i know, it annoys me too. I don't like the way the article protrays it but the householders are retarded too.

i dont' want to be perceived as defending the media's practice of grossly misrepresenting us most of the time, but, that said...theirs a chance that (1) he was at the door for 25 minutes (which wouldn't be surprising with the householder's antics), or (2) they kept talking to him for 25 minutes because they just wanted to keep him there as long as possible. Because, most JW's couldn't come up with a 25 min. presentation if they wanted to. But I've stayed at doors that long with an interested person.
