon, there will be a limited amount of space in heaven.
So you work your ass off for the church and you give them your cash, (and in some cases your body) and maybe, just maybe, you might end up in heaven.
What's a bunch of gang members, when your eternal damnation is on the line.
The only real problem is dragging us into the picture to investigate their murder, and/or rape.
Some people just can't be helped because they are under the influence of someone or something. In this case it was the "opiate of the masses" as practiced by the JW's .
There are some things that you just can't prevent so it's better, in my opinion, to just let social darwinism take it's course.....
However if these two were Swedish bikini team hot then I'd definately escort them back to the station where your heathen brother officers might get an opportunity to hear the word. Amen.

I am not 100% sure about that group but most Christian religions do not "make" you do that. But they will ask for volunteers to go to not so nice areas.

Bad scenarios: They come back to Sweden in bodybags.
Thanks Pacman for your concern about these girls who is fellow country females to me. Unfortunately they have no brain to think when you inform them security advises.You did your duty as a LEO to serv and protect and I honour you for that.
