   As did Jesus, but they were not knocking on doors. They went were they were   
   invited in regards to homes. And most of the ekklesia’s met in homes.

   Do you only go to the homes of Jews V5   
   Were did they preach? V7 as they traveled.   
   V10 they received from those they ministered too, as far as their needs were   
   concerned.   
   V11 find a worthy home and stay or live there, while in that town.   
   V14 if you run into a home like the JW today, leave kicking the dust off your   
   feet upon them.   
   V15 the total city of antichristian JW’s will receive worse than those in   
   the day of Sodom. Where fire and brimstone fell upon them,   
   Nothing there about door knocking.   
   While they were preaching the message of the Kingdom of Heaven they were to   
   v8. None of which does the JW do. You see, when believers are doing the works   
   of God as in v8 people everywhere will be inviting them to their homes to   
   help out with the sick, etc.and will want to know ALL about it. So much so   
   that the home will be crowded out and so standing room left. Which is why a   
   couple guys opened the roof to drop their friend before Jesus so that he   
   would be healed.   
      
   This is the way believers should walk.

   Every house they went into by invite. No door knocking needed. See your   
   verses just above and my comments.

   None of that happens in my city, not in L.A. nor San Diego. Plus they are too   
   cheap to hand out their magazines or Awake the new vitality orange juice   
   anymore. They are not seen in the city or county fairs, nor the ones commonly   
   held on RCC parking lots, etc.   
   >

   Not here, not a one is present anywhere. In fact their parking lots sit empty
