Re: marketing/sales advise to tableeghi jammat types
I have no issues with intentions, and I will even say fine you show up unannounced, i get other unexpected ppl, door to door sales, jehovahs witnesses etc, but majority of time if I am not expecting anyone and doorbell rings I dont even bother, if it is someone I know they will just call and say dude we are standing outside. so I am not discriminating, I just dont answer the door in general.
Now so okay thats how they do their business, if they want to chat just for a few minutes, drop me a letter, after all they know my address
but lets just say no they are just at my door so if they ring the doorbell once and there is no answer, maybe wait and then ring once more and then go away. The current gang showing up presses the door bell again and again. they have showed up when my wife has been alone, when the kids have fallen asleep, and when I am on a work call. The time they came when i was free I talked to them, but that was kinda funny because it was three kids telling me about this home where they get together for ishaa, maybe it was their training run because aside from the 3 kids no one else got out of the Van-full-of-Pakistan. Last time they showed up, I had returned from 2 weeks of crazy travel, fallen sick and was at home alone trying to sleep, but eddie van helen of the doorbell fame annoyed me so much that I wanted to open the door and give them a piece of my mind.
That is my bigger issue, they just wont go away..they stalk you for like 5 minutes. with eddie van helen of doorbell fame, returning for a string of encore performances every 20 seconds.
you guys basically have a problem with Islam so you need some spiritual checkup and Tableeghis are doing a great Job they will keep doing and they have seen lot of people like but they are still doing their work
