There were two men in black at my front door this morning. [View all]

I could see them through my ring camera. They rang the doorbell and knocked. My dog went crazy, as he is supposed to. I had no idea who it was but I was apprehensive. I was not expecting anyone. They rang the doorbell and knocked again.

Finally I went to the door and opened it a few inches. Dog is still raging at them. The guy starts with "We're not selling anything"- and I answer "Who are you?" "We're with JW". I said "I'm not interested" and closed the door.

Jehovah's Witnesses - still not welcome. But better than ICE!
