You can keep up continuing dialogues with people far away. 6 Go door to door, hanging leaflets from doorknobs. Leave tracts or booklets hanging from the doorknob by means of cheap plastic bags. Or slip your literature under the doormat, or prop it against the door. But be sure you don't put your literature in anyone's mailbox.
Mailboxes are for mail only, and it's a federal offense to put anything else in a mailbox.
If you want to avoid such encounters, skip houses with open front doors or with people standing outside. Going door to door is most enjoyable when you walk with a friend. Each of you can cover one side of the block. If one of you gets into a discussion with a resident, the other can cross the street and help guide the conversation. Write to the editor when the press misrepresents the faith.
