Let me get this straight...you want someone to donate a camera so you can record yourself returning fliers to Jehovah's Witnesses? I would seriously consider it if it seemed like some real injustice was going down here, but leaving fliers each week? Doesn't really sounds "camera worthy" to me...
weeeezzll--Sure, when you simplify it like that, it's definitely not camera worthy. They've spent years coming here after being asked not to, by me and the apartment manager, and others. They shake down our apartments every Saturday in a group. They are intimidating, yet not allowed here, by the management rules. They violate two rules each time they come here. Need more? There's more.
Maybe we can find someone in Austin who'd be willing to lend their time and camera to the cause. Even if they can't donate the cam, they might be willing to help get the project done. Also, a lot of digital cams, also record quality video with sound these days.
themightylex--Sure, and I've already done this a bit here already, borrowed. I definitely need to meet all the Atheist activists here in Austin, since I'm finding that I wasn't aware of some.
weeeezzll---What about the rest of what they do? They come to our apartments on Saturday mornings, and break off into three sub-groups, and knock on three apartment doors at a time, shaking everyone down to get them to talk about Jesus. This is after they've been asked to stop many times, and after we've explained that their trespassing and soliciting are against the apartment rules. It's harassment of the entire complex. Remember that part? Plus several other Xian groups need taping...
roccigiovanniberrini--Well thanks for the suggestion, but returning it isn't the problem. If I could buy it to begin with, I'd have one, and I wouldn't return it. lol I'm a starving artist musician and activist, and I do a lot of volunteer work around my neighborhood. I'm also not good with money to begin with. lol!
GodlessLife--There are many other Atheists in Texas, but a video camera and tripod are still an expensive combo. There's plenty of money in the USA, but unfortunately most of it is out of my reach. :o)
Another thing that some atheists do is they offer a beaker of poison for door-to-door cultists to drink, informing them of the Biblical admonishment that they not only can drink poison and live, they should drink poison and live to prove the mojo of their Christanic gods.
PageantryVisGuy---Well around my neighborhood, Herbalife reps have been canvassing too much, especially here at my apartments. I ask them to stop, and they say they will, and then come back and do it again, like clockwork. I checked out Herbalife at Rick Ross dot com and learned a lot. I'm glad it works for some, but they need to behave. Some call it a cult.
Hi Joe, you may want to check out freecycling, there is a freecycling yahoo group in Austin. Youtube wont let me paste the link to the site, the name of the yahoo group is =
Sorry Mate, don't have one, and even if I did I think from Australia to there would end up being more expensive then if you were to just buy one on ebay or something.
Sorry...I don't have a camera or a tripod either. Besides, I doubt I could afford to mail them across the continent. Good luck with this, I really want to see how it will turn out.
Glad that worked for you... For me I have told them that when Jesus comes back, I am going to fight my way to the front of the line so that I can be the first to nail his ass back up the cross where he belongs... They aren't too fazed.
It takes a special kind of raid to get this cockroach. ☺
Cont: And once when cultists refused to leave demanding I "hear me out," I told asked the kid they dragged door-to-door with them (makes them look less like insane cultists, do they think, do drag kids with them?) if his "Bishop" had molested him yet. That got them to leave but not before I told the kid to watch his ass.
And Mormons? I had to call the cops once for a pair of violent Mormon cultists.
NotSoOldHippy---You sound like you're ready to do something about this, whether it's happening to you directly now or not. Can you help me obtain a good video camera?
I'm always broke and am, in fact, trying to get a video camera of my own for my Crystal Lake dot NAME we site. }:-} Nobody but Republican criminals have money these days.
Cont: The kid asked both adults what I was talking about and they told him that most medical conditions aren't treated since their gods need "faith" and he (the kid) would be healed. The kid really got worked up about finding out that his parents would let him die -- I was the first to tell him what his supposed religion taught.
The last time cultists came to the door with a child, I talked to the child directly and ignored the adults. I told the kid that if he got sick his parents would let him die and I asked if he had talked about it with his parents already. They left and argued in the center of the street with the kid waving his fist at the adults.
Maxicolly----Good idea! I'll try that, but I doubt it'll work. They may not even recognize that particular violation of the Holy Spirit. But I'll try it...and maybe a bucket of cold water too! We also have to remember that this is an apartment complex, so I'm speaking for myself, among a lot of other people. So they may stop knocking on my door, but not others.
when they come to my door, i tell them im a homosexual satanic priest *from the city*. then i invite them in for tea. it doesnt really stop other groups from knocking, but watching their faces sour is totally worth the time.
dragon2wolf--I don't want to do anything really physical, but I'm convinced that even throwing water on them won't work. These are the cream of the crop of Jehovah's Witnesses, and they're on a mission! I have to explore other options, and a video recording is in order.

No cultist ever drinks. They always make excuses.
