After I cancelled my Comcrap service, I’ve had two people come to my door trying to sign me back up. One was so persistent that I was very close to “leave my property or I’m calling the cops”.
I had a Comcast cable on my house when I bought it. At first, they were at my door every other week trying to sign me up. After a few months of that, we got a letter telling us that they thought we were stealing cable, which is illegal. I called them and told them to get their damn cable off my house, and I have never had to deal with them again.
Reminds me of a church in a nearby city that, quite a while back, had a family that stopped going to their church. Subsequently, the family had not one but two or possibly three visits to their very home by some upper-ranking staff of the church (that I will call ‘agents’), demanding that the family begin attending their church again, even threatening them—demanding the money (back payments!) that the family would have made had they still attended. Word had it, the family had given a lot of money to the church over the time they were still members, so apparently the church’s pastor (or imperious leader) became indignant and sent his Gestapo out to nudge the family. From what I understand, the family eventually had to hire both an attorney and a PI to go after the church. I think that finally got them off their backs.
But to add, in all sincerity, this church was pretty much a cult back then, and believe it or not is still in existence now, and has its own college (as it did back then). The last I heard, the church attendees are not allowed to interpret the Word of God for themselves (I kind of have doubts as to whether they actually use the Bible, maybe their own ‘gospel’ like the JW). The pastor tells them what it means and what to do. The men and women, and children, are held to strict standards—the men must have very short hair, wear suits and ties, the women must always wear long skirts or dresses that fit loosely, long hair, and no makeup (and the women and girls must dress that way every day).
There was a teenage girl that worked with me in a grocery store once, a very long time ago, and she and her family were members of this church. She eventually ran away from home and had a mental breakdown. I pray she is doing ok now.
